I think I will have to stick to potato rolls at 1 cup of milk; English muffins can use 1 1/2 cups of milk but I don't have the English Muffin rings with me.

Joan; Looks nice. Sorry you missed your sleep.

Does anyone have a pizza recipe that calls for milk? I need to use up some extra milk and I want to bake a pizza. At the moment I make potato rolls when I want to use up milk.

I think last year or earlier this year they had a recall on the cinnamon sold at the Dollar Tree.

Several years ago I made a Chicago style pizza with Thanksgiving leftovers. It had two thin pizza crusts in cast iron pan with all sorts of Thanksgiving goodies inside. I think I had Turkey, gravy, stuffing, green beans and cranberry sauce. I ate it with turkey gravy and more cranberry sauce.

I did a Chinese Beef Stew, using sherry and soy sauce for the main flavors last Monday. The other ingredients were beef, carrots, turnips and onions. I couldn't find my favorite recipe so I texted a friend for advice and ended up with 3/4 cup sherry, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 cup of water. This was probably way too much sherry. I had 2 large onions, 1 lb carrots, 1 1/2 lb turnips and 2 1/2 cups of beef. This is the first time I had cooked anything in ages. I'm at my own house in Virginia so I could cook without my Dad demanding that I do things his way. It was great to peacefully cut things up without a back seat driver or being told that stir frying is better or that flouring the beef was unneccessary.

I did potato rolls with dried cranberries Sunday. Turned out very nicely.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing the pictures. Why doesn't he keep the tomatoes growing longer? I read that Tomatoes would be perenials in warm climates.

Are these bush type tomatoes or the bigger ones? I once heard about keeping tomatoes for several years in a greenhouse. The tomatoes were supported by ropes and every so often they would lower the ropes so the old stems would lay on the ground and the younger parts could continue to grow without hitting on the roof. I never saw this in person, or even had good pictures but it seemed so funny to have tomatoes trying to grow to the top.

I did mini scones with dried cranberries again. This is my normal scone recipe but cut into 16 pieces instead of 8.

[skeptic7]

I did glazed mini scones once, and found the extra glaze made it too sweet and potentially a little sticky on humid days. The recipe possibly KAF said that the glaze would keep the scones moister for a couple extra days. I don't remember if it worked or not, but I definitely didn't think it was worth the mess.

Poor cat. I hope the surgery goes well. This is the feral cat that comes in your house but is rather aloof?

I lost power for 36 hours, Friday at 10:35 am till Saturday around 10:30 pm; and annoyingly lost internet for over 4 days even after the electricity came back. I rejoined the Internet world just after noon on Monday.
Since the power was off, I am trying to use up the quart of milk. I've done potato with cranberry rolls twice. I gave some of them away and ate quite a few. I'll be giving some more away tomorrow.
I think the contents of the freezer survived the outage but I had to do a purge of the refrigerator.
I am surprised that the winds came up from Florida so fast. I was thinking that it would take two days for the Hurricane to get to KY from Florida.

I have a very old Joy of Cooking. Thats an interesting challenge. Recently when I wanted to expand my horizons, I find an ingredient and then look for recipes. Before the pandemic I got some rye flour at the Coop and then looked for recipes. I found how very different rye flour is than wheat flour and how some of my ideas on bread baking were totally wrong for rye.

I baked pepperoni pizza with only a tiny bit of tomato sauce -- the last of the container, and extra pepperoni, and mozzerella cheese with the last of the cheddar for extra flavor last night. It was baked rather late so I ate a cold piece for breakfast.

The buns look wonderful!
