Thanks. The first time I've baked in a long time was Christmas when I made just a few cookies for my husband and me. Haven't been feeling like doing much of anything since I'm always going to the nursing home to feed mom lunch, taking the dog to the park twice a day and in the yard, and taking care of my husband. I haven't had the time nor inclination to bake and I used to bake bread and make yogurt weekly! Maybe I'm getting my MOJO back. 😊 I bought a couple old local church cookbooks at the antique emporium and made 2 recipes from them which are really good. One is for cinnamon chip scones and the other is crab quiche. I'll post them when I get a chance. I love reading cookbooks especially ones from various organizations. I have to catch up reading the forums here -- its been a while since I logged in.
Just getting back into baking bread again. Last 2 weeks been making golden egg bread which is great for French toast especially when using eggnog.
Corn kernel sprouting. Google it.
My friend gave me yellow string beans and they were so tender and delicious. Had baked salmon and cottage cheese that needed to be used up along with the beans.
I used to do that, as well. Haven't been blueberry picking for several years because I don't have the time. I miss having bags and bags of frozen blueberries. I buy them at the farm stand and freeze some.
Incubating yogurt this morning.
Thank you so much, BakerAunt and Cass! I love knowing the problems. Shame on nordicware! I definitely will not use that recipe again. I hate when recipes fail after all the work and ingredients wasted. I'll just keep using my pound cake recipe.
Thanks again for the effort into the explanation.
Thanks, Mike. I don't like tea at all but will on occasion (when I have a sore throat or a cold) drink herbal tea. I used tangerine orange zinger. I ended up adapting my buttermilk bundt cake recipe with vanilla and almond extracts. Just baked 2 batches and they are good! I only filled the molds half instead of 3/4 because I used baking powder and soda. Going to put a clear glaze on. I'm happy now. Thanks for your suggestion. I just went a totally different way with the ingredients.
Joan, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. It's never easy to lose a loved one. You did so much for her. Remember the good times.
We had pork loin, green beans, potato salad for me, coleslaw for my husband.
Yesterday I made a batch of blondies in a brownie pampered chef pan that has 12 square little individual pans. My recipe filled 11 of them. My great niece's and nephew's school has fund raising events and that's where I got the pan. All I had to do was adjust the baking time and lower the temp to 325. They came out fine. I haven't been baking at all. The only thing I do is make yogurt weekly.
No, I'm close to the Rhinebeck sheep and wool fest in NY which is in October.
I'll find you! 😊 I head up the hill first thing as the bldgs are so crowded.
Chocomouse, I'll have to stop by Ellen's booth at the Rhinebeck sheep and wool. I see her listed in the 2021 festival program. I go every year and luckily it's 15 minutes from my house.
That sounds delicious, chocomouse! A quiche is in our future. 😊
