Lyn got a new Cuisinart Air Fryer so she offered me first dibs on her Breville Convection Toaster Oven.......ah, YES!  Baking potatoes for supper.

Does the Breville have an air fryer?

"Made my special German Schnitz brot Bread. Got out my cousin’s baby bath tub down to mix the dough in. This enamel pan turned 78 years old. My Aunt Loretta gave it to me year ago. But it gets the job done. Started Sat. afternoon to make. It take brown sugar, prunes,dates,raisins, nuts, candy fruit mix and plenty of dynamite, as my dad called the yeast. Got it mixed and took it to basement where I had a nice fire going. Let it set all night to raise. Will got up at 3:30 a.m. started to put in loaf pans. Filled 24 pans ,but if I figure as big loaves I made 18. Started baking and 4.5 hours later they were done. Of course had to make sure it was tasty. Oh so good."

A 'Day-of-the-Week' Clock!  LOL

"Hi: I just posted something about my wedding in 1962. Would you add that to it?
Thanks so much."





"From my house to yours. This is the view from my 12th floor window. A little white dusting last night. All the BEST of the season for my cooking friends. Very scaled back Christmas Eve last night.  I made chicken wings, chicken breast strips, oven roasted potatoes. Daughters in law provided sides an dessert.  Our area is going into serious lockdown tomorrow as our numbers are climbing dangerously. Last night is probably the last time I will see my family for a month. Dinner was at son’s house."





Thanks so much! It seems impossible that I was that thin! I think my waist was 23 inches. I had the biggest fight with my mother about the dress. She wanted me to wear my sister's two year old dress................ but hers was the requisite long white with all the trimmings. I loved mine, and wore it many times after when we went out dancing. Those were the days, my friend................ etc.

I found two burgers in my freezer, but don't feel like having a burger, think I'm going to fry the meat and make some shepherds' pie, as I have lots of potatoes to make the mashed.
