I am making honey wheat bread today, baking it in bread pans rather than freeform, at my wife's request.
I missed the asparagus season again this year, I think it was on a Thursday. 🙂
I went out one day and the asparagus plants were already 18 inches tall.
We had takeout pizza for supper tonight.
We had two social events today, both with food, so no cooking for us.
I haven't made those cookies in a while, but may have to some time soon, they're really good.
I wonder how BLJ is doing, she kind of got teed off at some of the folks on the King Arthur forum and dropped out of the group. I emailed her a couple of times when MNK was first set up, I think I only heard back from her once.
Tonight we had salads
Anything over 2.42 ounces is a jumbo, that'd be a super-jumbo! (Large eggs should average about 2 ounces in the shell.) I remember getting some banty eggs from UNL, they were under 1.5 ounces each. The instructor said new laying hens took 2-3 months to start laying eggs that qualified as large.
That's a duck egg, isn't it, Joan? They're larger than chicken eggs.
I had a sandwich, Diane had a salad.
My son sent me the apron (and Diane a T-shirt) as a way of letting us know our granddaughter's college choice.
We had some more of the chicken salad on croissants. Margarine on one side and cream cheese on the other was really good.
Got the eggplants in this morning.
A peanut butter cookie recipe is a bit less fussy than most, so adding something like the eggs in late usually isn't a problem, unless you've fiddled with the moisture level because it looked too dry.
Got the rest of the tomatoes in, and although the eggplants aren't in yet, I know where I'm putting them. If it cools off this evening I may put them in then otherwise I'll do that in the morning.
The prunes were Diane's idea, as was the cream cheese. The recipe we normally use calls for a can of mandarin oranges, but we were out.
