Thanks for posting your thoughts, BakerAunt. I have not opened my bag of that flour yet, although I bought it a couple of months ago. But you have motivated me to use it.
Dinner here was leftover Duchess soup that I had made yesterday for a luncheon. And a piece of leftover decadent chocolate cheesecake. BakerAunt, we could have at least Faced-Timed the pile of dirty "Thanksgiving" dishes in the sink!!
I made Irish Apple Cream Scones from onehotoven.com with the change of heavy cream to half and half, and the addition of cinnamon bits. I made dropped/scooped scones instead of my usual version baked in the KAF mini-scone pan (much easier and quicker to make "drops"). They are excellent and I will use that recipe again.
We had tomato soup, made with tomatoes from our garden last summer. With it, we had focaccia I made this morning, sprinkled with KAF's The Works on top. The temperature here is now 10*, so soup was perfect.
Today I made2 loaves of Harvest Grains bread. I also made a carrot cake for my husband's 81st birthday. I made some substitutions, including apple sauce for some of the oil, and fruit cocktail for pineapple. I much prefer the flavor of the pineapple over fruit cocktail.
I made ham soup, with shredded zucchini, matchstick carrots, chopped potato, celery, onion and red pepper, and all the bits of ham I got off the cooked ham bone plus the broth it was cooked in.
