      My wife got two hydroponic tomatoes from the hydroponics lab at work, so we're having tuna melts tonight.

        Thanks, I think I'm getting the hang of transferring it from the peel to the baking steel without it getting a weird non-round shape to it. It was tasty: my homemade marinara, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, yellow sweet peppers, green olives, pepperoni, mozzarella, cream cheese and romano cheese. We cut it into 6 pieces, one piece per meal, so this will do 3 meals for each of us.

          The apple pie filling recipe I learned at SFBI has you cook the apples until they bend a bit, I've used that filling in pies, galettes, turnovers, apple tarts and Irish apple cake, it works well for all of those.

          I also took some of my Winesap apples a couple of years ago, cut the apples up a bit smaller and cooked it a little further, then used it as a topping for ice cream. Yum!

              We had tomato soup and cheese sandwiches tonight.

                I always use a pan underneath a fruit pie, because it always drips.

                  I bought a small ham the other day thinking it was pre-sliced, went to open it just before bedtime last night and discovered that it wasn't sliced. So rather than use it for lunches we had some ham for supper. I sliced up some ham for a sandwich for me and Diane diced some ham for an omelet.

                    I thought the turkey noodle soup came out pretty good, Diane wasn't as fond of it, but she's not a big fan of turkey in general, though she did have two small bowls of it. Making a small batch of semolina noodles brought the carbs up to about 11 grams and 135 calories per 400 gram bowl of soup, which is OK as far as I'm concerned.

                      More leftovers here, too, and I'm making turkey stock and will probably make some kind of soup with it tomorrow. I don't know if lupin noodles will hold together in a soup, I may try a little batch of it or just make a small batch of semolina flour noodles, as I don't want the noodles to be the main ingredient in the soup anyway.

                        Len, have you ever tried the folding method for making Kaiser rolls? It takes a little practice but it makes a nice looking roll.

                          leftovers here, likely to be rinse-repeat for the next day or two.

                            I'm sure it'll be repeated on the Food Network.

                              The upside-down turkey thing worked OK, but the high temperature part didn't seem to work, and I wound up fiddling with the oven temp to get the breast done without overcooking the legs. But it was juicy and tender and easy to slice. I'll probably try it again but at the usual oven temp next time.

                              I tried stuffing made with keto bread, we decided it was a bit disappointing. Stuffing is something we usually only have once or twice a year, we can afford the carbs from the Pepperidge Farm herbed bread cubes that often.

                                Diane says the 4" ones didn't have enough filling in them, but the apple pie was nice and thick and I suspect the 6" sweet potato pie will be better than the 4" ones.

                                  We had turkey, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green been casserole, baked beans (a dish our guest brought), brussels sprouts, a relish tray, cranberries, popovers, and in a little while will have some of the apple or sweet potato pie for dessert. Diane and our guest are currently working on a jigsaw puzzle, I'm sort of watching the NFL game. I probably won't need to cook again until Monday. I've probably eaten enough carbs that I don't need a lot of carbs until then, too. 🙂
