      Chocomouse, is your recipe for the olive Gruyère rolls posted? I searched here and looked at KABC but couldn’t find one. I know you’ve mentioned them before. Would you mind sharing?

        Aaron - I couldn’t remember if it was buttercream or cream cheese 🤣 Will said it was CC - I think it would work either way

          Claire Saffitz has an amazing brown butter cream cheese frosting that she uses on her carrot cake.

            I did bake Chocolate Eclipse yesterday. We have plenty of leftovers. It was one of the best I’ve made in a long time.

              What is driving me nuts is all these people who say they are getting an extra hour of daylight. NO they are not - the amount of sunlight is exactly the same. It is just that it is more at the end of the day than the beginning because of an artificial clock.

              Also, these same people would be mighty upset when the sun rises at 8:30 in the middle of January because we stayed on DST.

              When I worked for the magazine, our sales manager from the West Coast did morning change his watch when he came East for meetings. He found it easier to adjust if he got up 3 hours early for meetings - it is all just perception.

                I'm making an Eclipse Cake for dessert tonight. Will is making pizza and we're having friends for dinner. So I won't be baking pie today or tomorrow.

                    I made a recipe for a French lentil salad from Barefoot Contessa. She used kielbasa which she just sliced without warming up to the warm lentils. I used Portuguese chorizo the I sliced and warmed in a pan. We really enjoyed it. Her accompaniment was toasted baguette with herb goat cheese. Ours was toasted sourdough with Brie (it was on sale)

                      BakerAunt, I keep a bookmark to the King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart. It lists a lot of ingredients that I'm often curious about regarding weight and cups, etc. It lists the cups (sometimes ¼ or ½ cups but all you have to do is double) ounces and grams. I find it helps me with my visuals.

                      For example it lists ½ a cup of olive oil so if I need say 1/3, I'll double the grams then divide by 3. It works for me.

                        Italiancook, if you’re looking for something different to do with the cherry tomatoes, they’re great either sautéed or roasted, sometimes called burst tomatoes.

                        Burgers, oven fried sweet potatoes and salad both last night and tonight.

                          I’m making tomato soup from the Barefoot Contessa to go with grilled cheese on freshly baked sourdough

                            Asparagus was on sale so I got some to make a penne pasta with Alfredo sauce and Tuscan chicken sausage. I added a little Brie to the sauce. We both enjoyed it and have dinner for tomorrow

                              last night we had leftover homemade pizza. Tonight I made a chef's salad with homemade thousand island dressing. the salads greens are a mix of leftover spinach, Bibb and cilantro that I'm adding a small head of romaine to. Mix ins are turkey, ham and Swiss from the deli, cucumbers, carrots, tomato and hearts of palm (those were on sale).

                                Yesterday, I made a slow cooker carrot & chickpea tagging. It was a little bland, but Will doctored up the leftovers so we will eat some and freeze some. Last night we had it with couscous and sautéed baby boy choi. Not sure what I'll have for my greens with it tonight.

                                Tomorrow Will will make pizza (he has a friend visiting for a couple of days) with his sourdough crust and homemade pizza sauce made with tomatoes frozen from the garden last summer. He likes to make several smaller ones with different toppings - a cheese, BBQ chicken and vegetarian.

                                Happy Birthday to your husband, Joan!

                                  The ramen was really good, BA. I like to use the brown rice and millet ramen noodles from Lotus. You can order a big bag from Amazon. It’s a better deal than Thrive Market. I always try to find other resources before I order from Amazon, but sometimes . . .

                                  Will made roasted potatoes and broccoli with homemade quest sauce, only this time it was cheddar with a little bit of havarti and no peppers. It was really good and we have leftovers.
