Do your have teenagers? Or the not me ghost?

We blame everything on Danny our mini dachshund

Food evaporation happens in my house too and it's only DH & me (and maybe the Not Me ghost, lol).

I'm making snickers cheesecake today, which I just know is going to evorpration about ten seconds after its set.

That's worse part, it's my partner and my sisters usually.... All in their 30's and 40's... I made brownie the other week a massive tray, my sister came over and by the time she left about half the tray was gone.
It was just the two of us, and yet later when I complained she looked at me straight faced and earnest, and said 'I only had like two pieces'.

She didn't say how big those pieces were did she. Brownies kind of stick together so I could see where she would actually pick of 4 pieces and only think she had 2.

First eggplant of the season and made Eggplant Parmigiana tonite and it was delicious!!

Wish I could share, but don't think it will mail well

@sunflour , I have a good roasted eggplant/potato recipe if you'd like to try it. DH loves eggplant...me, not so much. But I really like this.

ROASTED EGGPLANT WITH SEASONED POTATOES
(4 servings)

1/4 C olive oil
1-2 eggplants (about 1 pound)
1 pound potatoes, unpeeled
Salt & pepper to taste
2 garlic cloves, sliced
Lemon juice

* Pre-heat oven to 400. Put olive oil in large roasting pan and heat until oil is sizzling hot (about 5-10 min.)

That would definitely disappear in my house.

Hilariously my younger brother did that with cheesecake once, it was precut and I told him one piece until everyone had arrived, he came out with almost a quarter of the cheesecake, when I gave him a foul look he said 'what it's one piece' it was three, but he smoothed over the top and pulled them out together with my larger cake server.

Oh man, I missed it. But thanks anyway, I bet it was good!

it was and this time I let the berries thaw over night in a colander with a bowl under and gosh was there alot of juice wished I'd had a recipe for some kind of blk berry syrup but I didn't even think about it till I had poured it down the drain.

LOL and 1 piece can be any size right. depending on size of cake server.

That was his supposition.

But this is the lad whom refused to believe he was eating kangaroo. I was cooking steaks one night when he stopped by, I told him they were kangaroo, he said fine, we were there eating later, he commented on how nice meat was, I told him that that kangaroo meat is better than beef in a lot of regards... He went home and several days later told me he couldn't find any at the supermarket. The next time we were there together I showed him where it was, he questioned why it wasn't with the other steak cuts I said because it's kangaroo... He brought and ate it twice more more my sister finally realised and explained that kangaroo was where meat came from and not the cut.
