I roasted 4 chicken quarters but didn't eat any of them. Tomorrow, I'll serve 2 of them with mashed potatoes & a frozen vegetable. I'd like gravy but may not have the energy to make it after cutting out and baking Angel Biscuits for the freezer after breakfast.
BakerAunt, like you, I have hinted to my husband that I want an Aerogarden. I even gave him their URL. So far, he hasn't taken the hint. I haven't pushed it, because I'm concerned the cord may be too short for my planned location for the garden. Mike, how long is the cord of yours?
I haven't had leaf lettuce since this pandemic began. I refuse to buy fruit and vegetables that other customers may have touched. I've only purchased items in bags or boxes. During the summer, I found plums and nectarines in bags, to my pleasant surprise. I'm really craving leaf lettuce and would like an Aerogarden for that. I've looked at their website but it leaves me with more questions than answers. I have no idea what to buy for the space we have. I thought my husband might fare better than I, so I hint and hint.
I baked KABC English Muffin Toasting Bread. I'll wrap it & make French Toast tomorrow & for the freezer.
Okay, so I'm a dough bucket convert. The problem is that I bought the KABC Extra Large Dough Bucket but will probably never use it. It's too many quarts for the way I bake bread. Their 2 quart bucket is too small for some of my loaves. I convinced myself that I need the 4 quart bucket, and KABC doesn't sell it.
I found one at the following link for Cambro. They don't call it a dough bucket. They call these buckets, "translucent rounds." The website has a service to find a supplier near you. I bought their 4 quarter translucent round, but they also have other sizes. CAUTION NOTE: The KABC blurb says theirs is BPA-free. Cambro says theirs are "NSF listed, with no mention of BPA. Even though I Googled, I don't really understand what NSF listed means. But since this is a company that makes products for restaurants, I took a chance on it. Mine says it's made in USA.
ANOTHER CAUTION NOTE: The lid isn't included. You have the buy the lid separately.
Mike, your Aerogarden looks fantastic! What a great Christmas present!
For the first time, I baked KABC's Classic Sandwich Bread. I had 2 slices with blackberry jam for dinner. There's milk in the bread, and milk has protein, so I had protein, starch, and fruit. Well-balanced meal in some universe.
Something happened during the baking that has never before happened to me. My finished loaf had 4 baked air bubbles on the top crust and one small divot, also on the top crust. Everything looked normal when sliced. What did I do wrong to make the air bubbles above the crust?
Thanks, BakerAunt, for the Eggnog Cake oil-based information. I'm going to copy and paste it to your recipe.
cwcdesign, I wish you a speedy and full recovery without range of motion problems.
Mike, I looked at the Aerogarden website trying to find this answer but didn't find it. Before Cbristmas, I saw online a hydroponic parsley grown in a jar. Is Aerogarden hydroponic or soil-based?
I made a buttermilk yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I sliced it and 3/4 of the cake went into the freezer.
BakerAunt, I had planned to make your Eggnog Cake today. Using homemade eggnog. My husband forgot the whole milk and half n half, so no eggnog. Recently, you posted you had made your oil version of this cake. The recipe I printed uses butter. How much oil do you substitute for the butter?
Bev M has a recipe for Canned Peach Cobbler on this site. I baked that today. I prefer making my dad's cobbler using frozen peaches, but this will work great for those times I don't have the frozen product.
You are right, cwdesign, they're called Command by 3M. Your post jogged my memory.
You've probably looked there for your ruler, BakerAunt, but my thought is that it slid down into the crack of the chair between the cushion and arm.
BakerAunt, my husband thinks he remembers that's the hook is advertised as a picture hook. He may be wrong -- we've had it for quite some time.
BakerAunt, you mentioned that you had lost your cracker-baking ruler. I mention what my husband did for my ruler, in case yours has a hole on the end -- when you find it. He bought a hook with a white background. He remembers it as being a 3M brand. It adheres to the wall, but it's advertised to be removed without damaging the wall. He can't remember whether he bought it at Walmart or a box store that has grocery and many different departments. He doesn't remember which department he bought it from. Neither of us remember the hook's name. Most of this isn't much help, but I wanted to let you know there is a product from keeping track of a ruler. If it has a hole on the end for hooking.

I think the hard part of making pasta is to figure out how to utilize the space needed for the project. It has been different for every kitchen we've had. I think you'll have fun with pasta. It's really not hard once the kitchen space is figured out. The taste and texture makes it all worthwhile.
My husband worked in a bakery when he was in high school. He said they made their cakes the day before they frosted them. Thanks, BakerAunt, for sharing this article with us. I want to also say I greatly enjoy the comics you share with us. It's nice to have a good laugh during this pandemic.
