Temps today in the mid 90sF got me thinking about a Shrimp Louie for dinner. I always keep tiny cooked shrimp in the freezer for just such a day and I have some wonderful fresh beets that I just cooked in my iPot yesterday. Not authentic but too good to not use.

I really like that little juicer...looks perfect for cocktails.

Even without actually seeing him do this I am pretty grossed out.

Interesting...my new diet is cocktail onions washed down with ice cold Absolut Peppar Vodka.

I've never seen mushrooms in chili either.

Thanks very much.

Can someone tell me where I can find this spreadsheet? My searches didn't find it.

A friend was telling me yesterday about a cocktail she had while visiting in Leavenworth WA. It was a Spicy Watermelon Martini. It sounds like something I'd really enjoy but I've no idea how to make one. Any ideas?

YAY!!!!

Yeah, you can do better.

That case of :Canadian Club looks like a good start for your stay! Posted whilst enjoying my evening martini.

I like to keep a package of Texas Toast in the freezer for just such an occasion. Maybe some Hawaiian Buns would work too.

I made my way into town this morning to get my nails done and to pick up the essentials for a dinner of ground beef tacos.....beef, lettuce, tomato to which I'll add some yellow rice, beans, salsa, onion on burrito size tortillas. Tacos my way.

There is a skill for loading a dishwasher that comes from using the same machine for many years. You just know exactly where everything fits most efficiently.

I made a lovely loaf of honey whole wheat in the CSO yesterday using the steam bake option. It was in an 8x4-½" pan and although it rose significantly it didn't meet the top of the oven....I did tent the loaf after the first 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning. It turned out really well.

If you don't get a satisfactory answer here you may want to try KAF's Baker's Hotline for help; it's easy to either email them, give them a phone call or use the 'chat' option.

It looks wonderful...thanks for sharing his notes.

I so rarely use mine that it's not really a danger.

“Feculent”, what an unteresting word...I had to look it up.

Leftover balsamic Chicken and mashed potatoes with Texas Toast .

Now that's a pothole!

Picked up a bag of 'FreshFruits Northwest Cherries' at my local store today...Don't know if they're Rainier but they taste like them; they're very good.

My favorite cake for my birthday is an ice cream cake from the store. DH's was German chocolate cake. Now that he's gone I have go get my own if I want one. Better check the freezer space first.

Sounds like great time!
