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.
Barb, what kind of pickles?
Has anyone on here ever heard of Pachace? If I’m correct, it’s a type of Polish pizza? I had some many years ago and liked it but never had it since.n
I had never heard of that combo until I started reading Kinsey Milhone mysteries by Sue Grafton. But came across them again a month ago in a Louise Erdrich novel.
I think I am making Salad Nicoise with some frozen tuna tonight.
I was raised that you put butter on a PB&J sandwich. I don't do it very often now but, I still love the flavor it creates.
Some of the most unlikely combinations make for the best flavor and texture.
Before dinner I brushed my teeth and gargled with Listerine to decrease my
Covid load. Then, I washed my hands for 20 seconds while singing the happy birthday song. My dH social-distanced himself from the kitchen so he did not have to help. I took my dinner into the bedroom to eat, and removed my mask.
Just like everybody else, we had spaghetti tonight. 🍝
I made myself a peanut butter, mayo and lettuce sandwich along with a cup of coffee.
They're so good,just like candy~
Now I have three ways to try: two recipes and one jar of Rao. Which do I try first? Hmmm…….
1 stick of celery
1 carot
1 onion
4 spoons of olive oil
500 g minced meat (my mom always asked for pork+beef, so I always do the same, otherwise just beef would do)
500 gr tomato sauce, I mean tomato puree, the one you get in glass bottles, just tomatoes. What we call "passata di pomodoro"
salt and pepper as you like
(My mother didn't use to do it, but I add a glass of red wine)
Chop the celery stick, carot and onion.
Put the oil in the crock pot (if you wish you can quickly put the oil in a pan and fry - that is not really frying, I do not know how to say that in English, we say soffriggere in Italian and then put them in the crock pot).
Grease the crock pot, and after putting inside the "soffritto" (carot+celery+onion) add the "passata", salt and pepper according to your taste.
Set the crock pot on low for 7 hours. Then check if you want to add salt and if it is well cooked. You may need an extra hour.
You could ask your wife to open the jar.
