      On the news this morning they said that egg prices have gone down for the third week in a row. They cited lower demand in part for the decline. I felt that consumer panic buying was a large part of the price increases.

      Yesterday I paid $6.09 for a dozen of ordinary white eggs, the highest price I have paid. So, still waiting for those lower prices to show up here.

          I hadn't heard of a waffle bowl maker so I had to look it up. I couldn't find the Dash but there are a number of other brands. It sounds very interesting, one review said you can use corn bread batter to make taco bowls! I have to give this serious consideration.

              I had sloppy joes last night on freshly baked buns and a side of green beans and carrot.

                That's a fine looking meal, BA, I love radiator pasta although I haven't seen it in years.

                Still trying to adjust to DST, my sleep was way off last night, so a lazy meal day. A while back I discovered that you could get grocery delivery from Grub Hub and that the Jewel stores have a hot food department that has pretty good fried chicken (12 pieces for about $11.00). So, I ordered the chicken (and a few groceries to make the fees worthwhile) and made fresh broccoli and mashed potato. I have enough chicken left for a lunch and a couple more dinners.

                Why don't they compromise on DST, instead of moving it up an hour, do a half hour and keep it all year.

                  Our internet went out on Thursday

                  I have an Amazon Fire Stick streaming device. On Thursday it wasn't holding the internet connection. On Friday I checked again and still the same thing going on. So, I looked to replace it and saw the latest equivalent was on sale for $30. The old one is about 5 years old, so no big deal, I ordered it. It arrived on Saturday and I promptly hooked it up. Well, the same issue persisted. I thought about it and decided that maybe the gateway needed a reset (duh, should have thought about that sooner). So, I hit the reset and the problem is solved. Now I have an extra streaming device.

                    All my clocks are reset. I wish they would pick a time and stick with it.

                    Joan, your plate looks yummy!

                    Today I had Chinese leftovers.

                      Lazy day in the kitchen, tonight I had Chinese delivery, Mooshu chicken and pot stickers. Enough left for tomorrow's lunch.

                        I made salmon balls, mac and cheese (from frozen), and broccoli.

                            I made a batch of rye/wheat/semolina buns today.

                              I made a stir fry with rice. Green beans, celery, carrots, sliced brussels sprouts and green peppers. I forgot the onion but it was still good.

                                On Monday I roasted a few pork loin chops. Yesterday I used one of them to make quesadilla tacos (a quesadilla folded over then stuffed with sliced pork and chopped lettuce), a baked potato and green beans.

                                Not sure yet what I'll have tonight.

                                  Hi Skeptic,
                                  Pasteurized milk doesn't need to be scalded but if you want to scald it, I'm sure it won't do any harm. I use milk in bread making and I never scald it, never had any issues with it.
                                  I agree that the kneading time seems long, I'd be inclined to knead for 8 minutes, which is what I do for most of my yeasted doughs.
