Because we had Bocce at 445pm for dinner we had our defrosted and microwaved grilled hamburgers. (at 730pm!) . To repeat myself I add about 1Tbls. of corn syrup per lb. of beef. This keeps them juicy! Also each burger weighs 5oz. I love my scale.
BA , I think you went to the same TM that I did in Florida! I bought quite a few things there including a baking pan and some mini oven mitts. When I stopped by this year it was very bare. I think all the TM's were different based on location. The one where we lived in Maryland was the pits. Anyway I really liked the Florida location at one time. Of course it is (was) next door to a Home Goods a Five Below and Kirklands!
Lamb chops marinated with thyme and rosemary and chinese fried rice that I froze, defrosted and microwaved (yum) and roasted carrots. Oops can't forget mint jelly!
The Chinese almond cookies turned out great! I used my 1" scoop and rolled the dough into balls. They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I used the recipe from "tablefortwoblog.com". It was strange to see small bits of butter in the dough before baking but it totally worked.
I baked Mexican wedding cookies last week and I'm baking Chinese almond cookies this week. The latter calls for almond flour . I had frozen the flour when we went to Florida. It was a pain to get out of the bag. The process called for mixing the flour with cold butter cubes and mixing prior to adding sugar and a/p flour. The mixture has to chill for an hour or more. It is still chilling as I write. Too be continued.
I made a shrimp dish with lemon and garlic served over pasta. I didn't have a lemon so I sprinkled my KA lemon powder on top. Could have had more lemon flavor but it was pretty tasty!
You have to cherish every positive moment!
I made a rubbed pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and corn. What I discovered is that it is better to bake the tenderloin at 350 instead of 400. I dislike overcooked pork and like it somewhat pink in the middle. I take it out at 140 or so and let it rest bringing it to 145. Depending on the weight I tend to check the meat after 20 minutes. IMHO!
Our neighbor filled our refrigerator with fruit, milk and lunch meats . She included a box of cereal for breakfast tomorrow and ordered Chinese takeout for dinner which we all enjoyed. Of course she included a bottle of wine. After our 2 day 18 hour trip home we really appreciated it.
Praying for you Joan.
Time to clean out the freezer and fridge. I sautéed shrimp with pineapple and sausage. I added broccoli and served over rice. With a little spice addition here and there it was pretty tasty.
We had fall off the bone bb ribs with baked beans, coleslaw and leftover chicken wings!
I think the Tupperware from the 60's and 70's was thicker and higher quality. I still have pieces that are 40 years old.

Made my favorite banana bread. Since I don't have a mixer I guess it was just at well that the butter mostly melted in the microwave. I thought it was baked but when it cooled it sunk in the middle. I froze it to save when my daughter arrives.To be continued!
