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.
Meat loaf, mashed potatoes and peas -with mushroom gravy, pie for dessert. Now we are back to normal.
Jeanne it is all your fault - you mentioned the will-you-marry-me caramel apple cake. ;)
yaya - I think we left ours in the apartment when we moved out, What an image of your mum tooling down the road - scary!!! - and funny
hope22 - you are the smoothie queen!
sharyn - well, it wasn't my mind or my soul he was after, lol. If any of you have done any on line dating, you know what I mean.But he was different. He did want a relationship. Something to not tell your grandchildren - at least until they are older. I thought it was bad enough with ex who is 16 years younger than me.
Joan- I can see why you are pursued by a younger man. You are a very intelligent woman as well as a beautiful soul.
. Bonk and Joan!!
Your mum uses pin wheels - go go granny... LOL I like it!!!
Salads are great.
Boni, MIL never took her chair off "turtle". One nice summer day about a year ago we took her out for some air and she wanted to go look at the garden out front. Next thing we knew she was toolin' down the middle of the road...and I mean RIGHT down the middle, still on turtle, but she thought she was cruisin'. It's a country road not heavily traveled but cars do tend to come around the bend fast. It was one of those slow motion "nnooooo!" moments that wasn't funny at the time, but funny to look back on now.
Boni, you go, girl! Tell it like it is. Negativity not allowed, we have enough of that in our lives. Oh, and my mom uses pinwheels on her scooter... :-)
Summer is quickly approaching, so we'll be eating lighter meals, more on the grill, steamed veggies and salads!
boni - you would need to grow some muscles to hold one of those up! It had a cement base and is long gone! Maybe you should learn how to semaphore - you know - with flags. It might bring her to a screeching stop - rubber burning!
Assandache, let us know what you came up with!
Boni - you and were thinking the same thing tonight. Not hot here, but having taken on extra work to make extra money, my "cooking time" is slowly getting whittled down to NONE. I ran out to the local liquor store/deli and picked up some lasagna and beef stroganoff for dinner tonight.
Definitely freeze the leftover chicken teriyaki if you don't want to eat the leftovers. I pick up these little foil containers with pasteboard (like stiff posterboard) lids at WalMart - they're something like $1 for a 3-pack. I keep about 15 or 20 of them on hand at all times, because when I cook extra, I can label it and put it in the freezer right away. As long as you think far enough in advance, you can re-heat them in the oven in an hour or so (depending on what's in the container, some items take longer), or dump it out into a microwaveable dish and heat it that way.
It's saved my bacon more than once on nights when I'm too busy to cook, or don't feel like it...or haven't gotten the dishes done yet!
