I've been paying 3.99 for a dozen large eggs for about 6 months now, but 2 weeks ago the price was up to 4.49. I noted that there were some low supplies or empty shelves then, also. King Arthur flour was on sale for 2.50 for 5 pounds (just a couple of the basic flours) so most of that section was empty. Chicken was 1.49 (that is not a typo!) on sale for boneless breasts and thighs; it's usually over 3.00 per pound, so I bought several packages. This is at a small, northeast only, chain store. I'm going to do my biweekly shopping trip today, I do not want to see my total.
I made 6 small loaves of Lemon Blueberry bread, as gifts for Christmas.
I made Mint Chip Chocolate cookies. I used the basic Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie recipe, adding about 3 tablespoons of cocoa; I didn't measure, just dumped the last of the container into the dough. The mint chips are coated with colorful sprinkles; I found the 12 oz bag of them while cleaning out a box in my pantry. It said "Best if used by [something] 2014. They tasted fine, so I stirred in about half the bag. I have the dough chilling now, and will scoop out cookies in the morning. I'll bake a few now, but most will go into the freezer, raw, for baking next week for cookie trays.
Today I made 2 loaves of Harvest Grain bread.
Our dinner tonight was liver, pan-fried potatoes and onions, and broccoli.
We had leftovers - taco stuffed spaghetti squash.
Today I baked KAF's Caribbean Rum Cake for a holiday gathering. I also made my variation of the orange-cranberry bread recipe in The Secrets of Jesuit Breadmaking. This a very forgiving recipe for making changes - I used dried craisins and orange peel that I had candied yesterday. I put the batter into 6 small ceramic bread pans, to freeze for gifts.
On Tuesday, our dinner was spaghetti squash stuffed with typical taco fillings.
My husband is a self-proclaimed honey expert! Tupelo one of his favorites.
No baking today, but I went to the KABC retail store! They were having 2 days of their "friends and family" sale, with 20% off. I bought a couple of mixes for Christmas presents, and restocked my pantry with Pumpernickel, Malted Wheat Flakes, Semolina, Bread flour, and Lemon Juice Powder. And I helped my sister buy some gifts; I love spending other people's money! We also sat in the Cafe for an hour or so, chatting, with coffee and some baked goods.
Our dinner tonight was grilled pork chops, the last of the risotto with broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. I halved the sprouts, drizzled them with a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of maple syrup, and topped them with 3 slices of chopped up raw bacon. Roasted at 400* for 21 minutes. My husband loves them - and doesn't eat Brussels sprouts!! Who wouldn't love these -- maple and bacon!!
I made coconut-cranberry refrigerator cookies, slice and bake. This is my start to Christmas cookie baking.
We had pasta and sauce with sausage, peppers, onions. And rye-semolina rolls.
I made turkey soup from the Thanksgiving turkey carcass. I added a frozen veggie mix and egg noodles. It has snowed off and on all day, with winds gusting into the 30 mph range, so this was a perfect meal for us.
I made rhubarb muffins with chopped rhubarb from the garden that I froze early last summer.
