Hey Gail
I bet you never had it like Tillie makes. Totally different than anything you would get in a restaurant, or buy. It cooks on the stove for 2 to 3 hours. It has a slab of smoked bacon, and smoked ham- we get the ingredients from the German store. She puts in onions, and then in the end, you shred in some potato to make the juice a little thicker. I will have to get Tillie to see if we can write it all down.
I wish you could juts pick one of my muffins off the screen! I so wish we lived closer, can you imagine the fin we would all have in the afternoons- coffee ( or wine). and a goodie on a cold afternoon. All with laughs, good conversation, and so much sparkle and shine that we would cause a sun burn…..LOL LOL
Between our Lock and Lock and Temptations, there is very little room in our cabinets! I bought EVERY single pumpkin design they had. Still waiting for the oval baker t come in from the waitlist.
I have my little Hallmark bat hanging from the cup holder in the doorway. Heather is going to scream- she is very east to scare….LOL

Hi Colleen
I missed the black angel shirt, that has 3 angels around the top/neckline. I loved that one! I keep looking, as they sometimes have returns, and then I can get one.
Congrats on your daughter having a baby girl!
I know how much you and Ron like potato soup. For the Sunday roundup recipe on the King Arthur Flour website, they did potato garlic soup. I printed the recipe out-one of my favorite ways to cook- the crock pot!
You are making me want my mother’s homemade genuine Sauerkraut, with all the talk of Oktoberfest!! Maybe I can get Tillie to remember it. You know, we forget how our parents age, and as she is 89, she has forgotten a lot of things. It is fabulous- it has a hunk of German bacon, as well as a slab of the smoked pork. Yum yum. If I can get her to remember- I will post it for all of you!

PS I think the gang is coming for dinner.

Hi Gail
The recipe is supposed to taste the same as Apple cider Donuts- just not fried. Sprinkles would look cute too!
Attaching the corn bread pic. I di these in the pan too, and am thrilled as to how they came out. they cooked quicker, and the nice crust is on the whole pumpkin shape, not just the top like it is in your square baking pan. I got those cute muffin papers from a catalog- made by Wilton. Then I Googles them on the Joanne Fabric website, and found a bunch of adorable ones for all the holidays.
I love this pan, almost as much as my Temptations ones! I have to say, I am thrilled with the temptations pans. This is the first time I bought them, and they bake everything better. It would be great if they came out with cute pans like this pumpkin one too!

PS…..I think the whole gang is coming for dinner. (I know Amanda is working- not sure about the others yet) We are making a German dish- a beef pot roast, with onion and carrot in the gravy. It is a loose gravy, with great taste- you put it over egg noodles, or Spaetzle. Heather is coming to put it together, as it is a lot of standing to saute, and stir….LOL

Hello everyone.
Here are the Cider Donut Muffins, made in the new pumpkin pan. One is with the cinnamon and sugar on, and one pic is without it.
I love this new pan. I think corn bread in it would be adorable!

Hi Gail
Gone are those days our Nonna’s cooked for us. Those were the good old days. Now, we are the cooking Nonna/Nana’s. I love ethnic food. I am lucky enough to have 2 varieties- Italian, and German. I never met my German Oma, as she was gone way before we went to Germany for a while when my Opa was dying from cancer. I love Sauerkrait, and Schnitzel, and Spaetzle. Tillie has not made any sauerkraut in a while.
that picture of Piper must be hysterical! She really hates to be restricted by her clothes. this winter, when it gets cold, will be interesting.
I am dying for the Lock n Lock pie savers to come form the waitlist. I ordered 3 of them for the pies I make. The Tupperware one is Have are not high enough for my deep dish pies. I check in them every day!
hope your day is not too chilly….I will be baking to make it warmer. You know that time when it is not cold enough for the heat, and you need a little warmth…..LOL
Hope your day is going well!
Adele

Hi Colleen
They really enjoyed the fresh sourdough bread with the nice fresh corned beef. I love it with the honey mustard. I also like a piece of sourdough with a little butter, and jelly. it tastes yummy. The leftover bread, I slice for toast the next morning. Gary does not like it for toast, as he likes white bread for toast.
Tonight we will do take out. We do that once a week. Actually, I liked the fresh bread with corned beef better than a take out meal.
The baking pans arrived yesterday. So today I am making the Cider Donut Muffins again. I want to see how they come out as little pumpkins. If they look good, I will take a pic and post them. I hope they do!
It is chilly here, so instead of putting on the heat, just baking something will make the house warm enough…..LOL
Did I tell you I missed the pretty Angel shirt again? If I lost weight, I could get one….LOL
I have never done the cookies this early. I would not have enough room in the freezer.
Hope you are having a good day.
Adele

Hi Colleen
We did have a good time last night. I got one comment on my waffle, pumpkin shirt. It is fun when you get someone who notices your sparkle. I had the roasted vegies for my salad, and the roasted eggplant with linguini. So, I was not really bad at all. They make their eggplant with no breading.
I was pretty good at the restaurant…..and yes, I did forget the pillow. I was surprised I did so well. I am hoping it is due to the first shot.
thank you for your thoughts on Steph and Jhonny. I think because it is so close to the holidays, that she is freaked even more. It stinks no matter when it is. Jhonny said he will get a reference from his boss. They really love him there. This is all such a shame.
Which recipes have you done form Michael’s cookbook that are your favorites? I really like cookbooks, so you can try something new, that you can do. A lot you would not even want to do…..LOL
I recorded yesterday’s Chew, as I watched Quacker. I will catch up with it today. Did you watch it?
It is gloomy here today- I have sourdough rising for bread for tonight. Gary is going to the Jewish Deli to get corned beef for sandwiches tonight.
hope you are having a good day!
Adele
