Thanks Mike ,I will try this.

Bakeraunt I figured I could try, if it didn't work that would be OK because they surely weren't rising.They turned out really good,rose slam out the top of the bowl.With all the extra yeast it had no effect to the taste of the sweet rolls.

Made a pot of Hamburger vegetable soup with fresh pimento cheese for sandwiches.Mike I've made mayonnaise when I worked at the local high school cafeteria but never made it at home.May give it a try.Will you post your recipe you use please?

My sister came to visit a few days with me and I did a lot of baking,cold oven pound cake,cherry pie,one layer chocolate cake and I made a batch of cinnamon rolls yesterday.Well I mixed them up and the dough would not rise,waited like one and a half hours sooo went to town for more yeast by the way had already added and extra teaspoon while waiting but I added 2 &1/4 tsp more mixed it back up with a little more flour to compensate for the added water kneaded it well again and they rose almost over the bowl.They turned out well so I was a happy camper.Shared with all my kin folks near me and they're already gone.As far as the Super Bowl it was fantastic.I'm a Ga. girl but pulled for the Patriots.What a game.

Wow that's a lot of flour.I only have White Lily self rising,KAF Unbleached A.P.,KAF Rye,KAF Bread,KAF wheat,and Swans Down Cake flour.This is it for me.

Made a big pot of Brunswick stew which I shared with 2 other families and shared the pound cake I baked also.I love to cook and bake and with just the two of us I have to share.My husband's taste for sweets has changed....yep...but not mine,he'll usually eat one or two slices of cake ,pie or whatever I've cooked then that's it for him.But I keep them pots and pans rattling :).

Happy Birthday to Bakeraunt.This week I baked a cold oven pound cake and a one layer chocolate cake ...all gone!

Once frozen when thawed they are tan not brown and you can literally squeeze them out the end of the skin.I throw them in the side tray of the door of freezer.

When I make Banana Bread I let my bananas get very ripe almost black and they make very good and moist bread.My recipe doesn't use mixer so I mash up if needed.If I ever have bananas going to waste I throw them in freezer in the skin-not peeled.When I want to make bread with them I let them thaw out tear the end open and all the goods just slide out.

[Joan Simpson]

Have had good results with the pan grease but...on my Banana Nut Bread it tends to stick???So as I did years ago before I knew about parchment I sometimes use wax paper in the bottoms just to be sure.I always liked The Bakers Joy but sometimes ran out.

Made Lemon Crinkle Cookies from Mennonite page as we like anything lemon and they were very good.Had lemon jello in them for flavor and color and when baked they puffed up high but you were to slam them down on the counter to make them fall.They were very bendy after cooling and I loved them.I got 24 big cookies but next time I'll probably go a little smaller.Besides corn bread that's all I baked.

[Joan Simpson]

New Years I cooked Black eyed peas,rice and fried chicken with some corn bread,just the two of us so not much cooking.I made a pot of hamburger vegetable soup with grilled cheese sandwich.We like Mexican food so we had Taco Salad one night.Simple here too.

[Joan Simpson]

Cooked small pot of Chili.Made a big bowl of Ambrosia and a big batch of Rice Krispie treats which I doctor up adding more butter and marshmallows.

[Joan Simpson]

Not much baking here.Bananaa nut bread and Lemon Chess pie.

[Joan Simpson]

BakerAunt the best thing I ever did was to start using aluminum foil oven liners.They are wonderful,goes across the whole bottom of oven,it goes under the heating element of my electric stove.I'd never be without these again.Saves me lots of cleanup.
