I baked KABC Blitz Bread Focaccia today to go with homemade soup. Most of it went into the freezer.
Cass, I haven't forgotten the Portuguese Bread. I looked over your suggestions just yesterday. I think we're going to have this with the Portuguese olive oil as a Christmas Eve treat. Just in case I flub this new recipe, I hope to make Italian bread on Saturday to freeze. If the Portuguese Bread flubs, I'll pull the Italian bread out of the freezer, and we'll have the olive oil on Christmas Day with Italian bread.
It is shocking and concerning to see how some prices have increased. I'm also concerned about the jump in delivery costs. I signed up for KA Baker's Reward+ today in hopes of reducing shipping costs. I'm unsure I buy from KA often enough to breakeven on this, but I'm going to give it a try.

I like Sam's Jarlsberg cheese in place of Swiss. I don't know whether Jarlsberg is a form of Swiss cheese, but they taste similar to me.

It's likely that in haste, a customer had looked at the spinach, then put the package in the wrong place. Expecting it to be broccoli, because you were in the right place, you may have picked it up without looking at the package closely.
cwc, thanks for sharing this hilarious article with us. Great timing!
I'll try the vinegar cleaning before I resort to the steam-clean feature.
In my case, the self-cleaning feature has been a boon for the appliance store. In my previous oven, I calendared to run the self-clean cycle every 4 months. Around Year 5, the oven temps went haywire. I tried adjusting them based on instructions in the owners' manual to no avail.
The range I have now, a GE Profile, doesn't have a self-clean feature. It has a steam-clean cycle. According to the instruction booklet, the steam runs for 30 minutes, then the owner has to clean the oven. Does anyone know whether the steam-clean feature will cause the oven to bite the dust?
Mike, as I recall, America's Test Kitchen or Cook's Country made those noodles. You can probably find their recipe on You Tube . . . or their website, of course.
So glad, chocomouse, you were able to save the day and salvage the cake!
Len, your buns look great!
I made a batch of the Allrecipes.com "Best, Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies." It calls for a 1/4 cup scoop. I portioned out the cookies onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet and froze them for 90 minutes. Then I placed the dough balls in freezer bags and froze. Either next week, or mid-January, I'll bake them and give them to a service company with Double Chocolate Brownies, a favorite of the technician who takes care of my house. I baked 3 to taste-test. Because I'm giving the cookies away, I used real brown sugar instead of Splenda brown sugar blend. I think they're better with the Splenda blend. But no one will complain when they eat them -- yummy.
Mike's comment about it being too early for dinner plans reminded me of my grandmother. No matter the day, she started planning lunch and dinner as soon as the breakfast dishes were washed. Maybe she did this, because she worked a night shift at the hospital.
I was on the Lehman's website this evening, looking at their New items. They now have lids for regular and wide-mouth jars. lehmans.com Lids listed as USA-made. I don't can, so I can't compare the price. https://www.lehmans.com/category/new#/perpage:500
I don't think I'd feel comfortable with a neighbor feeding fox. There's a fox den behind a neighbor's backyard. It's fun to sit out in the early morning and see a fox scramble across the backyard into the next yard. I worry about the neighbor's small dog, but I don't really know if a fox would bother with it.
Wow, Joan, what a fantastic price. After months and months of not finding Gold Medal Unbleached AP flour during this pandemic, it has returned. My husband found 4 unbleached 5 lb. bags at each of two stores. I only have room for 2, so he didn't buy more. I'm happy, because now I can use another of Cass' suggestions for the Portuguese bread. He said to use half KAF AP and half Gold Medal AP.
My pet peeve is that so few people are wearing masks. I just don't understand this widespread disregard for the health of other people. After I received the vaccine in October, I thought my life would return to normal. My first shopping trip out proved me wrong -- too few people wearing masks.
