Last night at 9pm I decided to make lemon raspberry cupcakes. I wasn’t even thinking that I ran out of pipping bags so I had to just throw on the icing. Either way, it was good and goes to the same place

You could use a baggie for a piping bag.

I could but it was just easier to spread it on there. Really, by 10pm I was tired and ready for bed lol

I hear that.

When that tired the easiest and shortest way just to get it done.

I usually use a plastic bag for piping meringue cookies. For the schaum tortes I made last week, I just used a spoon to plop the meringue done and then swirled it with the back of the spoon. DH doesn't care what they look like, just that they are made when the strawberries are in season, lol. He was so sad eating the last one last night. I made yellow cake for strawberry shortcake - what I grew up eating - but he will probably start whining next week about having more schaum torte. I do spoil him rotten

Good morning everyone.

I put my potatoes in a plastic grocery bag. I put a small hole in it and cook it in the microwave. I adjust the time by how big they are and how many. I don’t do this often but it a quick way to soften it up. Makes great baked potatoes last min. Normally last min happens in my house

I am always concerned about using plastic bags to cook food in the microwave. I worry about the plastic breaking down or off-gassing onto the food. If I do use plastic wrap or anything, I make sure it doesn't touch the food at all. Just another one of my little idiosyncrasy's.

I use paper towels to wrap the potatoes in and then run water on them before placing into the microwave. The water from the paper towels helps to steam the potatoes (at least that is what I think).
I also microwave potatoes until almost done - then dice them up for quick pan frying. It makes it quicker and easier to get the potatoes fried and on the table for the meal.

Best ”baked” potatoes we’ve ever enjoyed come from my air fryer. I won’t do them any other way now.

I am going to make rhubarb muffins, some brownies for the kids and maybe some cheesecake bars

On my way. I don't know where you are but with what you've cooked, no where is to far
