I lost the will to cook. We went to town for panzerotti.
We’re a nut-free home. Me + nuts = death.

Sounds excellent - especially the brownies!

Moroccan lentil beef soup worked well. R said he could smell it out on the hallway. I've tasted it so much I don't want to eat any now,

Worth trying, nacy. Also coconut milk seems pretty harmless. Glad nothing you eat affects you that way.

Nacy - Sorry to hear about your reaction to almonds. No fun.

I've spent much if this year finding out what was causing my IBS- D with cramps and also sinus headaches. Think I have most of it nailed now. Fortunately I am OK with almond milk. I also like hazelnut milk but can't get it everywhere. Coconut milk works for me too.

Would lactaid or lactose free milk help you? Dd has to use it.

PB2 sounds good! Especially with cocoa powder.

I've taken to eating straight nuts - pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts etc as well as straight peanuts. They seem to satisfy me better. and have decent amount of fiber and lots of nutrients.

Soaking some lentils to make a Moroccan beef lentil soup. I can't get enough soup these days.

Nacy, I tried the PB2 years ago when DH was recovering from surgery. I used it for frozen chocolate banana smoothies to get him some extra calories and protein. It was so good…too good.

nacy -have seen it but never used it. I have used Fatso - maple flavoured.

Made coconut chicken veg soup for me last night and just had some this morning. Soup is my comfort food. R got curried chicken, and carrot/cabbage fritters last night, I've found a few more things that are contributing to the sinus headaches. Been free of them for a few days now.

Going to clean out my "baking cupboard" and organize it better. Maybe I'll bake more then! R is still working on the last batch of PB cookies. He puts them with yogurt in his smoothie and says it tastes like cookies and cream.

I love soup!! But I like it thick as well, hubs likes it thin. The only thin soup I like without adding saltines is cream of tomato,, I love to sip it from a mug! I love chili as well.

Corn on the cob - I have done it in the microwave now for years. Love corn. Popcorn is a fave snack too.

Love thin soups - lots of tasty broth. R likes soup so thick it is almost a stew - throw everything into it.

I still like my corn boiled in a pot better than any other method, but then when I'm having corn I'm having at least 3 cobs 🌽🌽🌽.....🌽

Yes Nacy. Scalloped corn, creamed corn, corn pudding made with corn meal, corn fritters, fresh corn on the cob - all staples on a farm table depending on the time of year. All delicious!

cwillie, how do you prepare your corn on the cob? I had always done it in a pot on the stove like mom and GM until my SIL told me how to do it in the microwave. So much faster and easier - Yay for technology but I felt so dumb!

You mean something similar to corn pudding Anxietynacy?.... I've made that before. Some people in my family have to have creamed corn they can spoon over their mashed potatoes so that's the way I usually serve it, but I'd rather eat my corn on the cob.

BTW Nacy, my DD said the same thing about soup that you did! And you know what? I think I agree! With the exception of a few thick, hearty soups like split pea with ham or clam chowder or potato, they are a lot of time and work but not ever quite as satisfying as I thought they would be.

Who knows?! I’d really like the evening off.
I spent a lot of time yesterday baking with GD and then half of this morning cleaning up! Cooking with kids is fun but messy and uses twice the usual number of dishes.

Sounds good, nacy.

Turkey necks and sauerkraut here. It's so easy and smells good!

nacy, psue - nausea gone thankfully. I put electrolytes in my drinking water always. Crackers and toast are good. Trouble is with CFS/FM it's hard to know when the flu is over and the regular CFS/FM and allergies are back/still in operation. They feel somewhat the same. Nausea can be due to the CFS/FM.

I'm thinking the spicy chicken mole soup must be very good. Have a great visit.

Tonight DD, GD and DM are coming for dinner. Spicy Chicken Mole’ soup and corn bread. Pacific Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup with cheese melted into it for GD whose little tastebuds can’t do spicy yet. I don’t know what I’m going to do about dessert……

Golden, you must have been hit hard with that one. Does drinking something carbonated help? I know mom always gave us 7up and toast or saltines.

Nacy, I gave my kids Pedialyte and it did seem to help. When they finally asked for peanut butter on toast I knew they were on the mend.

I hope you’re both back to your peppy selves soon!

Supper last night was 3 small cold boiled potatoes with some butter and salt. I have been having post flu nausea - a new experience. Strangely, the potatoes went down well. They were a childhood snack.

Bundle,
It depends on what you’re having for Christmas dinner!
For the last 5 years I’ve ended up with 5 extra lbs. at the end of every year that absolutely, positively does not budge unless I give up dinners all together.

Send, how exciting to see the hawk family! I am a novice bird watcher. We see red tailed hawks too, but mainly lone hunters plucking rodents from our open fields. A sharp shinned hawk has discovered our bird feeders. Their nickname ‘bullet hawk’ is so appropriate!

Golden,
This morning, facing delays in getting my coffee and waiting 2 hours for dH to wake up, I decided to prepare breakfast in a hurry from the home frozen meals in the freezer.

We had microwaved Green Chile Pork and Sweet potato mashed. Dh did not say a thing, I just handed him a plate and he ate it. No discussion, no waiting, breakfast was done by 9:30 a.m.

Coffee came later.

I liked the change, and I was hungry for anything hot.

Later, I sat outside for two hours (in the car) and watched an entire family of red-tailed hawks learning to fly, dive bomb, and hunt. Beautiful days, colder nights.

Thinking that I could remember how to stuff the bell peppers turned out really good. There were onions, cilantro, parsely, yellow, red, and orange peppers, shredded italian squash, lots of hot seasoning and salsa, cheese.

However, I think that the recipe calls for uncooked hamburger, then baking it all together inside the pepper, like making a meatloaf.

Next, saving myself some trouble, stir frying it all together, peppers cut up in a casserole, add spanish rice.

Psue - this would be a good one. Dundee cake is very raison-y. I had it in Scotland. https://www.daringgourmet.com/dundee-cake/

and this one for the cherry pound cake. It looked just like that.
https://www.atcoblueflamekitchen.com/en-ca/recipes-menus/recipes/old-fashioned-cherry-pound-cake.html

Mother actually used a Madeira cake recipe and added the cherries.

Re marzipan, I don't know that I had a recipe. Certainly I didn't use rose water. I think mother just showed me how to do it. I blanched and ground almonds, mixed them with egg white and powdered (icing)sugar and added almond extract. You got a feel for the right proportions. This recipe would be like it but of course we didn't have a food processor - it was all done by hand. https://skandibaking.com/marcipan-almond-confection/

Your glazed sherry cake sounds awesome - surrounded by glazed home grown plums!!!

I need to quit reminiscing and get back to sorting out my little freezer. It's home frozen meals till we use most of them up. I need to know what is hidden in there.

Golden, you don’t need to worry about the dates sinking, there’s really no where for them to go - there is so little ‘cake’ in this cake it’s more like a ‘clump’ than a cake!

Looking up Dundee cake……..

Cherry pound cake sounds beautiful! I make a glazed sherry (not cherry) cake that I would surround with sherry glazed Italian plum halves from my tree. My tree now belongs to someone else (sniff, sniff)

My mom and I both love marzipan. Did your recipe have food grade rose water in it? I looked for it once to try making some for her it but gave up.
