For Thursday dinner, I made my sheet pan maple-glazed chicken and sweet potatoes with rosemary. We had steamed green beans (from farmers’ market) on the side.

On Thursday morning, I baked Wheat Germ Corn Muffins, a recipe from the back of a package of Bob’s Red Mill wheat germ. I also found it on their site:
It is like most cornbread recipes, but it uses just half a cup of cornmeal and adds ½ Cup wheat germ. I substituted buttermilk for regular milk, so I added ¼ tsp. baking soda (did not reduce the 1 tsp. baking powder), reduced the salt from ½ to ¼ tsp.. Instead of melted butter, I used 3 Tbs. canola oil. I made them as 6 large muffins rather than 12 standard. I had a warm one with butter—delicious!

On Tuesday, I baked yet another of my variations on Antilope's bread, which I've been making progressively more wholegrain. I've started keeping a file of my variations. I baked it in the Emile Henry long baker.
My husband thinks that our non-fruiting black raspberries show a genetic issue because they are a clone of the ones that grow behind our shed. Those also flowered but did not set fruit. We've noticed as well that, for some reason, there do not seem to be that many bees around.

Interesting article, Mike. I always assumed that the pioneers used sourdough starters.
For breakfast on Tuesday, I baked a new recipe, "Cream Scones," from Beatrice Ojakangas' Breakfast with Beatrice (p. 200), which is a collection of her breakfast recipes from her various cookbooks. The recipe makes four small scones, and my only change was to substitute in 1/4 cup of cake flour for part of the 1 cup flour. These have a light texture and are slightly sweet.
We tried a bit of the jam--the little bit that did not fit into the canning jars. Black raspberries have wonderful flavor.
Mike--I asked my husband, and he said that the plants did flower, but for some reason those on the south side of the terrace did not get fertilized. It's odd because a stairway about 2 feet wide is all that divides the north and south.
Today I was able to make and can four jars of Black Raspberry Jam. The raspberries came from our terrace and from my husband's larger woodlands. He picked a quart basket of them today, and those along with the ones from the terrace were enough for jam. He tells me that there are a lot more out there, so I may make a second batch.
I spent the latter part of Monday afternoon making four jars of Black Raspberry jam.
On Monday morning, I baked a pumpkin pie.
Navlys, If you really want to try this recipe, and you live in a cold winter climate, I'd vote for waiting until it was freezing outside!
Last week, I promised my husband a pumpkin pie, so on Sunday, I made the buttermilk crust dough (with some added sugar). The pie will have to wait until tomorrow, as we ended up taking the dog for a frisbee session this evening.

Prices on pork tenderloin have been excellent, so I am again making Maple-Glazed Pork Roast (Cooks Illustrated) with mashed potatoes, along with steamed green beans from the farmers’ market, for Sunday dinner--and dinner for the next several days.
Joan--What do you put in your lima bean soup? Ham? I have a vague recipe of my mother making such a soup. She adored lima beans.
Thanks, Joan. I rarely follow a recipe anymore for soup. It comes down to the question: What do I have in the house? I did, however, buy the zucchini with soup in mind.
On Saturday, I made chicken stock using the bones from the rotisserie chicken we had this week, and the bones from another that were in the freezer.
Our black raspberries on the terrace are ripening, but not enough at one time to have enough for jam, unless my husband can locate some in his woodlands. Maybe I should combine them with any more strawberries I can find at the farmers market.
Our Blue Lake Bush Beans are looking suspiciously like Pole beans. As our garden area is very small, that is not so great for the row planted next to them. The bean plants are flowering.
