Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I do tolerate the green of celery juice, because it is helping me, and the organic celery in season is naturally sweet.
But it is not what's for dinner.
That was a salad with salmon and garbanzo beans on top.
That's not my idea of something fun for dinner - ha ha
That's the last time I put the brownies in the oven before a nap.
And, the last of the cherry Garcia
I bought a bag of extra large size Vidalia onions at the store a couple of weeks ago and now I'm chopping them up and putting them into everything. I sliced up two of the onions and put with two chicken thighs on the stovetop, added some dissolved chicken stock and let it stew. It turned out nicely. The onions are so sweet, so the whole dish was mildly sweet in flavor. It was interesting and tasty.
I'm getting more and more "wins" then flops these days and I'm still winging all of it. I think I actually learned something about cooking in the past 6-12 months. It's been a long time coming, but... I GET IT. lol Mostly, I get it. I am now a maker of cooked food. ;-)
Today I am putting some spare ribs in the slow cooker, I've never tried doing them like this before so we'll just hafta see how it goes.
Ali, holy smoke, strip loin for $4/lb??? I am only tempted to splurge if it drops to $9/lb here.
Was so sure we got the soup last night when hubs walked away to get it. He says they were out of stock, but did not tell me until I asked for it.
CW, is strip loin the same cut as bone-in strip steaks? That's what I can get at the discount grocer for $4.99/lb.
I miss my my mother's zucchini bread! She has a few things she makes very well, that's one of them. Cornucopia salad sounds delicious. I've never had it.
I'm using Worcestershire sauce in just about everything I cook these days. It's a nice boost of flavor. I put a little on my eggs, chicken, steak. I think Worcestershire and Vidalia onions make any dish taste delicious. :)
My ribs were....OK. I think I like my low and slow in the oven better, but who wants to turn on the oven in the summer?
I am fascinated that you have a nearby butcher, from start to finish so to speak. I once had a really good butcher at a really good store cooperate with my idea. A leg of lamb was less per pound so I bought the whole thing, and he cut it up to my specifications. Once done, (ha ha, deboned) the meat was weighed without the bone, at the lesser per pound price. Cook some, freeze some....Lamb.....it's what for dinner in summer! You like lamb?
I have to add, we never heard of any outbreaks of e-coli or listeria back then either, even though the standards today are so much stricter.
Definition: "An abattoir is a slaughterhouse, or a place where animals are killed. It's not a word you're likely to hear or use unless you're involved in these activities."
So fun, not knowing is getting to be so fun, looking things up, learning from other people, in other countries, so fun!
I'm still hungry
