My process of elimination led to the correct answer.
I also guessed the correct answer.
Thanks, Mike, for the link. I see there's a tomato product in the meal. I didn't know that and didn't use any tomato addition.
I missed it, too.
I agree with you, BakerAunt, I'm also looking forward to comparing prices again. I also long for the days I can again find what I want in stores locally so I don't have to pay shipping costs. Bleach is scarce here. I happened onto a website with bleach one afternoon and paid almost $15.00 to have ONE bottle of Clorox bleach delivered!!! But Clorox wipes are out everywhere, and bleach with water makes a disinfectant.
I tried my hand at bell peppers with onions and sausage. What a project. I'll never do it again. I didn't have Italian sausage, so I used up some sausage links. I browned them and didn't drain the oil out of the pan. I decided the veggies would taste better in sausage grease. I cut the sausages into 1/2 inch pieces.
I tried slicing the onions in what Julie Child called the correct way. What a bother! I finally switched back to my tried and true wrong way. Having never made or seen this before, I sliced the green and red pepper as thinly as I could. Painstakingly thin. After I pulled the sausage out of the skillet, I added water to deglaze the pan then added olive oil.
After the onions were sauteed, I added the peppers, a little water, and a lid to steam. My husband, who has also never eaten this concoction, said the peppers need to be soft. So I overcooked them. They were so thin and soft it was difficult to get them on the fork. Would have been better off in a bowl with a spoon. I wasn't wild for the taste and will never do this again.
My grandmother's house had a cubby area in the wall at the middle of the stairs. She stored a 50 pound bag of flour there. Every time she wanted to bake, my dad had to carry the flour down to the kitchen for her. It was always in the bag. I don't know how she kept it sealed to protect it from bugs.
I agree with you, kimbob, that KAF cinnamon chip bread is delicious! I made blueberry muffins for breakfast and the freezer.
I had never heard of Loquats. Growing up, there was a boy at church who loved kumquats, so I was able to make a correct guess.
I made Beouf Bourignon (sp?) from Cook-Ahead Cookery for tomorrow's dinner -- serving with noodles. My husband made waffles for today's lunch, and I made grilled cheese for dinner.
Thanks for the photos, Mike. I don't think I'll use a cornstarch wash even if the recipe calls for it. There's a more rustic look to the bread with it, but I'll pass.
I knew this.
I'm making chicken & orzo soup for lunch. For dinner, Potatoes & eggs scrambled together & link sausage. So, an easy day for me.
When I broke a finger, Schwan's was a life saver. I could microwave and heat up food, but I couldn't slice, peel, and dice. We enjoyed all the food we bought. Like all frozen food, it was saltier than I'd like. But that was a long time ago, so they may have lowered the sodium. Back then, you had to call for a catalog or place an online order for the truck to come to the home. I don't know how they work now. When my finger healed, I canceled the service. The delivery man told me he couldn't cancel the service. Corporate policy at that time was that I had to call customer service to cancel. I'd use them again if I couldn't cook or just wanted a break from cooking. Around Christmas time (maybe Thanksgiving), they had delicious cheesecake bites. Don't know if they still do those.
I have to pass. I don't own a laptop or a computer with a camera. I've asked my sister twice to walk me through how to use the camera on my phone, but she's always busy helping grandchildren with school work. I can't imagine how people who work from home do that plus the massive school work. My sister has also sent me Facebook and You Tube links that I can't open. But I'll look forward to reports from the pizza party. I'm just too low tech.
