I'm going to make a western frittata in a couple of hours. Eggs, potatoes, ham, green peppers & red peppers with a little salsa mixed in with the eggs, garnished with the last of the parsley. It's going to be dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow.

Thanks, Mike, for sharing this link. I've been looking for something besides popcorn to snack on at night, and this may be it. Currently out of cheese, but will put it on the shopping list for this recipe.

I made Snickerdoodle Bread. Found the recipe on Tasteofhome.com, but when I looked for it now to give a link, I can't find the recipe. It uses cinnamon chips and cinnamon. I've always baked bread in a lightly greased non-stick pan. This recipe stuck to the pan. It needs to go into a liberally greased pan. It's cooling, but because it stuck to the bottom of the pan, I've tasted it. As a cinnamon fan, I'm going to enjoy this bread. It definitely offers the lingering warmth of cinnamon.

Because of Food Network, I knew this.

After I started a pot of beef broth, I made Bouef Bourignon (sp?). The former is for the freezer. The latter is for tomorrow's dinner.

My husband is a big mango fan, so I knew this.

I knew this. Thanks, Mike, for th info on black garlic.

For breakfast, I make KAF Easy Holiday Eggnog Muffins using the eggnog I made a couple of days ago. They're delicious.

Joan, I hope you don't catch the illness.

Yesterday, I make Martha Stewart's Eggnog. I learned a strainer lesson. I used an old strainer for the liquid. I used a spatula to swirl the last of the eggnog. I ended up with tiny particles of egg in the nog. What this recipe needs is a modern fine mesh strainer, or one layer of cheese cloth lining an older strainer.

Day before, I made KAF English Muffin Toasting Bread. I used that today to make KAF French Toast, using my eggnog as the cream. I didn't use the sugar; there's sugar in the eggnog. I also didn't use the alcohol. Or, the butter for the skillet. I used light olive oil to coat the skillet. This made delicious french toast. With 3 eggs also in the batter, I've relegated this to special occasions. I ended up with 9 - 5/8" slices with the batter.

I had no idea, so I missed it.

I'm putting together New Year's Eve day breakfast. I made KAF English Muffin Toasting Bread. I didn't line the pan with cornmeal, because I don't like the mess when cornmeal or farina falls off onto the board. Tomorrow, I'll make Martha Stewart's Eggnog. Tuesday, I'll slice the Toasting Bread 5/8" thick and use the eggnog to make KAF French Toast. Unfortunately, I didn't think about the fact that my oven heats hot. I baked the bread for the minimum amount of time in the recipe. It's supposed to be golden brown. I ended up with brown. My husband says it looks like, "an old loaf of bread." That amuses me, because he's right. I hope it doesn't crumble when cut.

Missed it. I never buy the winner.

I don't drink coffee. I've seen food show hosts add espresso powder, espresso, or strong coffee to chocolate cakes. They claim that makes the chocolate more pronounced. I've never had a desire to make any of those recipes. My concern is that the coffee would add too much additional caffeine. I think chocolate has caffeine, and that's all I want.
