I would also suggest adding some mustard to the ham and potato soup. I plan to cut the rest of the ham off the bone today, and then cook the bone for soup. Last summer for a "chowder pot-luck" I made Dutchess soup and added chunks of potato (so that it qualified as a chowder!) and ham - it was excellent. I might use some of the ham to make that again. I also will put some into the freezer for omelets, egg muffins, etc.

A food truck has been coming to the parking lot of a daycare center near us on Fridays and Saturdays for the past month. This is a real treat for such a rural area. So I picked up San Diego style fish tacos for our dinner - delicious! However, it's not quite the same as sitting on the pier over the waters of the bay on a sunny day, not when it's raining and the temp is 34*.

I was at TJ Maxx this morning, first time in ages, and I found nothing to buy!! I also went to Joann's and the one item I wanted to buy there was out-of-stock! A half hour drive, each way, and I bought nothing except a tank of gas. Baking is more fun.
So I made a 9 x 13 pan of date-nut coffee cake when I got home.

About a mile from here, there were two dens of rabid foxes a few months ago, which Fish and Game trapped; it might have been part of that crew. However, last night we saw, on camera, the bobcat saunter through the back yard.
I began baking all the cookies I've been making and freezing for the previous 3 weeks. I have a couple more dozen to bake.
December 23, 2023 at 5:35 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of December 17, 2023? #41389Today I made tomato soup, which we had for dinner with onion-wild rice rolls. I also made a fruit-lime jello mold, which will be part of our Christmas dinner tomorrow evening.
December 22, 2023 at 3:05 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of December 17, 2023? #41384I got a quart of garden tomatoes out of the freezer and made a sauce with rice for a dinner of stuffed peppers and some of the garlic knots I made yesterday.
Today I made Buckeye Bars. Not sure they belong under "Baking" because they are no bake. But they are also no cook. The best part is they taste just like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, and who can resist peanut butter and chocolate?
I'm looking forward to your new recipe, BakerAunt. The Sandwich Rye Bread is one of my favorite recipes. I often substitute pumpernickel for the medium rye.
Today I made garlic knots, to serve with the Christmas Eve ham. I need to decide on another kind of roll, to make tomorrow, for those who don't eat garlic.
Len, that trick to softening butter sounds great, and thanks, I'm glad to know it works.

December 20, 2023 at 7:05 am in reply to: Would Cranberry Relish and Ricotta Work in a Sweet Roll? #41355I think that combo should work fine in the recipe for the lemon braid. The consistency of the filling would be about the same. It sure sounds delicious.
