      Google lists these foods as being among the highest in Vitamin K:

      kale, collards, turnip greens, swiss chard, salad greens, parsley, spinach

      I don't know how much you would need to eat of them to counteract the effects of blood thinners, though. People who are on blood thinners might want to consult their doctors or pharmacists for dietary restrictions.

        3/4 of them went into the freezer. (They freeze very well.)

          The ones at Lincoln Public Schools are not very sweet and fairly light on the cinnamon. The kids dunk them in the chili, of course.

            Aside from a cinnamon roll (or two), I'm not sure what we're having for supper. Diane had chili for lunch and plans to have it again tomorrow, so she won't want it tonight.

                The reference to the Miller and Paine cinnamon rolls was especially interesting, as we had figured out that Runza was no longer using that long time Lincoln favorite recipe.

                The public schools here use a different recipe, but they're making it in really large batches to feed thousands of kids on chili/roll days. Chili is one of their two most popular meal choices, the other is creamed turkey on mashed potatoes.

                Coincidentally, I'm making tangzhong cinnamon rolls today, as we discovered after I made the chili yesterday that we had finished off the last of the previous batch from the freezer. We bought some cinnamon rolls from the grocery store, but they're a big disappointment, too sweet to pair with the chili properly.

                  A lot of whole wheat recipes call for adding extra gluten.

                    I'm making a big pot of chili today, much of which will go in the freezer.

                      I actually prefer a lower gluten flour for pizza, but we prefer thin-crust pizza. The ones I was making on the grill this summer were pretty good, I may try that King Arthur recipe indoors over the winter, possibly in a cast iron skillet.

                        My former next door neighbor (he runs the Sysco office here) used to say that high gluten flour they sold was used mainly for pizza and bagels.

                          I made over 60 small molded chocolates today, the plan is to put them in an Advent calendar for our granddaughter.

                          I also made 40 chocolate batons for making chocolate croissants (Jimmy Griffin calls them chocolatines). They're similar in size to the larger ones that Callabaut sells, about 4 inches long.

                            Hadn't heard of toasted powdered milk before this. I can see how caramelizing the sugar in powdered milk might have an impact on flavor.

                              The Washington Post has a story today on Julie Powell and how she was one of the persons who revolutionized food writing.

                              Nearly all food bloggers, including me, are in many ways following in her footsteps, though preferably without the f-bombs.

                              Although the cause of death was listed as cardiac failure, she appears to have been a long Covid casualty.

                              Here's a link to the story:

                                In other words, we're all at the mercy of the seed companies to make sure their seeds are what they say they are.

                                  But did they cross-pollinate?
