My birthday is tomorrow, the 21st but we celebrated today. We met my oldest daughter and went to Shaya on Magazine St. I had a great time! Fantastic Mediterranean food.

Just a wonderful evening with my sweet husband and beautiful daughter.

I miss my youngest daughter and wish she could have been with us but I will never make her feel guilty for moving to Denver. If she’s happy then I am happy for her.

I've got chili in the slow cooker. I already dumped some rice in the middle to go with it but those potato pancakes sound better!

Luckylu,
When I tried to blow🌬 some magic wishes 🧚 on the funnel cake as per your instructions, (to bake some love inside it 💘);
The flame went out. 🔥

I moved the cake to the toaster/oven, but dH wanted to reheat his coffee ☕️ at the same time, and the electricity blew. ⚡️

Being the very wise husband that he is, he said it's better to have the electricity off with all that gas leaking into the room. 🙍‍♂️ 🌋

So, tonight we are trying to eat that quart of chocolate before it melts. 🍨


And all the trees in the field will clap their hands.

Cooked on the grill. Steak, corn on the cob, potatoes and carrots. It was too cool to eat on the deck, but dinner was good. Taking Dad for his weekly trip to Dairy Queen.

Houseplant buckwheat waffles are the best ever!

Oh my, you are only the 2nd person that I have heard makes those delicious things.

They make the house smell so good and right now my mouth is watering for some. Lucky you!

Sheltering in place is an opportunity to make buckwheat blueberry waffles served with butter and maple syrup. I keep frozen blueberries in the freezer. I keep the buckwheat flour in an airtight container as I don't use it frequently. It's more expensive than regular or even whole wheat flour. It's hard to find on the store shelves too. I've resorted to ordering some by mail. I've also made blueberry muffins and those are very good.

My mom used to make a dessert that was basically biscuit dough dropped into a brown sugar syrup and baked in the oven, raisins could be added to the biscuits or the sauce if desired. I got to thinking that biscuits are really just flour, butter, baking powder and enough milk to bind it all together so how hard could it be to make just enough for one serving? Turns out it's easy as I thought it would be - (I added an apple - yum!)

Thanks, NHWM. I can't wait to make it and I know my family will enjoy it too. Thanks again for writing out the recipe. I make soups during the cold weather and freeze some. I love soups too.

EB,

It’ very simple but delicious! Hope you enjoy it!

1 small onion - diced fine

1 garlic clove - chopped fine

1 stick butter

1/3 cup flour

4 cups whole milk

2 cups half and half

1 large fresh head of broccoli
chopped into small pieces (approximately 3 to 4 cups) You can use just tops or use the stalks too.

2 carrots - grated

3 cups grated SHARP cheddar (Please grate block cheese. Packaged grated cheese will make the soup grainy.)

Dash of salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Small amount of chicken broth if needed to thin soup

On medium heat melt butter, add onions and cook until translucent. Sprinkle flour on top, stir and cook for one minute.

Add milk and half and half. Stir continuously. Cook until thickened. Then add broccoli, carrots, dash of salt and freshly ground pepper.

Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until broccoli is cooked (approximately 15 to 20 minutes). Occasionally stir. Be careful not to burn it.

Turn off heat. Stir in cheese. Allow to melt.

Taste and adjust seasonings. You can add a splash of chicken broth to thin if desired. You can also add seasonings such as a multi herb and a pinch of cayenne if you like.

This also makes a fantastic topping for baked potatoes. You can throw in a chopped chicken breast.

As you can see, it is essentially a bechemal sauce with the addition of cheese, veggies and seasonings.

NeedHelp...
the Tunnel of Fudge cake, the original recipe used a box of frosting mix that is no longer available. In the recipe I printed out there is a LOT of powdered sugar that is combined with cocoa powder and added to the flour mixture. IT is the powdered sugar and cocoa powder that replaces the box of frosting.

The cake using a Tub of frosting is a different cake recipe and they are called "Crawlin' Cakes" I mentioned that because someone else suggested using a tub of frosting to replace the box frosting mx. The box frosting mix went into the Tunnel of Fudge cake dry. Replacing it with a tub of frosting with the added moisture and fat would result in a cake that would probably crawl out of the pan.
