Baked a Cold Oven Pound cake with cream cheese tonight my sister's favorite so we'll cut it tomorrow.
Thanks for the info Bakeraunt always something to learn about...interesting.
Baked the little chocolate cake last night and frosted with buttercream icing,only one layer so it won't last long.My sister is coming to stay a few days with me and am looking forward to that.
Made a pot of Lima bean soup with left overs,was so good.We're just starting to get some cooler weather and it's so much better when it's cooler.In the mid 40's this morning.
BevM I've made this before and made it in 2-8" cake pans -didn't add raisins,nuts or chips and we loved it.It was very moist and kept well for several days.I iced it with my own cream cheese icing recipe,was a very good cake.
Baked a pie crust and made some chocolate pudding pie.
I like to soak my chicken strips which I've cut from boneless breasts in buttermilk for a couple hours also.I just use seasoned flour to coat chicken and fry in pan with like a inch of oil.I also like to add a dash of hot sauce and salt and pepper to buttermilk soak.
We had stewed beef-n-gravy on top of left over rice and lettuce and tomato salad stirred up with mayonnaise.
Dry lima beans,rice and tomatoes and sausage.
Sorry to hear you've been out of commission Rascais1 hope you're feeling better and are getting back to yourself.Wishing you the best.
Meatloaf,mashed potatoes and broccoli and cheese.
Thank you KIDPIZZA I'll give them a call.I had just bought the flour this week.

Had some fresh Oyster Stew tonight ,pricey but good!20.60 for a pint.We both had 2 bowls and sent one to my sis that lives by us.The oysters were real small like we like them for stew.Fish market man said they are having a hard time getting fish etc.because of storms.
Thanks Mike, the only thing different was the flour was bleached.
Baked 2 small loaves of Banana nut bread yesterday.Last night I made a loaf of KA sandwich bread but subbed a cup of wheat and it was so good.I think it's the best bread I've ever made.Rose up one and a half inch over my 9x5 pan and rose more in the oven.Very light crumb.I slipped it into a used bread bag after it cooled last night and I had to work to get it to fit.My husband only eats Natures Own Honey Wheat and that's what this tastes like.I had some this morning and was happy.My husband doesn't care for bread much that's why I give so much away.I just like doing it.Now let me tell you about my pie crusts I made today.Made them just like always but when I cut in the shortening it was just like a clump of lard,I use Crisco and it was fresh but it would not crumble up in pea size pieces.Finally added in a little more flour and divided up and wrapped to chill for an apple pie.Tried rolling out one crust had the biggest damn mess you ever saw.Trashed one crust then I remembered how BakerAunt rolls hers in between wax paper and Saran wrap and that's the way I finally got the crust in the pan.Pie is baked I made with Honey crisp apples and it looks OK,it broke in a few places when it baked but if it tastes ok that's all that matters.
