Yes, the cookie craze is alive and well in northern New England. We stopped at Crumbl on our way home from Maine on Monday. People are thrilled with Crumbl! Me? Nope. My cookies are just as good, mostly better in flavor and texture, and a lot cheaper even when made with top quality ingredients. The main difference is mine look home-made; they're not perfect. Fine - I even eat the funny lookin ones.
I made Duchess soup for our supper and extra for the freezer.
I tried a new recipe for Spoon Rolls from the Lodge company yesterday. It was interesting, as it called for both yeast and self-rising flour, and required no kneading as it made a batter type dough. I don't use self-rising flour so substituted AP and baking powder. It made a lovely batter, easily scooped into the mini-cake cast iron baking pan. The rolls are different, neither a dinner roll nor a muffin type. They were not as good, naturally, as a true yeasted dinner roll, but they were quick, easy, and ready to eat in 30 minutes. They were a little bland, but would be quite tasty with the addition of grated cheese, a few red pepper flakes, or an herb mix. However, I had one for lunch today and it simply disintegrated, crumbling into pieces. My husband had one for breakfast, split, toasted, and buttered, and said it did not crumble at all. Does anyone have any thoughts about what might have caused this to happen, and remedies I could try? I can post the recipe if that would help, and it is on their website.
Happy Birthday, Joan. Glad you received lots of love on your special day!

On the way home, we stopped at Trader Joe's and I bought dinner for tonight: a cruciferous chopped salad with sesame ginger dressing, and chicken sausages. So I just had to heat up the sausages, which were very mild, not a lot of flavor, but the salad was excellent.

Today I made date-oatmeal cookies.
February 20, 2023 at 6:22 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of February 19, 2023? #38504Dinner tonight was salmon on the grill, baked potatoes, and roasted mixed veggies.
I made 2 loaves of Walter Sands white bread, although I subbed in 2 cups of whole wheat for 2 cups of AP, and added flax meal.

I made a dozen bagels today.

February 16, 2023 at 6:19 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of February 12, 2023? #38458Thursday dinner was egg salad on rye bread. Eggs are cheaper now -- $4.89 a dozen for large.
I'd love to have a foot of snow dumped on my deck! All we have is brown grass. And it's been so warm (50s during the day) this week that it is now mud season here.
Today I made heart-shaped chocolate Linzer cookies with F.R.O.G. jam. That is an Amish jam made of figs, raspberries, orange peel and ginger. These were my belated valentine gift to my husband.
