    I had to smile when you forgot the salt in the pizza dough - it reminded me of my grandmother who I believe was the world's best cook. She always allowed me to "help" her cook and once we made a layer cake for a cousin's birthday and as we were cleaning up the kitchen after placing the cake in the oven, she said "oh no." She walked over and opened the oven door and stirred baking powder into the already baking layers. Of course, they were perfect. As was she.

    Well, you're probably NEVER going to see this, but I just have to say that I am SO inspired by you! I'm 60 and live alone and LOVE casseroles, especially ones that are complete meals (meaning that they contain a protein, a vegetable and a starch). From now on when I make a casserole, I'm going to make 3 of them, one to eat right away (every night for dinner until gone, which suits me fine), one for my elderly parents, and a third one to divide into meal-size portions to freeze for myself. I can't wait to do that this weekend! I'm a super picky eater so will be making casseroles that combine ingredients from 2 or more of your recipes to come up with my own complete-meal casseroles. For example, I don't like bell peppers, onions, ricotta, cilantro, etc., so this weekend I'm going to make a casserole with jumbo pasta shells stuffed with sausage and diced zucchini with cream cheese, mozzarello and parmesan. Thank you SO MUCH for all the inspiration; you are such a joy to spend time with and I've already learned so much from you in the one week since I stumbled upon your channel!!

    Hey Becky, a good way to use up your dirty aluminum foil is to put it into your dishwasher. Just squees it into a clump and put it into the area where your forks, spoons, etc... are. the foil will give back the nice silvery shine on the cutlery (Chemistry thing). For me its a nice way feeling better not to throw the aluminum foil after one use in the trash AND u will get nice and shiny cutlery :) the same foil works for multiple washes - you can see how it becomes mat after a frew rounds in the dish washer. Maybe you will give it a try ^^ - Best wishes from Germany ♥

    Every time you talk about salt in your dough, I’m reminded of my Mother. Both of her parents passed when she was 15 and 16. 6 months apart. She was shuffled around to her older brothers and sisters homes. She married my father when she was very young. 17. My fathers family owned and ran a sawmill. So there were seasons where all the brothers and their families live at the Sawmill camps. They had cute little cabins. My mother was the only wife that didn’t have any kids. So she decided she’d get flour from the other wives and make a huge batch of bread. She wanted to help out so bad. BUT…. She forgot the salt. Lol. They would usually have a pot luck dinner and everyone would sit out by a camp fire and enjoy each other’s company. I had some scary Uncles. Lol. My Mom said she was terrified of the oldest brother. She said he tried to be nice about it. But he’d pick up the salt shaker and glare at her while sprinkling salt on his bread. Lol. It has helped me to never, ever forget the salt in any dough recipe.

    I've learned so much from this channel Becky, thank you. Even though I'm 62 years old, raised two children and now have 4 grandchildren I basically never really learned how to cook. My Mom didn't like to cook and rarely did and she never taught me to cook a thing. Then I went to live my my Dad at 15, my older sister stayed with our Mom and after a few science projects my Dad and I went the sandwhich, ready made, or eat out food route. I did learn a few tried and true and had a couple of favorite cook books when my kids were growing up. I found that going all out was wasted on them and they prefered the few tried and true or simple things. Now I have the time and really enjoy cooking even if it's just for myself. I often freeze leftovers or share some with neighbors when I go all out. Take care and God bless you and yours.

    I made ghee for the first time last week and was so proud of myself. I used 2 lbs salter and 2 lbs unsalted so it wouldn't be too salty. It made 7 half pints. Boy do scrambled eggs taste good cooked with it. It smells devine. Funny that if you taste it, it's oily with barely a hint of butter flavor, but the eggs fried in it - fabulous and buttery flavored. You inspired me to try many new things this year. Next is to gather the supplies to make my own vanilla.

      One thing I told Becky was to scrape the insides of her vanilla beans out to put in your vanilla. Put the hulls of the pod into sugar to make vanilla sugar. It’s great for baking! It doesn’t take but 2-3 pods per 5 lb bag of sugar. Depends on how strong you want the sugar. I’ve yet to see her do it but maybe next time as I just told her about it.

    Since you bake a lot with buttermilk, it would be a good idea for you to get kefir grains and make your own kefir/buttermilk to have on hand at all times. I use my kefir like I would buttermilk, as to me it's same thing. I also drink a lot of it (great for gut health) so i always have a small pitcher of it in my fridge. It's very low maintenance too!

    I once forgot to add salt. It was a small batch like what you did here. I made extremely briney water and just poured a little brine on my hands as I kneaded. My mother and I baked bread every Sunday. We had a large family so the amount of dough was 4 - 5 times as much ad you made. All the extended family knew our Sunday routine so the bread was all gone by the end of the day. So much love in Sundays.
