      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.

        Our dinner was shrimp alfredo on linguini, and a nice, big green salad.

          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.

              We had chicken thighs, brussels sprouts, and mashed potato for dinner.

                That's good news, Mike! My aerogarden needs a new bulb. But I haven't used it for a year or two, as I have 2 grow lights mounted on a baker's rack, which allows me to grow a much larger variety of foods. Now that Christmas is over at our house (yes, we have our gathering on Christmas Eve to allow our significant others to join other family members in celebrations) I'll start up indoor gardening again.

                  Christmas dinner guests are arriving within the hour. I'm ready, thanks to a lot of help from my husband. Spiral sliced ham, mashed potatoes, maple candied carrots, corn, broccoli salad (our daughter is bringing it), garlic knots, dinner rolls, assorted cookies (molasses, lemon-coconut, peanut butter-chocolate chip, cranberry-coconut, and buckeye bars). 13 guests plus a 4 week old. My granddaughter will most likely bring a boule of her sourdough bread. We open gifts after dinner and put out trays of the cookies to "graze" on. I'm wishing joyous cooking and eating for all of my baking friends tomorrow!

                    Those rolls sound really good, Skeptic. And I have sampled some of your baking, so I know they are tasty!

                    I made a dozen cinnamon buns today, which I will cover with a cream cheese frosting for dinner tomorrow night.

                      We had leftovers tonight - cleaning out the fridge to make room for the Christmas ham and sides. We'll have 14 for dinner Christmas Eve, including our 4 week old grand-daughter. It will be my first time to see her -- so excited!

                        I mixed the dough for Lemon Coconut White Chocolate Chip cookies. I'll scoop and either bake or freeze them tomorrow.

                          Dinner tonight was pan fried liver, onions, and potatoes, with a green salad.

                            Pizza last night - with sweet Italian sausage, onions, sweet red peppers, mushrooms, and black olives, plus cheddar and mozzarella.

                              We had ham, cheese, sweet red pepper, and onion omelets, with freshly made English muffins.

                                That's a good deal, Joan. My grocery store has had KAF all-purpose flour at 3.99 for 5 lbs for a couple of weeks now. But last week I bought 50 lbs of Sir Lancelot, the commercial size, at the KABC store for $37.46, which was 20% off, on sale. What breaks my budget is the 2 or 3 lb bags of Super 10 or Harvest Grains or Pumpernickel for $14.95. I've been making Christmas cookies and do not want to use the regenerative whole wheat that I recently bought in those, but am anxious to try it.

                                If anyone is interested in a road trip -- KAF usually has a 20% off "friends and family" sale with 20% off most everything (except appliances, gift cards, and a couple more things) shortly before Easter. We could all meet for lunch in the Cafe. Their sandwiches are superb - on their own bread, of course, and amply filled with turkey, cheese, lettuce, your choices of course.

                                  We had spaghetti and rye rolls from the freezer.
