It was roasted tomato basil soup with a grilled cheese on sourdough tonight. Then Roomie and DH hit the deep dish Dutch apple pie I made yesterday. What a pain it was to peel those apples. I couldn't find my apple corer so I used a melon baller to scoop out the centers. That pie took 10 apples. I didn't like the way the crust turned out. A little soggy on the bottom. If I make it again I think I will par-bake the crust before filling it. It was made in a springform pan. I am so glad I had sense enough to put that pan in a jelly roll pan before baking because it poured out juice.

Supper was a meatloaf.
Chicken soup that Tina made from the leftover carcass from the little chicken she bought from the deli yesterday.

That using the melon baller must have been a bore trying to core a apple! lol
I got a new way to make a grilled cheese. I toast the bread in the toaster, then I slap two slices of Land O Lakes American in between, and I zap that in the microwave for 12 seconds with the plastic splash cover on top. Perfect Non- oily Greasy or butter dripping wet sandwich. And I dont have to wait for the darn thing to toast in a frying pan, and sometimes it burns on one side.

Actually the melon baller wasn't bad. I just cut the apple in half after peeling it and scooped out the center with the baller. The peeling is a bitch. I wish I had one of those apple peelers or maybe I could pop the apple on the end of a drill bit and turn it on. I would have to buy one of those Y-peelers to do it that way.

We have one of those machines. We clamp it on the counter, and I crank the handle, and it cores; cuts into slices, and peels off the skin, all at the same time. It's fast too!
Tina said it's the best tool we ever bought. I think its from pampered chef?

I used to have a gadget which had two sort of hooks/loops, one end about 1/4 inch, the other a bit more than a half inch. It was almost as sharp as a paring knife. I could core a half an apple with one swoop of the wider loop, or a pear first using the skinnier part to get the woody part from the stem down, and then the wider part for the seed section.
It did the coring so nicely................. I have no idea what happened to it. Sigh.
OOOOps, on P.S. I should have asked Ms. Google before I posted that description. Ms./Mr. Google knows everything. https://www.google.ca/#q=pear+corer The one in the middle with the wooden handle was basically mine.

I think I might invest in a peeler. I just realized last night that the reason I don't cook much with apples is that they are a PITA to prep. Who owns one of those peelers? What brand and is it clamp on or suction?

Thanks Jimmy. I ordered a different brand from Amazon. I saw a video on YouTube about it. A no-clamp model 'cause I don't have anything to clamp it to. If it is crap I can always return it.

I met some new neighbours who just moved in down the hall in the elevator today. As we walked toward our doorways, I said "Would you like to come in and have a glass of the wine that I have in my shopping bag so we can get aquainted?" They said great except that could they come in about 45 minutes........................ I said, no problem. Went in, put the wine in the fridge, prepared a lovely (IMO) platter of cheese, crackers, some smoked salmon and olives. It looked soooo good................ Then Bruce knocked on the door, could they have a rain check, because one of their children had just stopped by. So, that was my supper! It was delish!
P.S. I forgot, I also had some super shrimp.

It was Dr. day for me, and I fasted since 10 pm last night.
I was starved when I got done.
Had scrambled eggs and a slice of toast made with all whole grain bread with no seeds in it.
Supper was a bowl of beef broth with about a cup of oriental noodles. It was not enough, but it was enjoyable. E v e r y noodle. LOL
