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.
For tomorrow I bought a small turkey and will roast veggies along side... if I'm feeling ambitious in the morning I may make some yeast coffee cakes and/or a stollen.
Yankee Pot Roast, broccoli and chocolate mousse.
Lama - Robin Williams was only diagnosed shortly before he took his life, one has to assume that was the tipping point.
So,What does "amanuensis" mean? page 20 in my old "Webster's New Practical Dictionary." or, just google it.
tomorrow, it will start with B and GN
add a bit of teriyaki sauce to the veggies, slap on that onto the plate next to the cheesy goodness, and:
add any variety from there only goes up...
If you have an authentic mexican bakery nearby.. they whip those tortillas up fresh... nothing better than fresh bread, and thin tortillas are a wonderful flour concoction like crust, bread, etc.
If you like tamales look up instant pot tamales. or renditions.. they are good. and you can make them ahead of time.
so many different types of fruit.
He grafted so many different stone fruit limbs to one tree. He had: peach, plums, apricots, and other varieties... It was fun to watch these over the years... JUICY FRUIT TREE !!!
BAck in the place my parents grew up.. there was a small park.. in that park was a tree::: the leaves tasted like juicy fruit gum..really.. . that was many years ago... over 40... so I think that park may be homes now... :(

What are we doing with Mother Nature and the Rain Forests? sad to think that SHE may be losing the battle... On the news... NHK news, tv, a journalist was tracking a plant that is changing to disguise itself into its natural surroundings to protect itself from being over harvested...

They are called Jack fruit. Is that what was described somewhere I cannot find?

cwillie,
I never heard of hot water gingerbread (cake). It would be interesting to try. Do you ever make it for your family?
I'm not having the same kind of glitches you are but my news feed is back to taking forever to load updates, it's often faster to just visit individual threads.
A Gingerbread house was something I saw in magazines, and thought it would be impossible to eat. Who would want to destroy it, such a nice (food?) decoration sitting out for weeks, with hardened icing to keep it together. ????
Thanks Shell, I did not see Jack.
Shell and Cwillie,
When I posted a minute ago, your last posts were not showing from 3 hours ago, and only appeared after I posted. Also, I am very careful to type in exactly, and proofread before and after posting. There is a glitch causing us all to lose letters, and it is not just this website. FYI.
The name of the movie that Robin Williams was in were he plays a child is called "Jack." I believe it was made in 1996!
I like the A&D ointment for any dry skin on my body, face or hands. It's gooey but it feels nice, it's soothing or something. I got into the habit of using it on my face when I bought a big tub for my grandmother's skin some years ago. :-)
Now I can use what I want though.😊
Are you thinking of Noxema jars being dark blue? Have you ever used Noxema?
Even the vintage Ponds jars are white, with light blue and light green lids.
I looked it up.
My friend has beautiful skin, so I asked her what she used. All her life, it was Ponds.
That was after a time I could no longer buy my favorite Clarins moisture cream.
And, the price went up way high. Prohibitive, and immoral to pay that much.
Truth, my budget had a whole lot to do with my 'morality' of not spending too much on cosmetics these days.
I don't know how you can sleep all night if you haven't got something on your stomach. A saltine cracker, 1/2 slice toast, two sips of rice milk? Sometimes when added stress is piled on, using food as a calming medicine works in small amounts. Whatever works for you. Not sure, but allowing the body to be in a state of ketoacidosis (by not eating timely) causes one to not want to eat. This state is not healthy, not normal for our bodies. You have mentioned not wanting to eat before. Maybe look into it for yourself?
