Yes, Steve, I'm not coming to dinner at your house next week just for that! ;-)

I visited my favorite gourmet/discount/surplus grocery store today during a quiet part of the afternoon and brought home frozen chicken breast, sockeye salmon filets, several cases of single-serving yogurts, and a case (8 pints) of blueberries. I freeze most of them and will give some to a friend, along with some of chicken. I dropped off cheese, apples, and some other trifles at another friend's house. While many grocery stores are out of various categories of stuff and other limit quantities, this one tends to sell things by the case and their Facebook page urges shoppers to "shop for several families." So I shopped for three households today.

Salmon and some steamed cauliflower for dinner, and a piece of apple pie for dessert. Yesterday I made several small pies - not exactly hand pies, but shapes of dough with apples in them that were sealed against one side of some small pie pans. I lined the pans with foil and they ended up about the size of half-pies and were enough for 3 or 4 servings. Think apple pie shaped like a large calzone or stromboli. I delivered them right out of the oven, telling both neighbors to meet me at the door with a large plate and I slid the foil and pie out of the pan for hot delivery. I also took one of these over to my ex. Baked goods perk up everyone's day. I had leftover apples so made what ended up being kind of a large tart in the smallest of the tin pie pans. (I picked these up to sell on eBay but never got around to it.)
