Thanks for the comment, Miss Runner-Up. I'll take all the encouragement I can get.

Today I tried to make a frosting to go on a tasty-ish gluten-free coffee cake (store-bought), using cottage cheese and powdered sugar. I was thinking along the lines of cannoli cream, and didn't realize that I wasn't using ricotta until there was no going back. My stick blender couldn't do much with the small amount, and the hand mixer couldn't make the stuff smooth. I added more sugar and some softened butter, which improved the flavor at least.

My husband made a Dutch Baby for dinner tonight. It was yummy!

Poor kid.

I'm avoiding processed foods for a few days to get my health back in balance, so I'll be cooking more, mostly simple stuff but maybe I'll experiment a little. Right now I'm enjoying a simple bowl of fried onions, mushrooms and ground beef. I used unsalted butter and virgin coconut oil, so there's a bit of a coconut flavor, which I don't mind. It was good without any salt, but I added some to the latter half of the bowl. As I was frying the ground beef, I thought why not cook it medium-rare like one would a steak? By the time I felt it was safe enough, though, it finished cooking very quickly.

Found a new seasoning called Tajin. It is used, I believe, on Mexican street corn and to rim Margarita glasses. It is tangy with a bit of lime flavor. I grilled a few ears of corn tonight and topped them with butter, Parmesan, sea salt, and Tajin. It was really good.

Oh, man. I need to visit a local farm store to see when their delicious corn is in season.
