I'll get Anna working on the list as this will be a joint effort!

Blueberry oatmeal muffins baked in mini muffin tins without liners. Air is blue too - miserable little f***ers to get out of the pans.

My bad - was referring to the corn that goes in Pozole - not the pozole itself. I have had 'real' posole before in NM and totally loved it. So what is the name of the treated corn that I have purchased to make posole?

Got this one on Amazon.com.

I highly recommend them - they were absolutely delicious - they are held together with ground up shrimp apparently - I did notice Anna had problems with some falling apart - so perhaps she'll weigh in tomorrow when she's awake and comment on any changes she would recommend.

Summer tart with raspberries, blueberries and red currents.

I'm thinking an 'everything' quiche or frittata (cottage cheese etc slipped in there), summer torte for dessert with all those berries, a salad of course!

Lunch at Ed's again - 'corn' soup (posole I think) and I decided to follow the residents low carb kick and have the innards from a supreme burger.

Banana bread for the nursing home Two different gingers and some burnt almond and smoked salt bark for the the clinic (most of the crystallized ginger is actually for Anna).

Here and here

So tonight I drove out to the Billing's stretch to the farm of Myra and Pierre. Myra is the nurse who brought me red currents. She and Pierre were celebrating their 30th anniversary. Though there are no pictures to prove it - I was greeted with a glass of wine and Pissaladière. Following that sirloin on the bbq, lovely little potatoes and several salads. A cheese course of course (Pierre is french!) - gruyere and roquefort. Then the same red current cake I made for work but made in the 9x13 pan and made with ground hazelnuts rather than almonds - and an additional cake from Costco - layers of sponge, mousse and ganache. Tonight was a Full Buck Moon (aka Full Hay Moon). Too much ETOH and people start carrying around animals I find - this is one of quadruplets born in early January that had to be bottle fed and kept in the house. Not going to be easy to eat her!

I suppose though it would be bringing ice cubes to Eskimos! They said they want chocolate tomorrow. One of the nurses said "I hear you are a chocolatier" - that's a hint if I ever heard one!

Didn't have to! So the bread was apparently bannock - which would be the baked version of 'scone' - after much discussion I figured out that it's not a yeast bread - it's basically a savoury quickbread probably baked in a 9 by 13 pan. I do have recipes for same - perhaps that would work as one of the things to bring tomorrow.

Driving through beautiful downtown Wikwemikong today - I noticed a sign for soup and scone $2 at the seniors center. A very satisfactory lunch - thought I'm not sure that chili counts as soup in my world and I was expecting scone to be frybread. Instead it was a lovely chunk of a very tasty, tender loaf.

So today I again made cream scones with blueberries - these ones had a bit of lemon oil and I remembered the salt - much more satisfactory than yesterdays.

This one?

Kimchi grilled cheese bien cuit with a little puddle of hoisin instead of ketsup.

Shel_B's non setting vanilla pudding cooked in two stages - cornstarch first then eggs tempered in and cooked again. It's still a bit warm but seems to be appealing to the rug rat.

The Art of Choke!

Tikidoc's cream scones with blueberries

And did you use eggs only from vegetarian chickens as instructed in the recipe? - I'm sure that probably played a part! Those chickens will eat insects when they are out free ranging in the barnyard. I may be misreading but I don't see anywhere in the recipe where it tells you to bring to a boil with the cornstarch - so I think the recipe is at fault.

Those two alleles are connected by a third for ketsup - expressing themselves as Thousand Island Dressing!
