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.
Me too, I like doing one pot meals. I like roasting a ton of veggies all at once on a sheet pan too. That’s a super easy way to cook veggies.
Do you eat lentil soup? I make that too. I love lentil salad. I buy it at Whole Foods. One day. I want to try and make lentil soup.
I don’t use any meat in my split pea or lentil soup. Some split pea soup calls for ham and I have seen recipes for lentil and sausage soup. I follow a vegetarian recipe for both.
I think next time I will try a curry. I eat a lot of vegetarian meals. I do eat meat, just not every day.
I will have to look at the recipe again to make sure I have the correct spices.
You can make a lot of Indian curries and other things with split peas.
Also, a simple peas and rice.
I am not sure. Have you tried those? I haven’t.
I started looking at recipes and saw an interesting split pea curry recipe that I may try one day.
Sometimes I get bored with my cooking and feel like I need to move out of my comfort zone and be a little more adventurous. I find that I cook the same thing over and over.
Have fun traveling!
I am looking forward to August!
I was skeptical when I read about this method. Of course, I had to test it out for myself! It is foolproof. They came out perfectly cooked.
I do the same. I place them in ice water to stop the cooking process.
I read that the same cooking process can be used for pasta too. Haven’t tried that though.
I don’t usually do this though. I boil around 5 minutes or so and they are done. I hate overcooked rubbery eggs!
I have been thinking of making some hard boiled eggs so I am going to and see if my old ways still work.🤔 🍳🥚
Get a pot of water boiling, prick the blunt end of the egg so the air can escape and the shell doesn't crack. Dump the eggs in, turn down the heat a a bit and set the timer. Return when ready and douse with cold water. It's the dousing with cold water that makes them easy to peel.
Glad you found something that works better for you.
Anyway, LSU won! 4 - 3
Yay! We just scored the first run in the game.
When my children were young. I volunteered at our church fair every year. It is a lot of work!
I’m a little hungry but don’t know what I want.
Ever have those days where you have no idea what you feel like eating, then you just end up making a bowl of cereal or something.
I love moussaka!
I’m sure your son and DIL loved the Bananas Foster at Brennans. It’s a classic New Orleans dessert.
Brennan’s happens to be on my favorite street in the French Quarter. I always walk on Royal St. to enjoy the art galleries and antique shops.
If they enjoy eating in the Quarter, tell them to try GW Fins.
It’s so hot here now. My daughter and I took the dog for a walk yesterday (Magazine St.) and the shop owners and restaurants place water bowls out for the dogs.
PJ’s Coffee allows dogs to go inside the coffee shop to cool off. They spoil him rotten in there. The owner keeps dog treats on the counter for the pooches! So sweet!
It’s nice walking to Audubon Park because they have fountains for the dogs to cool off in.
I made moussaka for dinner tonight.
