      Dinner tonight was grilled ham steak with broccoli salad and potato salad.

        Today I made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

          The dinner rolls I made yesterday are delicious! I'll be making these again.

            My husband finished off the leftover clam chowder. I had a large salad, with lettuces from the sunroom, orange sweet peppers, onions, tomato, cheddar cheese and Ranch dressing.

              I made dinner rolls, using a basic bread recipe to which I added a generous helping of Herbes de Provence. I shaped 12 rolls with 80 grams of dough in each, and rolled the tops in KAF's Artisan Bread Topping seeds. 80 grams makes a fairly large roll, good to have with a bowl of soup; but it is more bread than I want to eat with a "dinner" meal.

                We had roasted chicken thighs, wild rice, and butternut squash.

                  Cheesesteaks for dinner tonight, with fresh hoagie buns.

                    Mike, that is the worst part about cooking and baking! I absolutely hate figuring out what to make for tonight!! I try to make a menu for the week, knowing I can shuffle things from one day to another if needed. And new thoughts, recipes, cravings, etc can wait and go on the menu for next week!

                      BakerAunt, sorry about the delay responding to your question about canning maple syrup. Yes, I would use a good quality pan to heat it, stainless or enamel would be good. Bring it to 185* and turn off the heat. Put it in mason jars immediately, leaving a little space for it to expand if you are going to freeze it. It will keep "forever" in the freezer. It will keep for a long time, generally they say about a year, stored in a cool, dark place.

                      Thanks for the recipe for the buttermilk bread, I don't recall having made that, but it is very similar to my go-to bread. I'll make this one, with all your changes, next time I make bread. I'm having some vision issues, so reading recipes and computer screens is challenging at this time. Hopefully a new med will help.

                        Speaking of KAF, I bought a 50 pound bag of Sir Galahad (AP) flour there on Thursday. It was $49.95. I was surprised since when I bought it last, in November I think, it was about $55. I fully expected it to have gone up, since all their other products have increased. Unfortunately, since that is the whole sale price, sales or Rewards don't count.

                          Tonight we had chicken in a bun sandwiches. I had lettuce, onion, Trader Joe's Garlic Aioli Mustard, dill relish, and a slice of melted cheese on mine. My husband had Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce on his.

                            BakerAunt, that's great you have a local syrup producer. And the price is right! Around here, most folks are selling it for $23 quart, but my husband has not raised his price. We will boil tomorrow, and then it looks like Mother Nature will shut us down late this week.

                            Where can I find the recipe for the Mostly Whole Wheat Maple Buttermilk Bread? We really like the maple oatmeal recipe from Beth Hensperger's Bread Machine Cookbook, but your recipe sounds like we should try it. I've made some changes to Beth's recipe, including subbing whole wheat for some of the bread flour, so it is also "mostly whole wheat"!

                              Thank you to your wife for figuring out the carbs, Mike. That's helpful. Three of those cookies would bring my sugars back up within normal range, too. If only my husband had not already finished off the batch!

                                Good to see my 2 favorite tomatoes on your list, Mike -- Amish Paste and Celebrity. I buy all my veggie starts, except for direct sow things and sometimes a couple of experiments. I've started a lot of annuals and perennials this year, and will start herbs tomorrow. I'm also trying winter sowing - not impressed so far; it's been labor intensive.

                                  Mike, are you actually eating all those peanut butter cookies, or are you feeding them to the birds??!! Have you tried them with chocolate chips? IMO, that takes them over the top.
