I remember when I flew back from Hawaii I had a 5 hour layover in some airport. I would go from one gate to the other and pretend I was going to wherever the people were going. I also remember the beauty of the islands. Hope you enjoyed yourselves.
I finally got around to baking that German Pancake (from Cook's Illustrated) with an apple and blueberry topping. I did not have the 12' non stick pan just a regular 12 inch pan that had high sides. Peeking through the oven window I could see failure. Only one side of the pancake rose and the bottom looked undercooked. Because we had no alternative my husband and I ate the pancake without relish. The topping was fine as were the sausages I served. I don't think I'll try it again.
I made Allrecipes' lamb loin chops which start on the stove and finish off in the oven. Since the oven was set at 400* I added some potatoes to roast earlier. The lamb loin chops came from Costco and were thick and delicious. Yum!!!

When people say it's better the next day I now believe them. The problem is waiting another day to eat something that took you so long to prepare and which smells so good!
I have had my Zo bread machine for several years. The manual does tell you how to skip the preheating cycle and how to set your own program. I never bake the bread in it. I use it to knead and raise the bread and it does that job well.
I made Ina's lamb with spring vegetables, but with beef (chuck). It was a 2 hour process but it was worth it. We recently moved and we now have an additional market to shop at. I discovered that their beef is so much better than the supposedly "choice" at our previous (and currently here also) market. I feel that I have been denied for years. I haven't tried their chicken so i made my peppered chicken thighs with Perdue chicken.
I baked potato sourdough bread. The recipe ( can find in the archives) makes 3 loaves that freeze well and can be warmed after defrosting.
I found lamb loin chops on sale at Costco and was severely missing them so...I mixed up olive oil, rosemary, thyme and kosher salt. I rubbed the chops on both sides. Then I sauteed them on each side for 3 min/side and then I baked them for 10 min. in a preheated 400 oven. I served them with mint jelly, potato salad and green beans with feta cheese. These were thick chops and they tasted mighty fine.
I had leftover ginger snaps from the pumpkin truffles I made the other week. I needed an hors d'oeuvres for our community cocktail party so I used frozen meatballs and made a sauerbraten sauce with gingersnaps. I used a recipe I found on Taste of Home and added a little worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and lime juice to the crockpot to thin out the sauce a little. They went like wild fire. (of course meatballs usually do.)

I almost made Cooks illustrated German pancake with an apple compote and sausage on the side. But the apples in the fridge were the delicious variety and just wouldn’t fit the bill. Maybe next week.
We had burgers on the grill and I sautéed some onions to go on top.

She also said that you should use domino confectionery sugar because the store brands usually have more cornstarch in the mix.
September 19, 2019 at 8:25 am in reply to: What are You Baking the Week of September 15. 2019? #18278I took a "macarons" class and made vanilla macarons with buttercream, chocolate ganache and cookies and cream filings. Now I can appreciate why they are so expensive.
Since I am only making 10 more meals I am using up my freezer selection. I have some filets (beef) and a pork tenderloin and some chicken sausages and some pork sausages and 2 pkgs. of chicken thighs. Tonight I am making tacos with my ground beef. I also have 2 meals of hamburgers. Please I don't want to add it all up because I'm afraid I can't finish it all. I can't wait to move and start buying food again. We currently live in Carroll Count,Md. and will be moving to Lititz,Pa near Lancaster. Shoefly Pie "here we come"!
