I haven't made 1 of those in ages.

We used to have a Baker's Square (franchised restaurant) near where I grew up. They made the most decadent Chocolate Silk Pie (or was it called French Silk Pie?) It had shaved chocolate on top.

I made a sandwich with a planned leftover of breaded haddock on whole wheat toast with lettuce and mayo. I added a couple of gherkins and some "hot antipasto veggies" to the plate so there would be a bit of veg. It hit the spot and wasn't more effort that I could manage. I was kinda pooped out.

After nibbling here & there all afternoon realized about 10 pm I hadn't eaten, so ate 1/2 and apple. Guess I should call that supper?

French silk and chocolate silk are pretty much interchangeable. I make a meringue crust for mine since the first one I had was made that way.

You might need a little more?

Tonight was a good time to make some soup, and I had a lb of cremini mushrooms I got a while back, to do something like this with. I started by soaking an ounce of dried boletus in some hot water, then cut up a large onion, and started cooking it in a few tb of olive oil, in the Instant Pot, on medium Sauté, and let that cook about 6 or 7 minutes, while mincing up 4 large cloves of garlic with a generous amount of fresh rosemary (at least 3 tb), and not quite as much fresh sage. I also blended 24 oz of tomatoes to a fine purée. I then added the garlic and herbs to the onion, stirred about a minute, then poured in the purée, and let that come to a simmer, while rinsing the soaked boletus, and mincing them, and I strained the water into the Vitamix, to rinse the purée out, then poured it into the IP, along with the minced boletus, and a quart of low salt chicken broth. I salted it using some soy sauce, added at least a half tsp of black pepper, and 3/4 c pearled barley, and mixed well. I cooked it on Manual, for 20 minutes, and let the pressure release naturally. This allowed me to wash the creminis, quarter them, then brown them, and when the pressure was released, I stirred in the cremini, and about half a cup of red lentils, and cooked on Manual 8, and let the pressure release naturally. The thickness from the barley and lentils was perfect, and I added some grated Asiago, to finish it.

I'm planning for a visit with Frank's parents this weekend. I love their visits and wanted to make a few things for them. I went to EIGHT stores to get everything. Now I am used to going to perhaps two or even three as needed, but eight?

I returned so frustrated and we put groceries away and Frank took me out to get the last items. Oh, these were not "specialty ingredients" either. Someone really loves Kraft Cheddar singles. Why does only one store carry it now? I wanted to pick up some shaved beef (actual shaved beef - preferably rib eye) to make Philly Cheesesteaks. We ended up settling on shaved beef....no idea from where it was shaved. And finally found it in store six (which only had a small pack) so ended up going to store seven.

I had a hamburger with a side of onion rings and fried green beans.
