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.
Given the number of delicious tried and true ways to overindulge why would anyone waste the space on something like this?
If anyone has enough courage to give it a try, I would love to hear how it is though.

Some people eat to live; others live to eat. Safe at home, I have become a foodie! A person can take only so much Lactaid and Pepcid Complete, so I need to rethink this.
Pizza last night was store-bought, someone might have spilled some garlic salt on it before it got to us. My dH likes vegetarian pizza better anyway.
Fried okra
Fried apples
Busch NA beer (non-alcoholic)
Baked Salmon, mashed potatoes,
summer squash, zucchini, and yellow beans.
working on a big glass of spring water with lemon.
Aren't the home made things with blueberries and lemon better for you?
I don't even think they count as 'not on a diet'.
Luckylu,
Will you be buying your cherry slush, or do you know how to make it at home?
CWillie,
Oh, I just gave up my addiction to the best sour dough bread, and did not order any just this week. Eating that interfered with everything I wanted to eat. Now, I can't decide what to eat. When do we know if it is an addiction, and not just normal loving to eat that? As for coffee, I only have one cup in the morning, and very rarely in the late afternoon and only if I want to suffer a rapid heart beat that I can hear when I lay on my pillow. I read that coffee can prevent dementia? I know several people who no longer drink coffee. What do you think?
Very satisfying, ate just enough.
Homemade American Chop Suey
Slice of 12 grain bread
Large glass of lemon water
Only two pieces left. All four of us ate at least 2-3 pieces .My mom had two pieces and I do not think she will be hungry for dinner. Blew my diet but did very well all week. I will reward myself once a week for sure.
(I'm not really late to the party because I made my first sourdough 40 years ago during my "crunchy" phase)
lol - I'm not sure my friend. :-) With all the fruit I have maybe a bowl of cherries.:-)
That's on the docket for tomorrow now cdn~
My dad loved his Big Macs and fish burgers from McDonalds. Sweet tea sounds perfect.
Hi Send,
Sparkling lemon water sounds right up my alley as well.
I stopped at the grocery store deli and picked up German potato salad and a slice of veggie lasagna. It was a bit too cheesy for me.:-)
With the hot weather having a slushy from 7 Eleven tonight.
Now I'm having sweet tea and later I'll switch to water before bed...Nothing exciting here Send,........same ole,same ole~
For after dinner drinks I will have a shandy to use up that half can of mostly flat beer in the back of my fridge, I probably need some alcohol to balance out the caffeine!
I will be having Sparkling Lemon water with ice. Then, Pepcid Complete.
Dirty chai is a popular espresso drink served in coffee shops. It consists of a shot of espresso mixed into a spiced "chai tea" (or masala chai). It's usually made with a chai concentrate or tea, steamed milk, and a single shot of espresso, and the result is a cross between a regular latte and a chai tea latte.
By the time you come back, I will have tracked down my tech hubs and begged him to get me a new avatar.
I don't want to be a bad influence, or cause anyone a temptation too great.
Remind me again, what is the worst that can happen if we ate a few good cookies and has some dirty chai?
What is a dirty chai?
And all those cookie pictures make we want to head out the door and go cookie shopping.
Must. Stay. Strong.
It is still summer (anyone hinting at the fall harvest season yet?), and I am still trying to find the best-for-you and most satisfying summer drink. Just ordered some lemonade, when I shoulda coulda woulda been better off just ordering real lemons. 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
I found this today:
Soft drinks aren't your only enemy. Bottled teas, fancy coffee drinks and “fresh” lemonades can all be loaded with the sweet stuff. “For example, the 16-ounce chai latte at Starbucks, one of its most popular drinks, has 42 grams of sugar,” Rosenbloom says.
Back to drinking water, more water.
(too. much. food.)
