Joan, I'm sorry to hear about your friend - sending healing prayers.
Also Joan, if you think we're cold, you really don't want to fly to Chicago to have pie with Len right now - it's way cooler there ☃️
We had the Italian Wedding soup tonight and it was really good. Will came home with a cold so I'm glad I had chicken soup for him. I had two minor issues - one I didn't dice my carrots and celery enough - they were supposed to be ¼ inch and mine were bigger so they took longer to cook down. The other is that the recipe called for tiny pasta, tubitini or stars and the smallest I could find was ditalini which cooked up bigger than I'd like - both are easy fixes and we have plenty of soup, might even need to freeze some.
The temperature is supposed to be 34 (feeling like 26) by the time I get up in the morning - it was high 60's today. The cold weather is supposed to be here pretty much through next week. And, Will comes home tomorrow, so yesterday I made stock from the rotisserie chicken I bought last week and a batch of steel cut oats for breakfasts. Today, I prepped meatballs and vegetables for Ina's Italian Wedding Soup that I'll put together tomorrow afternoon after we get home - I'm picking him up at the airport and then we're going to Trader Joe's which we always try to do when we're in Jacksonville.
I took a PTO day for tomorrow and I'm glad I did as I didn't realize how exhausted I was from the last two weeks until I stopped.
Happy Boxing Day everyone! We had a quiet couple of days and went to friends' house for brunch on Christmas - very nice. Leftover charcuterie for dinner last night and then again tonight with tomato soup. That was great after a busy day at work.

We will be able to nosh on this for a couple of days. My manager joined us tonight - Will had picked up her dog from doggy day care as it closed earlier than we did, but we were able to leave shortly after 5.
We've been invited to brunch tomorrow morning which will be nice.
Merry Christmas to All!

The picture of the Meyer Lemon cake I meant to send

You must be logged in to view attached files.I made my Meyer lemon bundt cake tonight after work. Well, I put it together and baked it tonight. Last night I zested the lemon and combined it with the sugar; then I squeezed the lemon juice and put it in the fridge. This morning I set out all the ingredients I needed for the cake, so when I got home I was ready. It came out beautifully! I will take a picture in the morning before I wrap it.
Sorry to hear bout your freezer Mike. I too hope it's an easy repair. We went through our fridge and freezer after the power outage with the hurricane - we also had stuff that should have been tossed out before. A hazard of freezers
I'm going to make the Crystalized Meyer Lemon Bundt Cake from Claire Saffitz this week for our garden club bake sale on Saturday. I plan to organize all the ingredients ahead of time and bake it on Thursday night for drop off on Friday morning. I got 4 large Meyer lemons from a friend and then my neighbor dropped off a bunch yesterday.
Last year I had made two rum cakes, one gluten-free, but there were so many others I decided to do something different.
Enjoy your vacation BA!
That's a bummer. Obviously I didn't read the recipe. By the title I just assumed it had no butter, like an olive oil cake, duh. I mean, that's why you look for olive oil baked good recipesThe chili had a nice flavor but we both agreed it wasn't worth the effort to make it again. I'm glad I finally tried it - I threw the recipe away 😂
I'm trying a new recipe for Chicken Chili that I ripped out of a Martha Stewart Magazine at least 10 years ago or more (I haven't bought an issue since). I will let you know how it turns out. And I'm making cornbread to go with it.
Bakeraunt - did you see the KABC email about cookies? They have a recipe for Olive Oil-Orange Sugar Cookies and I thought of you
