I made a roasted pork tenderloin yesterday with roasted potatoes and snap peas.

Today I had leftover pork with some pasta and green beans.

One of the things I want in a new waffle maker is removeable plates to make cleanup easier. I looked at a number of options. I decided to not waffle around any longer and made a decision. I bought a Cuisinart that has removeable plates and comes with additional (mostly) flat plates that they call pancake plates. The bottom plate has small slightly indented circles (4). It's suggested that it can used for pancakes (really small ones) eggs, sausage etc. I might use that to make grilled cheese but otherwise I don't see myself using those as I have better options for pancakes, eggs, sausage etc. They really didn't need to put the circles on the plate.

So I made waffles today. They came out great, somewhat crispy - not limp at all - and moist on the inside. And cooked to the correct level of brown for my taste (it has a dial to control the browning).

Some of the color on that waffle is due to being whole wheat and a fair dose of cinnamon (I opened the jar over the batter and some jumped out, more than I normally would use).

I have to work on getting the amount of batter right, I came up a little short. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this. Now I have to find room for it.

I had a meatball with spaghetti, green beans and carrots.

I had a stuffed pepper, rice and green beans.

BA, I can almost taste the cake!

I've made ganache using milk or coffee in place of cream. Might need to reduce the amount of liquid just a little, it won't be as creamy but if you want to reduce the fat, it's an option.

Happy Birthday to Scott, that looks like a fine meal, BA.

Today I made stuffed peppers, roasted potatoes and green beans.

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 had rotini pasta with meat sauce and fresh snow peas.

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 made quesadillas.

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.
