        Glad to know the picaridin works so well BA - I'll have to get some. Will went into the brush yesterday morning and found one on the way out. We double checked him when he got home and we didn't find any more

          Happy Easter. We didn't do anything Easter-y today. I'm still in recovery mode and not eating much. Will made me rice, fresh green beans in chicken bone broth which he flavored nicely with a roux. It tasted really good and Will was proud of me for eating it all. Then we split a brownie from the freezer with. Small scoop of Irish crème chocolate coffee icecream

            Thank you BA, kimbob and Joan for the birthday and well wishes for the surgery. Kimbob, I did not want to get a recliner just for the surgery, and my doctor said I could just pile up pillows at a 45 degree angle in my bed. I found a large wedge pillow at the company store on sale which will be great for my main support. I have one advantage from being really sick with asthma when I was a kid - I've had to sleep upright a lot so it's not as much of an issue as it is for some people.

            I do love a cold meatloaf sandwich too with mayo AND ketchup😊

              I had some of the tuna and white bean salad I made on Tuesday. I have just enough of my lunch at work tomorrow.

              Today is my birthday and I received lots of birthday wishes at work. Will will be here on Tuesday for two weeks to help while I recuperate from my reverse shoulder arthroplasty next Thursday (long hand for shoulder replacement surgery). He's looking forward to being back in my kitchen and he'll make a joint birthday cake as his birthday is April 11th. I won't be cooking for a while

                Hey Mike - it's only the 22nd today😊 and the 27th is Friday (the day after my birthday) - I have no idea what I'm making then.

                Today, I made Len's Whole Wheat Rye Semolina Breadwith BA's variation of buttermilk and then I subbed maple syrup for the honey and used White Whole wheat. I followed BA's instructions for shaping and proofed it enough. Theyvrose in the oven and look great - will slice tomorrow

                      I finally finished making the falafel tonight. Yesterday morning I made the "dough" and got home too late to make them. So this morning, I scooped and put them on the baking sheet and into the fridge. Tonight I baked them and made quick tzatziki and had them over arugula. I like the flavor, but I think the baking time was a little too long as I thought they were dry.

                        I had planned to make falafel tonight, but I didn't leave work until 6. I wasn't sure what I had and then I remembered that I had bought some deli corned beef (boar's head) and some KerryGold cheddar on sale just because I might want some this week. I made a corned beef and cheddar sandwich with arugula, mayo and Dijon on toasted English muffin toasting bread. It was perfect.

                          BA & Len - a question - if I used BA's doubled recipe do you think I could bake it in the Emile Henry Long Baker?

                            I had cheese toast on English muffin bread. I took something out of the freezer, but it hadn't thawed in time. I was busy making curried chicken salad for our church's annual house tour (they serve tea in the parish hall)

                                I cooked two artichokes tonight that were on sale at Harris Teeter - one for tonight and one for tomorrow. They are nice and tender. I made Cheater's Aioli from Cookie & Kate that I had saved a while back - I didn't use as much garlic as she said, but it had just a nice flavor, not overwhelming

                                  Isn't Fast rise different from instant yeast?
