      I made Cauliflower Pasta Soup for several meals. Afterwards, I tried a new recipe for pizza dough. It was a problem. There were 2 major typos in the recipe that I didn't catch before I started. Fortunately, it wasn't my first pizza dough, so I was able to correct them. I don't know if I'll use this recipe again. May depend on finished pizza, which is one or two days away, since I put dough in refrigerator.

          Bloomberg has an article online today about KAF and its relationship with mills amid the flour shortage.

            Happy Birthday, Cass! Thanks for all you've taught me, both directly when you were posting, and via BakerAunt, who has passed along some of your knowledge.

                I'm going to make a pot of carrot soup today for lunch. I'll try to interest hubby to make grilled hot dogs for dinner.

                  I had a Cuban Spanish teacher, so I knew this.

                    Thanks, kimbob. I'm always happy to learn about online sources.

                      I guess I'll search online for information about them and check out their website. Thanks, Mike, for letting me know about the expiration.

                        If Cuisinart says you need a new machine, BakerAunt, ask for a discount to purchase directly. When a KitchenAid service call led to them suggesting a new stand mixer, they offered a good discount. Don't recall exactly what amount, but it was cheaper than the store.

                          After thinking about it all day, and eating too many chocolate chips this afternoon wishing they were cookies, I baked KAF Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. Second time. Recipe suggests letting them cool overnight before cutting. From the first time, I know this product's flavor needs that. Initially, I thought they sunk in the middle, but I just read the last instruction paragraph.

                          After removing from oven, I was supposed to press down the risen edges with a spatula to achieve a flat top. I didn't do that, so my edges are thicker than the middle. I'm going to cut these after lunch and flash freeze them serving pieces before putting them in bags. I want a go-to in the freezer when the urge for chocolate chip cookies arises. I used 2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup cinnamon chips and 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped.

                            Okay, I'm interested in 5 pound bags of flour at 15% off. Is Baker's Authority an online source? If it was mentioned before, I missed it. How to you receive the new offers -- email?

                              BakerAunt, do you know what the new material is that Cuisinart is using now?

                                That's interesting about the stem, BakerAunt. The stem from my older food processor works just fine in my newer one. That must be a change the manufacturer made after my newer machine was purchased. Don't recall the year, and back then, I didn't have the foresight to write the date of purchase on instruction manuals. Maybe, also, the fact that my new food processor is the exact model as the older one is the reason I can use wither stem.

                                The older machine worked just fine. The reason my husband replaced it was related to the plastic casing on the outside. I prepped many, many loaves of bread in the food processor, because I didn't have a stand mixer. As a result, the plastic casing cracked in two places. My husband thought it was dangerous, in case the plastic came apart while using the machine. He found some sort of special pricing deal for the 14-cup and bought it, because he knew it was the same model as the one that was cracked. I think cutting disks were included, and that was why my husband was so excited when he came home with it. But I also can't imagine a business giving away something so expensive, but it was a special deal.

                                  I wasn't referring to the cutting blade affected by the recall. Apparently, I don't know exactly what they're called. I'm talking about the round cutting disks . . . shredding disc, slicing disk, grating disc, etc. From Japan, that I know I paid for, I have 2 slicing discs of different widths, a grating disc, a shredding disk, and 1 other. From China, which I can't imagine I paid for, since the Japan discs work in the China food processor, I have all the original cutting disks minus one.
