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.
We even have cilantro and pico de gallo, two different hot taco sauces, and lime.
Dinner will be late.
Dh is sleeping while sitting at the table.
Surprising that he has low back pain after I asked him to slow down exercising until the pain is better, but I am mean; after he went twice to the chiropractor, I drove him, but I am mean; he was asked to return again due to stiffness in low back, but I am a meany! With OCD he can't stop himself, but I am mean.
And hungry too!
I still remember Jude/Phoenix calling me a harridan. 🤣🤣🤪

I feel the same. I like having a few dishes in the freezer for when I don’t feel like cooking or don’t have the time to cook.
Plus, I hate wasting food. I try to budget carefully. We spend too much money at the grocery store these days.
All of those dishes sound delicious! I love to make soup. For some reason I always find it to be relaxing. It’s kind of therapeutic to make a pot of soup!
My mom, her sister and my grandma were excellent cooks and their passion for cooking rubbed off on me. It’s a creative outlet.
The only thing that I find challenging is sometimes it is too much food. We either have to share or freeze it.
I cooked some Hot Italian sausages in the oven the other day when the temperatures were down, and started on turkey soup. Got the meat off and am now simmering the bones for bone broth. It's all too much for my electric pressure cooker so I am using my biggest soup pot. With such big bones it will take a while. Yesterday I did oven roasted salt and pepper ribs and today is cool too so I will roast some eggplants. I love them roasted with garlic and lemon and eat them hot or cold as I do with the ribs too. Not a picky eater at all except I have to avoid the things I am allergic to.
Yep! I can’t eat a whole chicken stuffed breast so I cut them in half and eat the rest the next day.
Leftovers at your house sound like a gourmet meal.
These leftovers?
"Chicken breast stuffed with a mixture of spinach, artichoke, provolone, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, diced onions, garlic and seasonings. Cucumber and tomato salad."
Pls. send some through the cloud.
White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle
Are they still in business?
(joke).
Sounds yummy!
But I think I overdid it, I feel like a little pig🐖🐽🐷
Don’t forget to add chocolate syrup on top of your ice cream.
Just finished watching Psycho. Am about to watch The Birds in a bit after I make a salad for our dinner
i snacked on hummus and pita bread earlier so I am not very hungry.
add some strawberry or pineapple topping…that’s fruit .
(who needs balance)
We add fettucini or large elbow mac to our chicken and broth, always.
I'm available if needed in my semi-attached one room cottage behind the lake "house" common rooom (open kitchen and large table with TVs and game system, two baths on one end and a laundry/storage room) but the graduate is hosting. It's perfect for a party and a big reason I invested in this place. The fun and memories are worth the effort. First Sunday in July is a family reunion- the first since my parents stopped hosting one about 20 years ago. I don't have my parent's home with its big shade trees but I will have shade from a few tents and pavilions. By the time the pecan trees are big enough to shade everything well I will probably be too old to host but maybe someone will keep it going.
BTW; it was fun watching the foster son and two older grand-nephews making hamburger patties out of 30 lbs of fresh ground sirloin Friday night! They made 122 patties. I figure what isn't eaten at the party can be put in the freezer and enjoyed later this summer.
Strawberry shortcake!!!!! YUMMO!!!!!!
