Last night I made a pizza of sorts. I spread a thin layer of refried beans over the dough, then spread a moderate layer of mole sauce, then ground pork and cheese. It wasn't beautiful but it tasted pretty good.

Right or wrong, I'd be doing it. I have some KAF hazelnut flour, it's just fine ground hazelnuts, I'd use it for your recipe.

On Easter Sunday I made some deviled eggs, I filled half of the eggs with the deviled yolks and the other half of the eggs I filled with tuna salad.

Sorry for your loss Swirth.

Yesterday was 2 firsts for me, I baked a Challah and I made it a 5 strand braid.

I am saddened to hear that. She was a kind and sweet woman.

Tonight the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs have their home opener. So, to make me feel like I'm at the ballgame, I baked hot dog buns to have with a dog or two during the game.

I always use table salt in baking and generally use kosher salt in cooking. I always go easy on salt, though. If a bread recipe calls for a teaspoon and a half I use a teaspoon. High blood pressure runs in my family but I don't have it, I like to think because I go easy on the salt.

I wasn't going to read it until I saw that it has profanity so I rushed right to it. [smiley face, that's a joke]

Interesting article, I enjoyed it.

Mike, I agree, those pictures don't do it justice. The 1950's Corvette that was displayed there doesn't show in those pics.

There was the McD's in Water Tower, appr 800 North, another a couple of blocks south street level on Michigan Av, on the west side of the street and another on Chicago Av just east of State Street. The one that was street level on Michigan Av was decorated more in keeping with the high end decor that one would expect on Michigan Av, it was pretty nice. It's not there anymore. But it was nice having all three of those available back in the day when I was chasing down the Teeny Beanie Babies.

The McDonalds at Water Tower Place was the nicest one I've ever been to. I don't remember table service there though. I do recall double Quarter Pounders and double Big Macs at that location. I think the most unique McDonalds was the Rock and Roll McDonalds on Clark street, about 600 north if I recall right.

I recall McD's pizza too, but never had it. McD's tries new items every now and then in select markets, most of those items never go national. Pizza is kind of an odd choice for McD's, as they like to make their food in production line batches.

Today I baked rye sandwich buns.

Golden Delicious is actually a good pie apple. I think it's best to use 2 different apples though. Not that I always do.

Something new for me. Today I made roasted pork tenderloin with mushrooms. Was very good and have enough left for the next 2 or 3 days.
