      Joan, it's wonderful that your son and his wife made the trip. I'm glad you have assistance from friends and family. My prayers uplifted.

        This is concerning, Mike, but thanks for letting us know.

          I agree with you about the free shipping at Vermont Country Store, BakerAunt. I checked for shipping information on their website this morning. I thought they might have a breakdown by order cost, but they don't. They say to call or chat online to obtain shipping cost before placing order.

          Mike has a good point about the small funnel. The Vermont Country Store mini-funnels nest, so I keep them near the edge of a top cupboard shelf. The problem that arises is that if my husband empties the dishwasher, he doesn't remember where the mini-funnel goes. He'll put it in a drawer -- any drawer. I solved this problem by pulling out the mini-funnel from the clean dishes before he empties the dishwasher. This way, it never ends up in a drawer.

          BakerAunt, as I recall you have purchased from Tuesday Morning in the past. Perhaps you've read, as I have, that they're closing all their stores and going out of business. I wish this weren't so. My Tuesday Morning sold beautiful paper napkins with a variety of designs. I could always find some to complement the theme for church-related luncheons. Their napkins were so lovely that I never considered using linen napkins.

            Thanks to BakerAunt finding the recipe for me, I'm making a double batch of the peanut butter cookies today. One batch to freeze the scooped dough for future baking.

              Thanks, BakerAunt, for finding the recipe. It's such a keeper that I'm going to print 2 copies and keep it in two different binders. I appreciate your help!

                Joan & Mike, do either of you have the correct name for the Allrecipes peanut butter cookies that Joan introduced to us. I misplaced my copy. When I searched Allrecipes, there are so many different peanut butter cookies that I couldn't find it. I want to bake those peanut butter cookies, but need the full name.

                  Joan, when my husband's and my son was 18, I received a call from his doctor's office.

                  "Your son has kidney disease," the receptionist said.
                  "What does that mean?" I asked.
                  "That your son has kidney disease," she repeated.

                  We hung up. I had only a few seconds to process this bad news when the phone rang again. It was my mentor/professor from college. I relayed the previous conversation to him. He said not one word. We sat on the phone, neither of us saying anything. After 20 minutes, I knew I wasn't alone with the sad news.

                  "Thank you," I said, and we hung up without saying good-bye.

                  Joan, I'm sitting in silence with you, and I'm praying for comfort, strength, and peace for you.

                    Glad he's going to the doctor, Joan. I hope you receive better news than you're expecting.

                      Mike, I sure wish you'd send some of those peanut butter cookies to me. My husband used our peanut butter outside in some wild scheme to ward off gophers who destroyed the yard. Yes, the peanut butter is buried, but I think it'll attract racoons which are destructive to property. So I didn't have peanut butter until a Sam's run today. I also really like that cookie recipe, but in my small kitchen, making cookies is a stressful production, so I don't make them as often as I'd like.

                        I have also been praying for you and your husband, Joan.

                          Joan, the Lord brought to mind a Scripture that I hope will help you:
                          Philippians 4:13.

                            Joan, I have prayed for your husband's healing. I've also prayed for God to comfort and strengthen you during your crisis.

                              Mike, after years of Sam's not carrying pre-shredded mozzarella, I see they now offer low-fat shredded mozzarella. As I recall, you use their whole milk mozzarella. Sam's blurb touts the low-fat product as having good meltability for pizza. Do you think a low-fat cheese would work on pizza?

                                chocomouse, I thought of you today while I was baking. I made Giada DeLaurentis' Lemon Ricotta Biscuits for the second time. I think you'd like these lemony goodness delights. They're baked in a muffin tin. Link below: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/nonnas-lemon-ricotta-biscuits-recipe-1916098

                                I don't like almonds, so I used vanilla in the batter and coarsely chopped pecans for the topping. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and used lemon zest and juice. Next time, I'm going to delete those two things and use Lemon Juice Powder and a tablespoon water to replace the juice.

                                I used a 1/4 cup scoop. Before I bake these again, I'm going to buy a 1/2 cup scoop, because it'll save time. There's enough batter for the larger scoop.

                                  Aaron, a while back I bought a sub set from KABC. It came with 2 silicone pans and flour. I've spent a fair amount of time on their website and can't find it. I guess they discontinued it.

                                  I also looked at Wasserstrom.com for you. Here's a link to a high-priced Chicago Metallic sub pan that comes in a case of 6. . . and a more reasonably-priced silicone pan that looks similar to what KABC sold me . . . don't know if it's the same product. I have purchased from Wasserstrom a few times & been happy with product and delivery time, so I hope you have a good experience if buy from them.
