      KIDPIZZA, thanks for the tomato soup recipe link. I'll probably try it during the summer, when I can access fresh tomatoes. I had a cup of this week's tomato soup with a grilled cheese for lunch. Believe me, the recipe looks much tastier.

      luvpyrpom, I'm curious: Are you saying you canned your syrups? I don't can. I wonder if they can be frozen. The syrups would probably taste better with summer berries than the strawberries I used.

        From Martha Stewart's website, I just made "Creamy Tomato Soup." I ended up adding some sugar to offset the bitterness of the tomatoes, and I added more half 'n half hoping it would also help. Aaron, I considered baking soda, but I wasn't sure how much to use. I will serve this soup to a guest, but I don't like adding sugar to savory food.

          Aaron, my mother-in-law was an excellent cook of Mexican food. She always made her enchiladas with mole, and I wouldn't eat them. I never thought of making them with something else. I'm going to call around and see if anyone sells the Frontier Grill product. Thanks for the idea.

          Carnitas is a good idea, too. I like them, but had never thought of freezing them.

            RiversideLen, what a great idea -- berry sauce for ice cream! I'm going to buy ice cream and strawberries next time I go to grocery. I guess I should also buy yougurt so I have something healthful to eat with the sauce, too.

              KIDPIZZA, thanks for your suggestions. I will try two of them, but not the crab cakes. I don't know where to buy imitation crab or even the real thing.

              Mike, I would never have thought of making individual pot pies. I've never worked with puff pastry. Do you have to vent it like a top pie crust?

              I don't like mole, so I'll not make enchiladas, Aaron, but lasagna is a good idea.

              Thanks to all of you.

                This morning, I made Paula Deen's "Easy Rolls." Recipe at Food Network.

                  For the first time in my life, I made strawberry syrup to go on strawberry pancakes.

                      Thanks, Mike & BakerAunt for your comments. The toothbrush idea sounds good. I had thought of searching for pipe cleaners, but a toothbrush is easier to find. Problem is I went to the store to buy kids' Valentines Day cards yesterday and forgot to buy a toothbrush. I don't store any of them in the house. I buy them as I need them.

                        The "Yeast Dinner Muffins" (WSJ that Mike sent our way) has yeast without requiring a rise. They rose nicely and tasted good, except I'll use a little less sugar next time.

                          I made a pot of Broccoli Soup that will last a few days. I'm second guessing what to cook the rest of the week.

                            I broke my New Year's resolution last week by not baking anything new. I didn't bake anything old, either. Today, I baked a new recipe from Martha Stewart's website: "Cheddar Bread." It doesn't agree with my taste buds. But it makes a beautiful loaf of bread, and I think my husband will enjoy it.

                            I baked a yellow cake yesterday. Didn't frost it. Put it in slices in freezer. Both recipes used buttermilk, so I have a couple cups left. I may make another yellow cake and frost it this week.

                              I called the Cuisinart recall line today. I was told that there's a backorder. My blade will arrive "in a few weeks." I asked how long a few weeks is. I was told they don't know.

                              If anyone receives a blade, please post it here, if you have time.

                                I was told my new blade would arrive in 3-4 weeks. Today is 4 weeks and no blade in sight. Of course, it could still come today. I'm planning on calling them tomorrow.

                                  I'm glad y'all are baking and cooking this week. It's Thursday and I've neither cooked nor baked.
