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.
If you go , go to 5 Napkin Burger . Very juicy .
We are fortunate to have a number of universities by me that do plays as well as some music venues where famous ( albeit older ) bands come to perform . We also have minor league baseball and minor hockey ( my favorite sport ) 20 minutes away, I’m good where I am . There has been alot added the 20 years I’m here. Getting too crowded here too .
We are going to a baseball game this Saturday night . First time in a few years .
Have fun at your baseball game!!!
I cooked for boccie last night, made chicken tetrazzine, and cream sickle salad. We had a lot of fun. Even though, my team is loosing bad, but it's a blast.
Your dinner sounds delish!
Love watermelon at our house!
Wish I could eat watermelon.
Must. eat. faster. 🤣
Yes , I hate my bottom freezer ! But the fridge was already in this house when we bought . I have been hoping it would break . But nope , it’s 20 years old and going strong. I miss my side by side fridge/freezer.
Not sure if you feel hungry?
Old-time advice was to take one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
I tried it once or twice.
Then decided that I am going to eat whether or not I am hungry.
Not cooking anymore, even though with a/c running it's cool enough.
Worried about being more frugal, less conspicuous consumption.
Going to try cold sandwiches for the remaining week.
Using sourdough bread.
Heck,I love every kind of bread.
Sounds like your'e going to have some good sandwiches Send and you gave me an idea of what to make for our dinner tonight,so thanks~
Love sourdough bread!!!
We'll just have chips and cottage cheese instead.
Whatever everybody else is having,I hope it turns out good~
On light fake wheat bread. soft.
Add a bit of real butter, makes it easier to swallow.
Lunch.
melted inside, microwaved.
1/2 of the cheese fell on the floor.
Saved calories.
Earlier for lunch, a fantastic homemade potato soup, add cream of mushroom soup, can of evaporated milk, chicken broth, water, two baking potatoes pre-cooked, orange pepper, lots of purple onion, celery, and simmer as long as you can wait.
It is a very strange time we are having, something's not right. How about you?
We are having an extreme heat advisory. All there is left to do is eat.
cw - I am sure lots of people use microwaves for quesadillas.
Tonight I am taking a new approach to my family pack of chicken breasts. I am brining them, then seasoning and baking them. I usually poach them on the stove top. This seems like less work and more flavour and that's always good. I'll freeze some of them for later.
Yes Golden I too wonder about light fake wheat bread?
Like extra nervousness and feeling queasy .
My dh isn't right either but he hasn't been since his stroke but I still think his comprehension and hearing are even worse lately.
Maybe it's because of all the chaos going on,idk.....but
Eating some chocolate will help,I hope.
We had breakfast for dinner tonight~
Chocolate always helps, especially huge amounts.
Some people still buy sandwich bread pre-sliced in a soft plastic bag from some factory bakery that specializes in long shelf lives on most major supermarket shelves. I grew up eating that.
Thinking of Weber's white bread, then they had "wheat".
My point was that it is not healthy, but sometimes those of us trying to eat healthy can go off the wagon, so to speak.
Cwillie, A quesadilla made in the microwave - not the way a "real" quesadilla is made.
Using a microwave could also be a crime.
I call it survival, and don't do it very often.
Golden, Now I will need to look up "Poaching" chicken breasts. Never did that and need a new way to cook them on the stove-top. Always my go-to way of cooking most everything because it is easy.
The oven roasted chicken breast was very easy. Brining sounds fancy but you just put a small handful of salt in a couple of cups of hot water to dissolve it and then immerse the chicken in that for 15 mins up to overnight. Take the chicken out, pat it dry, and place in a roasting pan and season, cook at 375 till done - about 1/2 hr. Always check with your meat thermometer that it reaches 165F. Doing it in the oven means you don't have to stand over the stove and watch it. Mind you, poaching is good for that too, but you can cook a large batch at once in the oven.
Anyone else like Fontaine Sante dark chocolate hummus? Really hits the chocolate craving spot sometimes.
I bought too much milk so I have been making milk jellos. Coconut and almond milk work very well and don't curdle. I especially like the lemon and orange, but the others are OK too.
