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.
My husband is Italian! I only have a small amount of Italian heritage in my DNA. I am predominantly British. Most of my family came over from the greater London area.
Italians are wonderful cooks! We have delicious Italian cookies at all of our St. Joseph alters here in New Orleans.
New Orleans has tons of Italians. The only other place that has more Italian residents is New York.
We have Angelo Brocato’s, an Italian bakery and gelato shop here in New Orleans. They have been open since 1905. My mom went there as a child.
Everything they make is delicious! I love Italian cookies, tiramisu, cannolis, gelato, etc.
They do ship. angelobrocatoicecream.com
I am with you on black jellybeans. They are my favorite!
That's sounds awesome,
I'm one of those people that only eat the black jelly beans. 😆
However I hate all aniseed, fenugeek & licoroce type flavours. I wonder if that is a gene too 🤔
Cilantro tastes horrible for me. I can’t eat it at all. It showed up on my 23andme genetic tests.
I love all of those plants. So pretty!
I want to plant an herb garden. I won’t be planting cilantro though, I have that weird genetic thing that causes it to taste like soap! I can’t eat it.
I am fortunate that the farmers across the road grow more veg than they can use, so they share with us in exchange for tech support and pet sitting.
Me not realizing soy sauce is so high in sodium and man she loved her soy sauce, on everything.
Unfortunately, I am extremely sensitive to sodium. It spikes my blood pressure. I don’t use a lot of salt in cooking.
I love pickles but don’t eat them very often because of my blood pressure.
When I was young, I had low blood pressure. It changed when I got older.
What are you planting? I have bell peppers growing.
Your pork sounds delicious! My husband does a great job with grilling.
Right now the pool is full of our youngest’s pals.
Back to planting and weeding!
Pickle soup! It is so delicious and will be a regular on the menu, especially during the heat, pickle juice is a great hydrator and stops muscle cramps, tasty and beneficial, win-win!
Nacy, chicken is so good cooked that way. I like it with a strong, dark ale.
Seriously, anyone that likes dill should give this soup a try.
Did a bunch of land scaping now I'm in my hammock. When I have the energy to get out of the hammock I'll run to the store
😱 5 $ a month for rent ,wow
Nacy,
Well, next visit out here you can enter his name.
I spend so much time on genealogy. It’s fascinating to read the stories that unfold.
It’s crazy how low prices were in the past in comparison to today. I found out from census records that my parents only paid $5 a month for rent when they first married!
$5 certainly doesn’t go very far today. We can’t even buy a burger with it!
Last burger that I bought at a restaurant was $18. It was wagyu beef though, really good burger.
Yes those where the cubicles I saw, and was standing there thinking, do I call mom ask her the name of my uncles ship or not. Hubby was wandering off, 😂, so I decided, nope my vacation.
Have a great birthday celebration with your family!
Hahaha, 😝 thanks for the memories! Captain was unique and hilarious!
Don’t know if you watch CBS Sunday Morning show, but they did a wonderful Memorial Day story on our WW11 museum.
They spoke about the veterans. of course, what they experienced.
The show reported on how our museum is using AI in cubicles to learn more about personal stories of the soldiers.
I hope that you watched it. Maybe you can stream it somewhere. I’m glad that you had a chance to see our museum recently. I tell everyone that it is a must see when visiting New Orleans.
"tonight i had fried chicken livaars. lol. theyre so damn cheap the stores almost pay you to eat em.
my mother taught me two things about combatting inflation. " i ainta payin it, and let em keep it " . shes right. ya let em stick that crap in the dumpster a couple weeks in a row and the price will come down."
The Captain could be charming, until he wasn't. I think a lot of the people who remember him so fondly never encountered him when he was at his worst.
Click on "Oldest First".
Here is just one example of the Captain.

i eat the federally protected sea turtles. they taste like a cross between a bald eagle and a hooping crane.

cap - you are supposed to be outside cutting wood or bopping old dogs on the head. Believe me you would enjoy those cookies. Turtle soup, maybe?
