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.
Can you make any dishes that your wife used to make and they taste the same as her dishes? I miss my mom’s cooking. I prepare the same dishes but they just don’t taste like hers. 😟
At least I’m not like a friend’s husband. She said he can’t even boil water. She was in bed for three days with the flu. His idea of making meals was breakfast, lunch and dinner from McDonald’s each of the three days. She finally got up in self-defense.
Night!
1. Do you say “fixing” supper/dinner?
2. Do you say “making” supper/dinner?
3. Do you say “preparing” supper/dinner?
I’ve said fixing supper and have said making dinner. I grew up calling the last meal of the day “supper”. When I moved to the city I was corrected for saying supper. “Here it’s called dinner.” Now days I interchange the two words.
So this evening for dinner I put three items on her plate: A pork chop, quinoa, and a fork.
You are among the few who don't take my posts literally.
It's not easy being green.
Cabbage salad
Buttered rice
Homemade bread
And a glass of Jupiter to satisfy the sweet.
Pouring here in NYC. Hurricane Henri has arrived.
I noticed I didn’t have any adverse effects with it as I do with the “lesser priced” sauce we like.
Their marinara sauce is gluten-free, vegan, keto-friendly, paleo-friendly, and whole30 approved. This sauce is free of onions, garlic and lower in sodium.
Nice!
Forgot....it is the tomatoes that I am sensitive to, lol 🤣🤔🙃🙄😶🤣
Because of the price I won’t be buying it very often. But it was gooood!
Spends $8.99 for a jar of Rao sensitive spaghetti sauce?
Mine was just delivered, lol.
I have never tried it, but it was on a list of the very best spaghetti sauces.
Showing $6.24 at walmart. It would have been wise to shop around, but I wanted the apple pie from sprouts. Ms.Madge used to tell me whenever the pies were on sale there.
Other times I like crumbling up cornbread into a glass of milk. Oh yeah!!
I also made a ham salad spread. It's something very Midwest and very 1950's.
I'm lucky, in that I love to cook, I inherited mom's recipes, and my dad has a great memory of food. And one highly alcoholic punch I've promised to serve at his funeral. With him, there is a story with every type of food! Needless to say, I'm not skinny.
He was moved in with me. He was "too skinny and loosing weight". Has a great body weight now. One of the few aspects where I feel adequate to the task!
I would like to hear of other senior meal and snack favorites, things that are easy for seniors to safely feed themselves, or when assistance at meals is needed.
Yes, regular conversation. Thank you. I see this a message from a while ago. But, a valuable topic!
