      I had a lucky guess too. I thought of all those other pastries with exotic Spanish names.

          Our SOS was always made with dried beef as well. Stouffer's used to sell it and it was pretty good.

          Last night I made a cucumber salad with sliced shallots (I didn't have red onion) a yogurt dressing that I adapted from the recipe. We really liked it.

          I also made a new favorite -30 minute Butter Chicken Meatballs from Half Baked Harvest. We have made it several times since the start of sheltering in place and always have enough for a couple of meals. We had white rice with it because we haven't been able to get brown rice in two months.

            My Mom was giving me the Rewards Plus as a Christmas present, but I wanted to get it off her credit card (she's very forgetful now). I reupped on my own. Part of the reason I did it is that I like to be able to order in smaller quantities when I need them. The only things I can get locally when they have them in stock are the "signature" flours. So it works for me.

            I live in coastal Georgia far from any good sources. But, for me it's worth it, as is Thrive Market which is a newfound favorite for me. I read lots and lots of articles about whether it was worth the membership. The best review I read said that you had to decide for yourself if it was - basically if you are not near an urban area that has options like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, it could be a good choice. I've placed two orders and have been really happy with what I've gotten. Good quality, non-GMO products and for every membership they give one to someone in need.

              I got it - I'd been know to cut the pork away from the bone to get cutlets. That was before it was easy to find boneless ones. But we rarely if ever eat pork - Michael loved pork - the rest of us not so much

                I got it! I think of a skillet as having sloped sides so the measurement on the bottom is smaller. With its straight sides the sauté pan has the same surface as the measurement.

                  I guessed too but I was wrong. I figured it was all fat with very little protein

                    When I re-upped for Baker's Rewards, they sent me 2 $10 rewards, one expiring on the 1st, the other on the 2nd - I'll wait til the end of next week to see if they have any items I'm looking for back in stock, but I'm not holding my breath

                      Thank you Joan! How are you holding up in SW Georgia with all the crazy weather and spikes of virus in your neck of the woods? I'm just waiting for spikes within the next couple of weeks because everybody from everywhere has decided to come to the coast and congregate in groups with no masks. We're all just trying to stay out of the way.

                      Chocomouse - KAF is also out of Superblend 10 right now.

                        Happy Birthday, Sarah! Glad I came back in time to wish you one. I hope it's a great day. It's also great to hear from Cass.

                          Finally got one right! Probably helped living in Ireland which kept reminding me that a liter is larger than a quart.

                            I picked up my order from Harris Teeter this am and they did not get in the KAF AP (not surprised), but I had a $10 rewards to use before the 1st, so I went to KAF - I was able to order 4 of the 3 lb. bags - the only kind of flour they had. But, that should tide me over as I still have more than 5 lbs of bread flour and some WWW and Irish meal, but you can't make yeasted bread with that.

                            KAF is also out of Bakewell baking powder, but Thrive Market has some, so I'll probably try theirs.

                              DL said I was welcome to share with you. She has 2 grandchildren - a grandson from her son and granddaughter from daughter. She cares for them during the week. Because they are in Upstate New York, they are all being really, really careful. Her daughter's BIL got COVID in April and the last time we talked about it (early May) he had a fever and cough - he works in healthcare, naturally. I'm assuming he's better since she hasn't said anything.

                              She's still baking, and looks out for her elderly neighbor - outside and 6 feet away and the weather is getting good enough to start gardening up there.

                                I had no idea! Got that one wrong too.

                                  We’re just doing grilled cheese with some veges from the garden. We’ll be more adventurous tomorrow after I pick up my order from Harris Teeter. I placed it for a 9am pick-up tomorrow in case they were out of things today. I got a call telling me they’d filled my order and they were out of things and I asked to please double check in the morning to see if any of the items come in over night. I pointed out that that was why I ordered for tomorrow, not today. They will check - I’ll be interested to see if they get any KAF in tonight
