Mike, we had spaghetti last night also - the first time in several years!! Tonight I made chicken cacciatore, served on rice.
I made cookies today, an experiment. These were drop cookies, made with 3 tablespoons of Tang drink mix for the orange flavoring, plus about 1/2 cup of orange peels I had candied, and about 1/3 cup of cinnamon chips that I made and had in the freezer for a couple of months. The cinnamon chips did not stand up well to be stirred into the stiff cookie dough. They crumbled, although not quite as fine as powdered cinnamon. The flavor is really good, but I'd prefer the impact of small cinnamon chips scattered throughout. I do think the home-made chips would be fine in a muffin or sweet bread batter, which is not as stiff and likely to crumble the chips.
We had leftover leftovers -- turkey soup and turkey salad sandwiches. We are predicted to get 12-18 inches of snow by mid-morning. But it's 44* here now, and not predicted to get below 35*. I have to wonder where meteorologists get their training these days!
Yes, that ricotta-cranberry sauce pizza sounds especially good. I love to read about your creative baking, Skeptic!
I cooked our turkey breast remains and carcass with veggies for soup. Most of the meat I made into turkey salad with celery and onions for sandwiches on rye bread that I pulled from the freezer. A perfect meal for an evening with the temp at 20* and going down.
I made two large and one small loaf of the Maple Oatmeal Wheat bread this morning.
I made Duchess Soup, which we had with the semolina-rye-wheat rolls I baked yesterday.
I made semolina-wheat-rye rolls today.
My husband grilled ribs on the deck tonight. I roasted carrots, squash, and parsnips. We have a weather warning and are forecast to get 5-8 inches of snow tomorrow through Monday night. We've been getting a lot of ice prior to storms lately, a new weather pattern, which results in a lot of power outages - although we have not lost power, yet. I didn't want him to be grilling in 8 inches of snow! I have soup on the menu for tomorrow night!
Thanks everyone for the information about webrestaurant. I'm being extra careful to avoid scams these days.
Today I made molasses cookies and lemon-oatmeal-sugar cookies -- scooped and frozen raw, in the freezer to be baked later for my Christmas cookie trays.
Our dinner tonight was shrimp and broccoli alfredo on bowtie pasta, with a green salad.
Does anyone buy (or have bought) from webstaurantstore.com? Is this a reliable company? I'm thinking about making a purchase there. Thanks for any input.
Today I made a blueberry pie, using the recipe from Macrina Bakery. I also made Cranberry Coconut slice and bake cookies dough to freeze, then bake the week of Christmas.
Sorry about your dog's surgery, BakerAunt. I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Thanks, Mike. I had searched the Forum Tools section for the recipe, and finally this morning looked at Favorite Recipes and found it there. I think I've made it before, but I have so many peanut butter cookie recipes (my husband's favorite) that I'd given up trying to remember which I used. I'm working on my list of Christmas Eve cookies, as I put out several cookie trays for our family Christmas dinner. I'll freeze the doughs, as slice & bake or scoops to be baked the week before our gathering.
