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.
Turkey meatballs seasoned with fresh ginger and cilantro with coconut basmati rice. Pistachio jello pudding. Chocolate chip cookies.
Assorted cocktails. Wine.
I made cheeseburger casserole for supper . Ground beef, shell pasta, tomato sauce, garlic, onion, mexican style cheese and seasoning. Mom usually joins us for meals sit was 5 of us.
You know, we do have strong associations of people with food or a signature drink and music they enjoy. Universal languages!
They loved her cooking and I did too. I think mom would like being remembered as the best cook in Louisiana!
Rest In Peace, mom. You will live in our hearts forever!
Just like a great hug.
Now, the chicken is gone.
-3 sausages - one to eat on a bun, 1/2 of one to stuff the won ton wrappers I took out of the freezer for soup, the other 1 1/2 to add to a stir fry of cabbage, bean sprouts & onions
-I bought bacon, lettuce and a tomato so....BLT
-they had fresh lake perch!!! of course I'll have to make cabbage salad and fries
-and to use up the other panini buns
meatball sub (frozen meatballs and leftover marinara sauce)
I did buy a chicken to roast for dinner this evening.
So, I will make chicken and roasted potatoes and carrots. Possibly a salad too.
Not sure how much I will eat but at least I will have food cooked.
My husband has been getting take out because he knows that I haven’t felt like cooking or eating for the past couple of days.
I enjoyed seeing mom eating the small portions of the dishes that I bought for her, and the treats.
She is at a place where she can no longer eat or drink.
It’s sad. She is a skeleton with flesh on it. She enjoyed ice cream the most!
I am glad that I brought all of her favorite ice creams when she was eating.
I will think of her every time that I eat ice cream.
What food most reminds you of your mom or dad?
My dad was a huge breakfast person. He also loved soup! I love soup too. We shared that. 😊
The Poppyseed dressing sweetens it.
Kellse, I don't "like" Kale either. But the "foodie underground" has a recipe for chocolate kale cake. It is perfectly all right to not like Kale and say it. You will notice people respond with a sales pitch for Kale.
In a stir-fry, some spinach, kale, onions, peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, is nice. Over rice.
Kale sauteed
Kale chips
Kale smoothies
Just "Kale" me
🤣
When I was a kid, we grew kale in the garden. The kale plants would get massive. There was always kale to eat in the summer and us kids were sick to death of it. I'm surprised I gave it another chance as an adult but the kale I find in grocery stores now doesn't have the same strong flavor I remember as a kid.
