Tonight I cooked a chicken breast for myself and a pork chop for my husband. With it we had a roasted mix of the last buttercup squash, a sweet potato, and a white potato, with candied carrots from the freezer that were leftover from Christmas dinner.
Tonight I made beef stroganoff, with asparagus and a green salad.
Leftover lasagna with salad.
Leftover ham and split pea soup, with dinner rolls from the freezer.
I just put a raspberry-cinnamon swirl coffeecake into the oven. For Christmas, I gave my husband a canning jar full (52+) slips of paper, each labeled with a baked "sweet treat". He is to pick one slip each week all year, so he picked the first time last night (we had to eat up all the holiday sweets plus his birthday cake first). What do you suppose he drew? Maple Walnut ice cream! At that time, the outdoor temperature was -5, and this morning it was -9. We agreed - put the slip back and draw another for this week. Thus, the coffee cake. Much more appropriate this time of year.
I got salmon on sale this week for 6.99/lb. I do splurge, though, we have it about every other week.
Our dinner tonight was lasagna with a green salad. Last night we had split pea soup, made from the Christmas ham bone, and garlic knots. I'm going to fill the freezer with winter meals of all the leftovers! Today we had our 3rd ice storm in 2 weeks, and temps are predicted to be 10 below 0 tomorrow night.
Joan, I'm so sorry you have Covid again! Good to know you don't feel as bad as before. Take care of yourself.
We had omelets and muffins for dinner tonight.
Today I made a chocolate layer cake for my husband's 78th birthday. I spread raspberry jam (made from the raspberries he cultivates and freezes every summer) between the layers, and made a buttercream frosting. It's the first time I 've made a birthday cake in quite a few years.
Mike, if we had your leftovers, my husband would be happy to eat that pie right out of the pie plate, and I would finish off the cream cheese frosting with a spoon!
For dinner tonight I made a new recipe posted by the Cozy Cook, a Ground Beef and Broccoli which I served on orzo. It was OK, not very flavorful, I would increase the ginger and garlic.
BakerAunt -- I'm laughing!! You don't know how to spell it, and you probably don't know how to pronounce it! I live about 2 miles from that river, and even people who live around here don't know either. I think it is 'Ompompanoosuc' River. The beginning Om- is usually omitted, and most of us just call it the Pompy.
Our dinner was grilled salmon, risotto with broccoli, and buttercup squash.
January 1, 2022 at 3:28 pm in reply to: Is King Arthur thinking of having some kind of member forum again? #32673I said yes, but . . .  I don't trust them, and I'm still angry they took our recipes away from us.
Right now, they are having a 60% off sale on some items. They don't say whether it is an on-line or in-store sale. As far as I remember, they ALWAYS state those sales are on-line orders only. So I emailed them to ask. I got an evasive response, that did not answer my question. So, I emailed back, asking them to please answer my question. They did. I responded suggesting they should clarify that information in their advertising, as they always have in the past. It is very misleading. In my opinion, King Arthur is no longer King.

Just now, I've been watching a possum on my deck (its 12:30 p.m.), eating the birdseeds that have fallen to the floor. We see it most every night on the Ring camera, but lately it's been out in the daytime, eating apple scraps that the turkeys took down from the apple trees. We leave the possums alone -- they eat ticks!
