      Thanks for your advice BA. I do have a scoop that would have been perfect but of course when I needed it I couldn't find it. I used 2 different recipes to get the weight measurements. One called for 3/4 c of sugar, sifted . Don't ask me why I sifted ahead. That screen from KA sounds interesting. Of course I have another gift card from KA I have to use.

          I made Mexican Wedding cookies for our Cinco de Mayo party. The problem I have now is trying to find recipes with weight measurements. Measuring things however seems to be more work and more dishes. I had to toast pecans and then chop them. I sifted and measured the confectioners sugar which went everywhere. I chilled the cookie dough overnight. I had to measure out the dough by tablespoon and then roll 40 cookies. Finally I had to roll each ball in confectioners sugar. I picked this recipe because I thought it wouldn't be a lot of work. They were yummy and went fast.

            I had a sliced beef sandwich. I marinated an eye of the round roast which I roasted and sliced thin with my electric slicer. One of my co-workers at the Kitchen Shoppe in Carlisle recommended the slicer ( a long time ago), It was a great recommendation. It helps to slice a baguette into even slices for crostini.

              My husband grilled some Porterhouse steaks which I salted and let rest for about 45 minutes before they hit the fire. I served them with roasted baby potatoes and a chopped salad. Glad the steaks were on sale because they were delicious.

                We had pork tenderloin topped with blueberry preserves mixed with blueberry -cinnamon hot sauce. Why not? I baked it at 350 for 20 minutes. Yummy last night and yummy cold for lunch today!

                  I had to make a dish for our German wine theme night. I made slow cooker sweet and sour green beans with bacon. It was pretty good but I placed my dish at the end of the buffet table and peoples plates were already full at that point. Live, laugh and learn!

                    We had haddock using BA's crispy fish recipe. It didn't take long to bake and it was very tasty. I used fresh dill. Both the dried dill and fresh dill are quite pricy but then dill is the star in the tartar sauce!

                      I had some left over curry sauce from TJ's. I sliced one large chicken breast, sprinkled it with s&p and Penzey's Arizona Dreaming . I stir fried a little onion, soaked dried mushrooms, the chicken strips with the curry sauce and some corn niblets. Husband had seconds.

                        BA I assume you used avocado oil mayonnaise. Reading the comment section some people suggested adding apples and pecans. Maybe you can add tarragon or some other spice.

                          I do feel like I'm on chopped sometimes. However I don't cook with exotic ingredients that I never heard of.

                            Marketing people are trying to sell you a product. Whether it has a down side or not it is not their job to tell you. They work for the corporation whose only goal is to make $$. So buyer always be aware.

                                Time has come to clean out the refrigerator and freezer. We had chicken barbecue pizza with onions on flatbread! I'm finally learning not to buy so much only to give it away.

                                  My sister in law gave me a recipe that calls for skim milk. I have it at home. They always come out good. I guess fat is not the problem for the keto diet.
