I decided to make Chewy Fruit and Oatmeal Bars. It's a recipe that I saw many years ago on the box of Quaker Oats. It's no longer on the box but they have it on their website. I modified it a little, I subbed all the sugar (3/4 cup brown sugar and a 1/2 cup granulated sugar) with 1/2 cup of maple syrup. Instead of using a baking pan and then cutting it into bars, I portioned it out into cup cake liners. I had to guess at the baking time, probably overbaked them a little but they turned out good.

I did a batch of burger/sandwich buns this afternoon. I'm thinking about oatmeal cookies but not sure if I will get around to it.

Happy Anniversary, Mike!

On Sunday I made brats and boneless pork chops on the grill. Today I made a large salad with slices of pork chop on it.

I made cupcakes from a box mix. Got 24 cupcakes. I'm debating about frosting or just dusting them.

Sending good vibes your way, Joan.

Today I had fried chicken delivery. I made kale to go with it.

I had some leftover pizza and a large salad.

Mike, that sourdough slice looks like something I would like.

With the cooler temps today and the next few days, I thought it would be a good time to catch up on pizza. So I made enough pizza dough for the next several days. I used equal amounts of rye, semolina, AP and white whole wheat, hydrated at 70% plus (I started it at 70% non fat milk and added a little water during the kneading process to get the right consistency). Plus a tsp of sugar, 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of yeast. The total weight of the flour was 360 grams, the weight of the finished dough is 650 grams.

I used my last sandwich bun for lunch so I am also making a new batch of buns.

I made brownies from a box mix. I added all the ingredients the box called for (egg, a little water and oil) but also added a half cup of oats, milk and dried fruit. Also made a chocolate frosting for it (a cup of powdered sugar, 3 rounded tablespoons of cocoa powder (Hersey's Dark), a small pat of butter, a splash of vanilla and enough milk to get the right consistency. I used my new mini candy apple mixer for this and it all came out real fine. Real happy with it so far.

I made a patty melt and had a side of kale.

I made a hamburger and kale.

Oh heck, I posted this in the wrong thread.

Skeptic, I have 3 although only two are in service. My original is a white bowl lift "Heavy Duty" model that I bought as a close out at Carson's more than 20 years ago. It still works but I boxed it up and put it in on a basement shelf. My second one is a blue "Professional 5 Plus" that I bought from Chef's Catalog about 11-12 years ago. It's been a work horse and will continue to be so, my only complaint is that it is loud and is a little difficult with the small batch kneading. My Little Red Apple (I like that name!) will of course be a supplement to the larger one, possibly taking the place of the hand mixer in some applications.

The pizza was good!

Joan, thanks. I really do like the color.

This is my first tilt head, I have to remember to lock down the head when using it.

I made a pizza for lunch, about 100 grams of dough (slightly larger than what I use to make my sandwich buns), I stretched it out in an 8 inch lightly oiled non stick skillet and then lightly browned the bottom of the crust. Removed it and placed it on my toaster oven pan, and put the topping on (toppings were a few pepperoni slices, a sliced up hot dog and Mexican style cheese, an eclectic combination). Baked it in the toaster oven until the cheese was melted and the proper color, it took about 15 minutes starting in a cold oven. Fairly easy and didn't have to preheat the big oven.

Dinner will be a burger and a side of broccoli.

That's very frustrating, Skeptic. Sometimes you get good installers and sometimes not so good. I agree with BA, you need to get them back and make it right.

Thanks, everyone.

It arrived late this morning and I immediately washed the bowl and attachments and then set out to make an extra small batch of pizza dough. I used 180 grams of flour (about 6.4 ounces). The total weight of the dough after kneading was 320 grams. It did a good job overall although I had to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times early on. I'm going to make three lunch time pizzas out of it, each pizza using 107 grams of dough, which is just a little larger than one of my sandwich buns.

I love the color and it's cute. It's a lot more quiet than my Professional 5 Plus. I'm glad I bought it even though it's a little pricey.
