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.
Picnics were very popular when I was young. I loved them! Great food, a baseball or volleyball game was always fun, etc. I wish more people had picnics. Every now and then, my husband and I will pack a picnic lunch and a bottle of wine to take to the park.
Your son had the right idea to unwind after his hard work at the university.
Your scones and jam sound delicious! I love scones. My favorite are cranberry and orange scones that are sold at my favorite local coffeehouse. My second favorite is blueberry.
I am always intrigued by shoppers in line at the grocery store that are buying just a few items like, wine, ice cream and chocolate! They look like fun people and I feel like such a bore with my vegetables, yogurt, chicken and so on.
We should treat ourselves sometimes, right?
Update on the special chocolates. The coconut coffee tasted of coffee but really no coconut flavour, but it was good. The last piece of lemon ginger was nicely lemony and all pieces tasted of ginger. I would order it again just for the ginger. They had an orange bergamot but were out of it. That sounds good to me. I am looking forward to their new flavours. It seems they run trials of new ones. I presume they will incorporate the popular ones in their regular stock. Of course, what I like may not be what everyone else likes. Must give them some feedback.
What kind of salmon do you buy at Costco?
Frijole = beans
Rice and beans Luckylu, in another language, Lol. Don't worry, I had to look it up to order it!
So, basically, it was chicken, rice and beans wrapped in a flour tortilla,
or, aka a burrito.
No, I didn’t catch anything. Others weren’t doing much better. Still it was a very relaxing time. Next week if we get a decent day I’ll take my wife out fishing. We’re looking forward to that.
I have always been intrigued by the Amish community. I bet it’s fun to go to the Amish market near you. New Orleans has an eclectic mix of people but no Amish people! Do you cook any Amish recipes?
We had an interesting shop here with a totally different culture. It’s no longer in business but they had cookbooks and other things for sale. The Kitchen Witch. You have the Amish shops. We have witches in the kitchen! LOL 😆 Not unusual for us though, we also have a vampire community, and of course, Voodoo.
Our very own Anne Rice became famous writing books about vampires and held many vampire balls here. With COVID the ball has been a virtual experience. Anyone interested in drinking blood 🩸? Hahaha. One of my favorite Halloween celebrations was when my husband and I dressed up as a vampires for a friend’s party. Halloween is huge here.
Enjoyed it, wrapped it in a tortilla,
Put all the tamales away. Fresh, packaged, but no instructiones to heat.
Originally wanted enchilladas. Another day though.
Luckylu started it!
You should get some, we can all share virtually...
If it all goes down, goes down, goes down,
I will have had my chicken,
Had my fun......
Will you be ordering margueritas?
Did you catch any fish today?
Changed to an Instacart order from Vallarta, a Mexican grocery.
Looked up what "arroz" meant, and Frijol Frito Frio-got that too.
Coming with 3 kinds of tamales, and a roasted chicken. And pico gallo.
Beans, rice, chicken, and tamales. Did I get that right? We will see.
I am very hungry!
Today was a respite day: I went fishing for a few hours and then home to fix an easy meal.
I would like to add I’m glad I found this Caring Forum. It’s like the caring group I attended before the pandemic. Y’all are great!
