      Sarah - Happy Birthday to your son!

      I always think of Cindy around her birthday - April 22nd, but almost daily. She was so supportive of me when my Michael died and they were able to come visit me here while they were still able to go to the race track. I miss her, but her think she’s still giving me strength - I want share with her how far I’ve come.

      Dachshundlady still hangs out on the private Facebook group and spends lots of time with her family. I will give her your message.

          I got it wrong - I remember picking chestnuts off the ground with the boys when they were little, but It didn’t dawn on me that that’s why there would have been a couple of trees

            This week I ordered a gift card for my niece for my mom to mail her for her birthday/graduation. The order said it would be here on the 21st (2 day UPS AIR) on Thursday they said it would be here Friday - I had been following the tracking and it had arrived in Jacksonville an hour and a half South of me by 8:30 am. When I checked in the evening, it was in Atlanta! 5-6 hours northwest? Then it went to Columbus in the western part of the state and finally to Brunswick - our local hub. It did arrive early in the afternoon.

              Thank you chocomouse!

              Haven’t tried it yet, but I have to put in an order next. I can add it in. I’m always looking for healthy carbs.

                  Thanks, that was what I thought. I too have been reading about using less yeast in general and I must admit the recipe I made today could have been made with less yeast. It was the honey oat pan de pie from KAF and the recommendation was to scale that recipe up by 50% all ingredients except yeast to fit my larger pan de mie. I used 2 teaspoons and I think I could have used less.

                  I've also been following the Baking Steel blog and videos quite a bit and Andris (the owner) likes to do longer ferments with ¼ teaspoon yeast - Mrs Cindy had given me one of their baking steels when they first came out - we love it - we make pizza quite a bit. And, I made pita a couple of weeks ago. Need to try their naan - was disappointed in a naan recipe I tried. I also want to try their English muffins.

                    kimbob, thanks for posting that link. The email that I received that had it - the article didn't show up.

                    The last time I was physically in Harris Teeter which was March 30th, they had KAF on the shelves, but it was 7:30am and it wasn't going to last long. Since then, I've been using theirs and Sam's Club online ordering and curbside pickup - I quite enjoy it.

                    As soon as the governor (GA) lifted the shelter-in-place, I was waiting in the express lane and watched people stream into the store with no masks - masks were in the vast minority - it looked like Christmas Eve. The day before I had friends that were in the store and they only saw one family without.

                      Hi everyone! Long time since you've heard from me. I will do a general post where I also have a question from you all.
                      This week, I made my slightly modified version of KAF's Harvest Grains Bread and I just took out a loaf of KAF's Honey Oat Pan de Pie scaled up to the large pan - it looks beautiful. I had just gotten my bread machine around the last time I posted (a couple of years ago !?!) and it has helped me so much.

                      I have missed you all.

                          Yesterday I made our favorite chicken salad with grapes and celery. I substituted half the mayo with whole milk Greek yogurt - my current favorite is Fage. We really like it a lot better this way.

                            I remember my mom having one when I was younger. I think she may have used it once or twice. I sort of remember gray meat and then the fear of explosion is what I think made her abandon it.

                              Last night I made a quick falafel recipe from Fine Cooking using canned chickpeas, I added garlic and dried parsley because it had neither. They got sautéed and then briefly baked. The recipe worked well and it’s a definite keeper.

                                I made a simple Greek Salad I found on delish.com last summer. And, then I heated some chicken sausage on the stove.
                                We had driving rains all afternoon so it was nice to stay inside. I think it was the same storm that caused Joan to lose power, but thankfully we didn’t. And then the temperature dropped overnight to 50! That’s because I took my winter quilt off the bed yesterday ? but it will be back up to mid 60s today.

                                  Oh Joan, I'm so sorry - shingles are nasty and so close to your eye! Glad to hear you're on the mend.

                                  Since my mom had shingles for a second time last year I got the "old" shingles vaccine. My doctor has given me a prescription for the new one, but he told me to see if my insurance covers it yet and if not, to wait until it does.
