Riverside Len I don't know as I cook mine either in the oven,microwave or boil.

Tonight I made potato soup,fried 3 pieces of bacon crisp removed and chopped up put back in pot with celery,onions and carrots chopped fine,had no chicken stock so I added water and 3 chicken bouillon cubes,cooked that till done then added 3 cubed potatoes till done and added cornstarch to thicken up and a splash of milk was so good.

Baker Aunt,Riverside Len I agree with you there's stories to tell of cooking mistakes or accidents.

Sunday morning I was making pancakes and boy did I screw them up!I was in a hurry got flour.salt,sugar,oil,egg,buttermilk and was suppose to use baking soda but I grabbed cornstarch.mixed them up and after they cooked they were thin as a quarter pale in color and almost rubbery.Took me awhile to figure out what I did,trash can was happy lol!

Tonight I made pork tenderloin ,mashed potatoes and cooked carrots.

The recipe I make is from King Arthur Shortbread I put the vanilla in it but not almond or other flavorings.

[Joan Simpson]

Just the two of us this year and I baked ham,made turnips with roots and mustard greens cooked together with pork neck bone,corn bread and onions soaked in vinegar for the greens.That was it,so good and we had Edwards lemon pie the closest one to my mom's.It's overcast and sprinkling here.

Chocomouse sure hope you heal up from surgery and sending prayers.

Our son lives in Texas and hasn't been home in about 2 years,sure miss him and the grandchildren and if they had come I'd really been rattling them pots and pans.
May you all have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

For supper tonight I used roasted chicken from freezer to make Chicken pot pie with cream of chicken soup,sour cream a little milk ,stirred in garden peas and carrots and topped with some bread crumbs.

[Joan Simpson]

Easy supper tonight,cube steak and gravy with mashed potatoes and garden peas.

I tried something new today.I made cinnamon rolls but instead of just brown sugar,butter and cinnamon I added some strawberry preserves,they turned out really good.It was a little messy and I thought I had added too much but after they baked it was fine.I had some lemon glaze in the fridge so I added that to some cream cheese icing I had and it was great,a little lemony but not overpowering.I gave half to my sister that lives next door.I've been adding left over mashed potatoes to my cinnamon rolls and it really makes them so good and so tender,you can see some black pepper in them but it doesn't affect taste,and I'm the only one that sees that my sister said she didn't notice.
