      I have some roll out pie dough in the fridge that's a few days past it's best by date so I decided to make a small blueberry pie (one pint) because that's what I had on hand. I made it in a foil pie plate, the kind you usually get when you buy a store pie. I just took it out of the oven, it should be cooled down for tonight's dinner.

        BakerAunt, I always mix in some oats (old fashioned) when I make pancakes or waffles, whether I use a mix or make from scratch.

          It's similar to humus except that it'd made with roasted eggplant instead of garbanzo beans. It's good on pita or as an accompaniment to a sandwich, soup etc.

            I ground up (with my Kitchen Aid food grinder attachment) a pot roast yesterday and made it into meatloaf today. Had it with brown rice.

              There used to be a middle eastern fast food joint near work, I have had many a bab ganoush and other delicacies there. Unfortunately, his landlord raised the rent by a thousand dollars every other month so he had to move.

                You can sign up for text notifications with USPS. When I have a smart post shipment I always get notified when ever the package hits an arrival and shipment point.

                  I had rotisserie chicken and made whipped sweet potato and broccoli.

                    The maple syrup I have is labeled as "Grade A dark color with robust taste". When I've made Chewy Maple Cookies with it (also using the maple flavoring sold by KAF in place of the vanilla) the flavor is great. That is the cookie I always get compliments on. I also add some rolled oats to it to firm up the dough a little.

                    I made my usual semolina/rye/wheat sandwich buns yesterday topped with KAF Everything Bagel topping. While doing so, I noticed that some of my KAF baking supplies are low and I just missed out on a free shipping offer. But, I know those offers are like busses, if you wait long enough another one will come along. If I recall, they usually have an offer around Valentines Day, I can wait that long.

                      I knew this one! Although most people still refer to it as a fifth, the liquor industry (distilled spirits) went metric in the late 70's (if I recall correctly), what we are getting now is a 750 ml. 750 ml is real close to a fifth, about 25.4 ounces v 25.6. Not much difference to the consumer but I imagine it amounts to many extra bottles for the producers. Also, what used to be a quart is now a liter, which is slightly larger than a quart.

                        I made Chicken Thigh Fricassee and had it with rice and peas.

                          I got it too. Raw fish or seafood should only be used as bait to catch bigger fish.

                          Joan, I think it's often used in sushi. My feelings on sushi is, well, see my post about bait. 🙂

                              Yesterday I made stuffed shells and had it with leftover pork roast.

                              Tonight I'm going to have rotisserie chicken, left over whipped sweet potato and red cabbage.

                              For breakfast I made blueberry compote and pancakes. I make my compote in a way that most of the berries remain whole. I take about 25% of them in a pan with a little sugar and a tablespoon of water, after it heats up a little I mash them as best I can and let them simmer for a couple of minutes, then I fold in the remaining berries and heat them through, a slow simmer for a minute and then that's it. And a splash of fresh lemon juice.

                                I missed it but I follow the method I saw on Martha Stewart some years ago. You put the eggs in the pan with cold water, about 1 inch over the eggs, bring it to a boil and then remove it from the heat and cover it. Hard cooked takes 13 minutes but I don't remember the times for medium or soft. Also, I am not interested in any boiled egg that isn't well done, undercooked egg whites are not compatible with me. The advantage is the whites will be tender and never rubbery and there will never be a green hue on the outside of the yolk.
