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.
Well, at least you had pretty green cupcakes! 😀
I wouldn’t have eaten the rest of the dinner either if it was gross 🤮.
My mom never forced us to eat anything that we didn’t like. The nuns at my school did.
I took the punishment instead of eating anything I didn’t like. I sat on the lunch bench instead of playing with my friends at recess.
Hahaha,😝 Did the cupcakes have green icing?
There are good ways to cook cabbage. I agree that the boiled dinner is bland and boring!
If we don’t freeze food, then there are lots of leftovers. Sometimes, I look for recipes that I can make smaller amounts.
Your leftover ideas sound good. I like chili over pasta with cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. I also like chili and cheese in a baked potato. Chili is good in an omelette too. Let’s not forget about eating it on a hot dog!
Dh did not step up to cooperate with a Costco trip, so we were out of so much.
Trying to save on grocery-Costco charges about $3.00 extra per item now.
Aussie Bites are good, but in-store is $13.99, Instacart is $16.99, if I got that correct, because everything is so changeable right now.
Very disappointed in Instacart. Bamta and Mamtu wrote sorry for my experience, and how they can 'relate' to how it feels to not receive the right items. Really? Ai can 'relate?
Do I need to write back, or even thank ai? Wouldn't want to hurt it's feelings.
🤬
I love corned beef . DH not so much .
Need. I do use the crockpot liners for a party for certain recipes that tend to stick to the pot if you have it simmering to keep warm for a while after it’s done cooking . Saves cleanup time especially on a holiday, or football party.
We are celebrating my youngest daughter’s birthday today. It’s a little late because she was out of town for her actual birthday.
Whole Foods has a wonderful Chantilly cake! I like that they make mini cakes. It’s just big enough for the four of us.
I am not cooking because my daughter wants Chinese food from one of her favorite restaurants.
Do you buy the bags to go inside the crockpot? I never use them. I just wash out my crockpot after cooking. Those bags seem like it’s just something else to spend money on.
It always comes out pretty good.
Have you cooked corned beef in a crockpot before? I like to do pulled pork in the crockpot or a chuck roast.
My daughter raves about Mississippi pot roast done in a crockpot. I haven’t tried her recipe yet. Her friend cooks it and gave her the recipe for it.
I love corned beef and pastrami too!
Geaton, your dinner sounds amazing!
I haven’t ever cooked corned beef. I have ordered it from restaurants and enjoy it.
I love cabbage. I love potatoes no matter how they are cooked.
I’m not really a whiskey person. The Irish love it. I don’t drink much but when I do have a cocktail I prefer gin.
I have a friend from Boston who'd make an unbelievable Irish lamb stew with whipped potatoes... to die for.
Mine is a delicious beef stew! My dad’s family is part Irish. Mom made wonderful beef stew for us to enjoy.
Same thing happened on vacation in crowded Williamsburg. I went to the lost and found. My husband thought I was crazy.
Both times I got all of my money back. Lots of cash that I shouldn’t have put in my pocket.
I said a prayer to St. Anthony, patron saint of lost objects. My husband thought I was nuts! LOL The best one was when I found my husband’s wedding ring on the beach in the sand!
I have found tons of lost things. My daughters joke around and say that I should start a website saying that I will pray to St. Anthony and charge a fee! Hahaha 😝
Mom reupholstered it once and found tons of change that had fallen out of his pockets into the chair.
It’s true . It’s more rare to find money now .
Nobody ever loses $20 bills in my car . 🤔🤔🥲
