I had a leftover pork chop, pasta, brussels sprouts and carrots.

There is a large appliance seller in Chicagoland, Abt, they were on the local news a little while back, they said the pandemic has caused their sales to increase by a lot. I was able to get a small chest freezer from them earlier in the year but it took about 6 weeks. But at least they let me order it and wait, other sellers like Best Buy and Home Depot simply listed theirs as "sold out" and wouldn't let you get on a waiting list.

I had a left over pork chop (yeah for left overs!) and made brussels sprouts and brown rice. Also made a tahini sauce that I put over the sprouts and rice.

I made pork chops and had one with green beans and leftover sweet potato.

Joan, deviled eggs sound good, I haven't had those in a long time.

I made roasted salmon, fresh green beans and whipped sweet potato. The sweet potato was especially good. Have enough of those left for a couple of days.

Tonight will be the last chicken burger and brussels sprouts.

Thanks everyone. I had intended to put chopped toasted walnuts on the glaze but I didn't get around to it.

Just a leftover chicken burger and some frozen peas. And a cinnamon roll.

I made a maple glaze for the rolls. I use part whole wheat and add 3/4 cup of oats to the dough. I used the cinnamon filling from King Arthur although I added a little more cinnamon to it. It came out good.

Joan, you have given me a taste for cinnamon rolls. Consequently, there is a batch of pumpkin cinnamon dough sitting in the bowl of my Kitchen Aid right now. I looked at several recipes and combined elements of King Arthur's pumpkin cinnamon rolls with my usual recipe. Will report on the results later.

I worked with a woman who got pregnant in her 40's, it was her only one. She would bring in a cake every month on the 23rd, the date of the child's birth. One day someone asked her if her husband minded that she would bring these cakes to us, since he wasn't getting any of it. She said that she actually made 2 cakes every time, one to bring in to us and the other one for her family. So, that's how you do it when you make something for others, make double so you can keep one for yourself!

I made chicken burgers. I took a pound of ground chicken, added a 1/3 cup of panko bread crumbs, enough chicken stock to hydrate them, an egg and some seasonings and mixed it together. Ground chicken made into burgers or meatballs can get dry for me because I cook them to about 200 degrees, so adding the hydrated bread crumbs makes a big difference. I baked them in the oven and had one for dinner along with chicken veg soup. The burger came out real nice.

Just a batch of burger buns.

I had a hamburger, fresh green beans and a baked sweet potato.

When I make kaiser rolls with the stamp, I lightly flour the parchment and let the rolls rise upside down. The flour ensures the rolls can be turned over easily before baking. This process naturally leaves some flour on the top of the rolls but it is uneven. I don't want any flour clumps so I take a soft pastry brush and brush it a little to even it out and remove any excess. I actually like the way it looks that way, gives it a little rustic look. I have had bread from a bakery that had a fairly heavy flour bottom and I do not care for that.
