I’m so proud of this meal! I’ve had this split turkey breast in my freezer for over a year and it came out juicy and delicious.

@RosaCanDo Those carnitas look so delicious. I’ve had a crock pot for 20 years and I’ve used it a few times, but really I never learned how to really use it productively and make something that tastes good… Besides roast. :woman_shrugging: That meat you have looks so nice and tender!

@Runningfree Once a year splurge! Trust me, if you lived near by, I would give you some. :slight_smile:


So, after years of longing, and a lot of research, I decided to get a KitchenAid (don’t judge me; I have commitment issues :laughing: ). It was at my doorstep when I came back from handing out cookies. I’d kind of hoped it would be here a couple days ago, but it is fashionably late.

I might be slightly salty at the timing. I mean, I’m not @salty, no one ever could be :heart:, but I’m good-naturedly salty. :laughing:

Not food, but I have to show it off!

Beautiful machine! I love mine for cookie doughs and in particular, pizza dough. So easy with the dough hook.

Thank you! I’m so excited to try it. I love baking bread, but sometimes it’s just too time consuming. I’m happy to hear such good words about yours!

Usually I would agree with you :face_vomiting: I’m am not a pimento cheese fan at all. It’s gross :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: But this fresh made dip is so awesome. I don’t know what the hell they do to it buts it’s great :blush:

My wife ordered the mushroom meatloaf :face_vomiting:

I’ve had a revelation. Not sure why it didn’t cross my mind sooner.

I’m a meal prepper. Aside from when I go on dates, anything I eat - I’ve cooked myself. Even on dates sometimes, we’re at my place and I’m cooking. My food is routinely eaten out of tupperware containers. Like an animal! :sweat_smile:

Over the weekend, I thought to myself – why not simply transfer the food from the tupperware to a real plate?
And that is how I became a man of culture.

(seriously though it feels way nicer)
