I made corn chowder for dinner. We are getting our first snowstorm of the season! So far, we have about 4 inches with up to 8 predicted. I think it's time I had my studded snow tires put on my Jeep.
Aaron, I'm also no longer a big fan of KABC, for lots of reasons. I have no need to join Baker's Rewards (the paying version) as I live just 10 miles from the store, so free shipping would be a ridiculous option, a complete waste of earth's resources and ruin to the environment. When they advertise a sale, it only applies to shipped items; the sale does NOT apply to items in the store. However, I am a Baker's Reward member, the free version. Twice a year, December and May (?) they have a 20% off day for Reward members, and I do take advantage of that, although yesterday I spent only $74 plus 34.95 for the 50 lb of Sir Galahad. This was the first time I've been able to buy it on sale - they've said in the past that since it is wholesale, it never goes on sale, but yesterday they said it was included in the sale. Most of the products KABC sells are available cheaper elsewhere. I do buy pumpernickel, First Clear, lemon juice powder regularly, and yesterday I splurged on Harvest Grains - expensive but I love it. And today I regret not buying a bag of the Super 10 Blend, which I also love and I'm almost out.
Baker Aunt, I buy 2 lb bags of yeast at BJs, which is less than half the price of KABC yeast. Do you have a Costco or Sam's near you?
I bought A 50 lb bag of Sir Galahad (AP) flour at KABC this morning -- $34.95!!! Wow! I get a bag twice a year, late spring and fall, so I have not bought it since last May-June. (I also supplement it with the seasonal 5 lbs on sale 2 for 5.00 at the grocery store) I don't recall the price at that time, but it usually run around $28-29, wholesale, so it varies. That is a huge jump!
Smoked Gouda puts a lot of Joy in my life!! My favorite by far. I'm sorry for your loss.

I made molasses ginger cookies for the Christmas Eve cookie tray, and a double batch of savory Chex Mix for gifts.
Not quite, but today is cookie dough day at my house! I'll mix up several doughs for the freezer to be baked off next week. Some I will shape into a cylinder for slice and bake cookies, and others I'll use a cookie scoop. I focus on taste, not looks -- I am not the fancy decorator type! What kind of cookies do you make?
I made a rum cake, an annual tradition for one of my husband's organizations. The first cake didn't come out right, so I made a 2nd cake yesterday. This one looked beautiful, and then on his way out the door, my husband dropped it, in the old Tupperware cake carrier, on the floor in the mudroom. Naturally, the cover came off, and the floor was dirty (this is where the boots come off and jacket are hung up, etc). We sliced off the top half inch, since of course it landed upside down, and that removed all the dirt coating. He put it back in the cake carrier, and off he went. It was delicious, everyone loved it, and now we have the entire first cake plus 3 small pieces of the second one!
I made turkey soup, with a thick, creamy base, similar to the insides of a chicken pot pie. I sauteed celery and onion, and added Penzey's Sunny Paris, frozen mixed vegetables and Dutch noodles. With it we'll have onion-wild rice rolls. We'll have leftovers for a couple of meals, and I still have about 2 quarts of turkey stock left.
We had leftovers -- seafood casserole on rice.
I made 2 loaves of oatmeal buttermilk sandwich bread.
We had cheesesteak on a bun.
No thinking needed here! We're having leftover beef stroganoff and green salad.
I made a seafood casserole, served on rice, with a Greek salad.
We used to have a den of fox every spring in our field, but lately we've seen only a stray fox passing through. Back in those days, we had a young cocker spaniel and would often see her playing with 4-5 kits in the orchard. Sometimes she chased them, and sometimes they were chasing her. Once in a while, the vixen would join in - that bothered me!
