Will made a version of the Gruyere Bread that BakerAunt posted a while back. I wrote about it in the Cooking thread.

Thursday night I brought a crab cake home from work and it was delicious. However, about an hour later the right side of my face began to swell. I have never had an allergic reaction to shellfish, but my mother has her whole life. Anyway, Will went out and got benedryl and yesterday morning I headed over to Immediate care where they pumped me full of prednisone and gave me a note for 2 days off work. I was so fortunate it was a mild reaction.

Last night we had pesto pasta, grilled chicken tenders and grated carrot salad.

This afternoon Will made the Gruyere Bread from Epicurious that BakerAunt posted a while back. However, he used pepper jack cheese, pineapple chicken sausage and sautéed onions. It is really good, easy and adaptable. It would be great with soup in the winter. We had with leftover salad.

My idea of roughing it was always a cruising sailboat with a head and a galley.

Thanks for all your condolences.
This recipe was for frozen bagged vegetables such as Birdseye. I had bought a couple of large bags in March just in case we couldn’t get fresh ones. BakerAunt, I’m sure you could do it with the ones you froze - they’d probably be really good. Beans might need less time. I’d probably check at 10 minutes.

Sorry to hear about your laptop issues. I had to get a new one before I took my course in March - mine was too old to upgrade for the new software I needed.

Did anyone else get the letter from KAF explaining the process of the new logo? They must have gotten a lot of blow back from the change.

The countertops came and they weren’t what we had ordered🙄 so next week we’ll have the right ones. It will look great.

We had hot dogs and baked beans. Will added sautéed onions, hot sauce and bbq sauce to the beans. We like to bake ours - beans on bottom, then the hot dogs and then cheese. I also roasted the last of the frozen broccoli. Frozen veges taste better that way.

There are a few tricks to it though. Put a parchment lined baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450. Put broccoli (recipe says 1 pound, but we did 1 ½) or other frozen veg in bowl. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, and any other seasonings you want. Spread on baking sheet and bake 16-18 minutes. It will char a little. You don’t thaw the veg.

I missed too

I’m a little sad, but do know that times change and that they need to be aware of their customers. But that new logo is AWFUL!

Will made more tortillas yesterday and flavored them with Vermont cheese powder and smoked paprika. Tonight I grilled chicken tenders and then had quesadillas we heated on the grill in foil packets. Not much clean-up.

Counters are finally coming Wednesday - we had a couple of scheduling conflicts

I knew it but still answered wrong - it’s been one of those days

We get to require masks at the store, but our illustrious (?) governor has again decided to over rule the county governments so you still get people who try not to. If they won’t (or don’t have) put on a mask we ask them to step outside and then we’ll help them. A few really don’t like it. Most people are good about it though and many are appreciative. The county is currently reporting 1,834 cases

I knew this too

I don’t understand people who say they won’t eat or don’t like leftovers. That means no Thanksgiving Turkey sandwiches or next day spaghetti and meatballs - they’re always better the next day!

We dressed up leftover buffalo chicken (cuz there was so little left) with sheet pan sweet potatoes, cauliflower, onion, black beans and cheddar topped off with avocado and salsa. It was delicious and there is a little left for tomorrow.
