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.

Hot dogs have become too thin!
What is the difference between a hot dog and knockwurst?
Knockwursts are soft and salty like a hot dog, usually a little thicker and perhaps more aggressively seasoned. The big difference is most knockwurst probably contain better ingredients than your pedestrian hot dog.
And then there is biker jims dogs, must google. Ostrich, rattlesnake anyone?
I didn't know you could freeze hot dogs. 100% beef hotdogs is not made from organ meats, right? Thank you very much for the information.
As far as being good for you, recent studies show pretty much all processed meat is bad for you, but I still eat some in limited quantities (moderation in all things). I think the turkey hotdogs are better for you because turkey has less fat and is easier to find the dogs that are not made from turkey organs (maybe because there's less organ meat available?) The younger children ask for hotdogs for snacks so I try to keep more healthy options in the freezer so I can thaw and serve them quickly. Like most hotdogs, the most important part is to make sure they are made of meat and not organ meat and various meat products.
I'm trying to get the kids hooked on popcorn shrimp or oven-grilled shrimp bakes since they seem to have fewer chemicals (even in the farm-raised varieties) than many chicken nuggets and sandwich meats. Walmart sells a bag of small shrimp for a good price that I can coat in butter and seasonings with potatoes and freeze for a quick bake later. I have started cooking pot roasts for sandwich meat and ground beef for tacos too.
I cook more of our food and particularly meats to have better control over the salt and fat content because of the high blood pressure and diabetes that runs in the family. I've been fairly successful in getting most of the kids to like veggies and fruits as well as fast food (they want a fruit cup for the side more often than the french fries). They seem to like broccoli well enough if you get them to eat it before they know they've not supposed to like it or get introduced to a lot of the overcooked stuff in school cafeterias.
How do the turkey hot dogs taste? Probably healthier than beef dogs, right?
Your turkey dogs sound so good. I must try them on the grill.
Thanks.
I love your passion for chocolate!
Nothing!!
We each had a late lunch of Arby’s 9 piece chicken nuggets (there were 12 pieces in each container!). We followed that an hour later with German chocolate cake and a glass of milk.
Be sure that you even like chai tea.
I like cold drinks in the summer, and have enjoyed drinks with ginger.
Simmer chai tea bag for 5 minutes (I'm just using up what I already had),
add a regular tea bag and let steep for 4 minutes as recommended (because I think it tastes like they left the tea out of that chai mix),
then add milk and sugar to taste.
Like I said I'm still working on it and I'd like it a little stronger.
Mom loves the scramble, pureed pie, and blueberry coffee.
Mom is enjoying her chef meals very much and I am enjoying less time in the kitchen pureeing foods mom is sick and she has such a nice variety with this service. Yay!
Now you’re talking! Oh, yeah!!! Love it!
I live in New Orleans. I have my favorite spots where I get this dish, especially for brunch.
You’re right, very decadent! Totally unhealthy but hey, you’re celebrating a birthday! I say everything in moderation. It’s no fun to be good all of the time, right? 😊
Strawberry cheesecake, coffee.
Have a good Sunday everyone!
A friend drinks london fog often. She has it with an orange spice tea, then of course the steamed milk.
