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.
For dinner, hubby and I are bbqing (Cali style) hamburgers with potato salad and a raw veggie spread of celery, green onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, and broccoli. Enjoy the day everyone!

of course i have a cool mess hall story. one morning a rather big mouthed kid is making his way thru the line just annoying everyone around him when suddenly a cook who was frying eggs hopped the counter and wordlessly beat him down, then rehopped the counter, put his hat back on and never burnt an egg. man thats timing.. the little creep sthu too..
We made chocolate chip cookies earlier today, so guess what's for dessert??
im feeling so good i cleaned out the fridge and washed it this afternoon , then threw the renters dogs off the hill. yea, im gettin better.
To you all, this was a simple breakfast. For me, it was complicated because I rarely cook and truly never grew up seeing how food was cooked. I’m learning from watching the Food Network channel. (Our mom always shooed us away from the kitchen. She did all the cooking.) I fried the rice first with just butter and soy sauce. Put it aside. Sauteed the onions with butter (yes we have Crisco oil but ...), threw in sausages, put it aside when done. Because I still did not know how I wanted my eggs. I cracked 3 eggs onto the pan. Sunny side up? Over easy? Scrambled? I cringed as I sprinkled some salt into the eggs as I debated. In the end, I did the Over Easy, then quickly dumped it onto the meat/onions and quickly did a token scrambling of the ingredient. This way, I still have the lumpy eggs stuck together and not spread out as one does with scrambles. A good compromise. As usual, my food always lack salt. But I am so happy with the outcome. For once, I did not undercook the fried rice or burnt the bottom but the top was still cold from being in the fridge. Nor was the eggs overcooked (usually comes out so dry). Overall, my food was bland but moist. I really need to overcome my aversion to using salt.
Sigh… When I was frying the rice, the rice kept falling off the non-stick pan. Made a mess. I got fed up because the rate I was going, I would have more rice on the stove than in the pan. I took a spoon, used it along with the rubber spoon so that both hands were mixing the rice together. Much better control on preventing the rice from leaving the pan and unto the stove than using one hand to hold the pan while the other tried to turn the food.
riba rage. it shifts from one subject to another..
im making 15 been soup tonight with cornbread tonight.. it will never be as good as ednas cornbread. that nut usedta grind up spicy cracklin style onion rings in hers, but she'll eat it or ill punch her in the face. i think im going to be going to live with her this monday. i made the offer and it looks like doc took me seriously. lol .. she nursed me back to health 15 yrs ago during a particularily wicked hepc tx and subsequent divorce. this is a debt im repaying. this could all work out wonderfully. my kid could get up here and keep the bats swatted out of the bunker and i could give edna the care she needs. hes going to have to give up the blunts and make with some responsibility but im guessing hes wishing someone would give him the nudge to do it anyway. nudging, i can do . my homemade sledgehammer is so heavy most people cant even pick it up ..
this makes me recall a couple of guys i used to work in the " too " close proximinity of -- a trim carpenter and a painter. to say that these guys were unmotivated would be the understatement of all time. when theyd get to work in the am, the first hour of work would be discussion about where they were going to have lunch at today. then theyd talk about the " band " lighting for the next and so on until before you know it, it would be time for lunch. i dont believe i ever saw either of them do anything and by the time the builder would catch up to them each day theyd be " out to lunch " . the builder died at the age of 45 -- i s'pose he just gave up..
