Doesn’t appear on their list of salads, either 🙁

Always go with brewed coffee! Of course, I’m not very good at making it but it’s not too bad. 😛 Don’t like to take up my counter space with a coffee machine (got rid of the old one as it was too big) so I use a tea infuser to do the job 🙂

So these days, USA Pan is one of the better options. I upgraded all of my baking pans a few years back and they’re much better than the flimsy hand-me-downs that I had been using. Much sturdier so that won’t warp as easily (happens frequently with the low-cost aluminum pans) and they distribute heat better. My cookie sheets and bundt pans are from Nordic Ware and work really well. I still need to replace my muffin pans but I haven’t gotten there yet 😛

I’ve heard good things about Fat Daddio cake pans but never tried them myself.

Cheesecake turned out good. My spring-form pans leaked, though, so I need to do some additional cleanup. The leakage was fat so I didn’t see it until it cooled off when I next opened the oven. Next time I’ll put the pan in another pan to keep that from happening. 🙂

For the December holidays, I’m thinking of making a chocolate fudge cake with milk chocolate frosting. Still haven’t used my 10-inch tube pan but I will eventually!

Getting in the mood for soup. Maybe minestrone?

One can also use one of these for drinks!
