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.
Nobody ever loses $20 bills in my car . 🤔🤔🥲
We’re having salmon and vegetables for dinner this evening. Salmon is one of my favorite meals! I also made a big pot of vegetable soup to enjoy for lunch during the week. I make soup quite often.
Nothing like fresh but, frozen thawed works in a pinch :-)
I get what you’re saying. I absolutely hate beets. I have never liked them. My bosses wife invited me over for dinner at their home. She was an excellent cook and I enjoyed eating dinner with them.
Well, one day she offered me beets. I politely declined. She insisted that I would like ‘her’ beets. So, I tried them. I discovered that I still hate beets no matter how they were prepared! LOL 😆
Sometimes, it does make a difference who is cooking though, so yeah it’s good to at least try something again.
Oh yes, there is definitely a “pumpkin” overload everywhere!
I am going to let your grits comment roll off my back! LOL 😝
Needs, apple and pumpkin is the fav for everyone around my area.
But I'm not into all the pumpkin flavored things, they do around here, pumpkin coffee, ice cream you name it, it's really over done!
Went to Alabama last year to visit an old army friend of my husband's , had grits for the first time. I'll say it wasn't horrible 😆.
Yum! I wouldn’t care about the crust either. Can’t go wrong with chocolate!
Years and years of this and they finally told me to skip the pie crust . They don’t care about having crust . So now they only get the pudding and cream on top. I bought ceramic pie plates that are to make small personal pies and fill them .
I love the Dutch apple because I adore the crumb topping! It’s a mix between a delicious apple crisp and a pie. So good!
I like baking berry or apple crisp because it’s so easy!
My husband has a sweet tooth!
Now you’re speaking my language. Grits are a staple in my neck of the woods!
I love cobblers. I make them.
I love berry cobblers and apple too, but my favorite has always been a peach cobbler.
I do a phenomenal bread pudding too. Everyone here makes bread pudding.
What pie do you prefer at thanksgiving? Pumpkin? Pecan? Apple?
And chicken and waffles is now up here too.
I made a batch of home made Mac and cheese today .
I'm putting blackberry Cobbler on my list of things I want to make sometime soon,
People really don't make cobbler in the North East. Honestly it's not something that I ever see on a menu, same as grits
They don’t want to freeze or they live in a small apartment without a big enough freezer to keep additional food stored.
They don’t want to buy a larger quantity of food and risk it going bad before they can eat it. They may not want leftovers for a few days. They prefer variety in their meals.
Personally, I love to cook once and eat twice! 😝
Love blackberry anything.
TN - that's a lovely story!!!
R says he's coming back here with some stuff today. Thinking I'll make him French toast.
People always said to us, “Your child is so blessed to have been adopted by you.” My response to them was always, ‘We are so very blessed to be her parents.’
We adopted our oldest daughter when she was a month old. Seven years later I had a biological child. I consider both of our daughters to be miracles.
I didn’t have a lot of extra money when I was younger to eat out often. Very often I would be really tired after work, so taking something out of the freezer was a great solution.
