BA, my female sibling received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine earlier this week. She said she experienced pain in the arm for a couple of days. She was told to alternate between applying heat and ice to alleviate it, she said the ice worked better for her.

Anyway, good luck, hope you have no side effects.

Chocomouse, that is a sweet setup! (yeah, pun intended)

Thanks for the info BakerAunt. I just assumed it was a 1:1 substitution.

Last night I made Spice Muffins from a recipe on a bag of Arrowhead Mills rye flour. The recipe calls for one cup of rye flour and one cup of oat flour. Oat flour isn't something I stock so I made it from old fashioned oats in a food processor, easy enough. I subbed maple syrup for the honey it calls for but I made an error, it calls for 1/2 cup of honey and I inadvertently used only 1/4 of maple syrup. It came out good but not sweet. I'm tempted to make a little frosting for them.

Tonight I made a batch of sandwich buns.

Yesterday I made stir fry with a left over pork chop, celery, carrots, onion, broccoli and mushrooms. Had it with brown rice.

I found a steak in the freezer so I made that tonight. Had it with bow tie pasta, I used a jar sauce in which I first sauteed some celery, onion, carrot, mushrooms and peas, then added the sauce.

One of the blueberry pie recipes I make uses 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tsp of lemon zest and lemon juice. It makes a very fragrant pie.

Today I made some potato soup. I used 2 strips of smokey bacon in which I sauteed some onion and a fair amount of celery and carrots. Then I added about 3 cups of potatoes and a quart of boxed chicken broth. After the potatoes were tender I gave it a ride in the food processor. I add a touch of half and half to it when I serve it. Came out pretty good. I portioned some out and froze it. It makes a good lunch with a small sandwich.

I roasted a fresh salmon fillet, baked sweet potato and broccoli.

BakerAunt, it looks like our menus are similar. I bought pork chops for tomorrow and the next couple of days.

Joan, this is the most snow we have had in a number of years. Most years are lighter but every now and then we get hit. We had snow 10 days in a row now. Most days it was not a lot but we had a pretty good amount a couple of days ago.

I made a simple pizza.

Today's high was 24 and that felt pretty good! Temp forecast is looking good, 30's and maybe 40 next Tuesday.

I don't know about you, but I've had enough snow for the year.

I made a boneless pork chop, noodles and peas, and gravy with mushrooms.

I made banana pecan waffles from a couple of bananas that were more ripe than I like. I also put in a quarter cup of almond flour and oats. They came out pretty good and I have leftovers for tomorrow.

I had a breaded chicken breast sandwich, roasted sweet potato, broccoli and cranberry sauce.

[RiversideLen]

I made a pumpkin pie.

Mike, glad to hear that your surgery went well.

Tonight was the same as last night, stuffed pepper, cheese tortellini and broccoli. I found a container of homegrown tomato sauce in the freezer that I warmed up the pepper in.
