I have been missing out. It was so easy and now I have it to top the yogurt that I made. Tomorrow or Friday, I will be making dough for single serve pizzas. My back limits how much I can do at one time, so I might make the dough one day and then make the crusts and par-bake them the next, and then the following day do the toppings.<br><br>Cindy<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">On 8/25/2025 12:02 AM, ReNae Anderson via NFB-Blind-Crafters wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><p class="MsoNormal">I chopped 71 1/2 cups of rhubarb to freeze.

They took a while to make, but it was worth it. People who estimate the prep time for a recipe don\u2019t seem to count the time it takes to, say, peel and grate 2 cups of carrots. Or they do the job much faster than I do. I need a sous-chef. \u201cO André, prepare all these ingredients while I do something else.\u201d Would be nice.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Also, we decided to get new carpet in 2 rooms of our house, so we spent all yesterday moving stuff out.
