Crackers or cornbread here. Depends on what we are in the mood for.
I think the only time I buy saltine crackers is as an ingredient for a dessert recipe my daughter makes once in a blue moon.Crackers = when you’re sick.
Bread = when you’re hungry.
There’s a difference. LOL!!!
Ooooo I love dunking bread in my soup (and chili) Sometimes I’ll just rip it apart and throw it all right into the bowl. Like raw croutons I guess lol.I was eating delicious soup at a restaurant for lunch yesterday, and I overheard the people at the next table complaining to the server about being served fresh bread and butter with their soup instead of crackers. They stated loudly they had never heard of it before.
Here is the Midwest restaurants often serve bread or a roll alongside a bowl of soup.
Their complaints took me back to my first job as a server when I was a teenager, in Ohio. We served homemade rolls with fresh butter with our soup. We occasionally received complaints from diners who said they had never eaten bread with soup, and demanded crackers. Some were more polite, and just said they preferred crackers. And to be fair, our menu stated that all soup and salads were served with fresh rolls and butter.
One of my favorite lunches is soup in a sourdough bread bowl.
I rarely eating wedding cake, the majority have fondant. It’s something I can easily pass up!Our salmon, black beans and rice were wonderful. I am so full, I can't eat a slice of cheesecake. Altho, we did have some after lunch today. You can't even tell the crust is gluten free.
My oldest has a wedding to attend tomorrow afternoon. She's packing food to take with her because she knows there won't be much there she can eat. No wedding cake for her!
I’m planning to roast some potatoes, Brussels, carrots, and onions for dinner. One of my favorite sheet pan dinners.It’s a roast beef kind of day here today. It’s in the oven with shallots, garlic cloves and potatoes. I’m finding ways to manage the long Covid better, so for instance I’ve bought ready made Yorkshire puddings and prepped veggies. Still enjoying an orange G and T while it cooks tho![]()
Carrots are good in the roasting pan I think. I added a handful of chanteray carrots about 15 mins before the time was up and they came out well.I’m planning to roast some potatoes, Brussels, carrots, and onions for dinner. One of my favorite sheet pan dinners.
I buy 6 pound bags of organic carrots at Costco, and my favorite way to cook them is roasting.
LOVE roasted carrots. Started doing that a few years ago, and they're amazing. Roasted Brussels sprouts, too. Or any brassica really. Sometimes I'll just put a wedge of a cabbage in there until the edges get all crispy. Yum.Carrots are good in the roasting pan I think.

That's quite an ambitious morning! You seem to have benefited greatly from the extra hour of sleep on Saturday nightI woke up at 5am and couldn't go back to sleep. So I got up and made a breakfast casserole and a batch of gluten free cookie dough. I only baked one pan of cookies and put the rest in the freezer. My oldest left with a full tummy, some breakfast casserole, a sandwich, some cookies to snack on and cookie dough for her freezer.
Breakfast casserole today had 4 cut up frozen cooked turkey sausage patties, 8 eggs, 1 1/2 cups cheese, sauteed onion and garlic, pepper, kosher salt, spinach, and tomato. It was very tasty.
This is hilarious! After Hurricane Ian, I had no power for 2 1/2 days. I bought a fresh "white pizza" and let it sit on the counter in the box for at least 1 1/2 days. When the power came back on, then I put it in the fridge. I didn't die and I had something besides dry snacks to eat.![]()
Slice science part 1: How long is it safe to keep pizza out?
How long can pizza be left out and still safely be eaten?www.clickondetroit.com
I have never liked cold pizza, although it seems everyone else I know loves it.Cold pizza for breakfast is food of the gods.
great this discussion has motivated me to order a pizzaHere's part deux of the pizza story: How long can you leave pizza out? We scientifically tested it. Here are the results
When you have a pizza, how often do you refrigerate it within two hours? That’s the timeframe recommended by many official food safety guidelines when it comes to handling pizza.
However, according to a food safety expert at Michigan State, that might be overly conservative. So we decided to put it to the test using a simple experiment. The food safety expert is Dr. Theresa Bergholz, I was fortunate to find her thanks to the recently formed academic affiliation between Henry Ford Health, and Michigan State University.
I should point out from the start, while every effort was made to make our simple experiment as valid as possible, this was not meant to be the final word on this topic. People should use their own judgment and sensibilities when it comes to the safe food handling...
