      Our dinner tonight was haddock and asparagus, both done in the Breville Oven-Air Fryer, and cole slaw.

        I'm back from Michigan and not really into cooking/baking yet! So I made pizza for dinner.

          Hi Skeptic! Sorry I'm so late in responding, but we've been teaching a dyeing workshop in Michigan and just got back Tuesday night. Yes! we will be at Maryland Sheep and Wool next week, and will have maple syrup with us. We're in the Main Exhibition Hall, first aisle on the left, A12. I look forward to talking with you again!

            This is not good news BakerAunt! Although, if I needed to buy a new stand mixer, I would be purchasing an Ankersrum. I had a Cuisinart stand mixer years ago, but after it died, I did not buy another, and I still do not have a stand mixer. I use a hand-held GE portable that is about 40 years old for cookies, etc., and a bread machine for mixing and kneading bread dough.

              The Chewy Semolina Rye bread is excellent - nice crumb and flavor. My husband likes the size of a slice, as it did not rise as high as most of my breads do.

                Today I made KABC's Chewy Semolina Rye recipe for the first time. The only change I made was to use Rye Bread Improver instead of vital wheat gluten. It looks funny, not a smooth top, and doesn't have a strong rye odor. We'll cut into it tomorrow to find out about the crumb and flavor.

                  Dinner tonight was grilled chicken thighs, wild rice, broccoli, and leftover orzo salad.

                    We had salads for supper - seafood, broccoli, and orzo with tuna, celery, onions, green pepper, carrots and Italian dressing. After 3 days of temperatures around 87 degrees, the 77* today was perfect for starting to clean up the rock garden, enjoy a margarita on the deck, and have salads ready to eat.

                      Today I made raspberry oatmeal bars. I started by thawing berries that we grew last summer and then making jam. I scattered chocolate chips on top of the oatmeal and berry layers, and then topped it with a sprinkling of an oatmeal streusel. They are delicious.

                          I don't start any of my vegetable seeds indoors, I either plant the seeds in place, or buy starts. I have started lettuces in planters, to be moved out onto the deck when the weather is right. I'll start herbs inside this weekend. And this year I've started a lot of flowers, with more seeds to plant. I did a very little bit of winter sowing, in clear plastic containers this year, and I'm eager to see when Mother Nature does her thing and the seeds sprout. I don't plant anything outside until Memorial Day. Although, maybe things will be different this year. It was 86 here today, a record for this date. Next week will be a lot cooler here, also, although it appears temperatures will stay above freezing from now on. I'll be traveling a lot for the next 6 weeks, so hopefully all my starts will survive some neglect.

                              Joan, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm praying both of you to be strong.
