I took a chicken thigh out of the freezer, chopped up some veggies, opened a box of unsalted chicken broth and made chicken veg soup. Had it with a burger.
Shrinkflation has hit the olive oil industry. My last previous purchase was a one liter bottle, today's purchase has shrunk to 750 ml, that's a reduction of 250 ml. Did the price go down to reflect the new size? Nope, I'm pretty sure it's higher ($15.49) than the old price.
I am making an apple pie, it is in the oven right now and the house smells devine!
There are some Martha Stewart holiday videos streaming on FreeVee (I think also Amazon Prime as FreeVee will be shut down and the content is moving over to Amazon). One of them concerns pies, one being an apple pie. I took some advice from her. I let the apples macerate and then poured the juice into a saucier. I previously boiled down a cup of apple cider to a little less than a 1/4 cup and added the juices from the apples to it. That was about 3/4 liquid total. Then I added a 1/4 flour to it and whisked it over medium heat until it was smooth and thickened, then added it to the apples. I made a lattice top and brushed it with milk (I think that's a Jenny Can Cook tip, Martha uses an egg wash) and sprinkled it with maple sugar.
I used 2 pounds of Gala apples, which seems to be the right amount for my pie plate and used store bought refrigerated pie dough (the Amazon brand), the kind that you roll out. Seasoned with cinnamon, a touch of fresh grated nutmeg and allspice. Used a half cup of sugar. I left the skins on the apples.
I plan to post another pic when it is done.
Joan, those cakes look good!
Great looking pies, Mike!
I've been thinking about making a pie, maybe soon.
Today I made a batch of semolina/rye/wheat rolls.
I made a variety pack. I wanted to make more of the basket weave, but that requires 6 thin strands of dough and I didn't feel like putting in the effort.
