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.
Baked potato with a little butter, sour cream and small amount Vermont cheddar cheese.
Those spicy mustard greens and the salty pickled is just yummilicious.
I found them at the local oriental market. I recommend them.
I always tease him. How can a person from New Orleans not eat crawfish, oysters and red beans and rice? Everyone eats that here! Well, just about everyone, hahaha. Not my husband!
He eats other seafood. He’s embarrassing! He has brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to crawfish boils before! That’s crazy!
Hubby just woke up! The nurse said he would be tired from being sedated.
My husband is ready to eat something too.
Okay, thanks anyway.
We are happy to have it. Thanks.
Do you remember what spices and curry paste she taught you to use? How wonderful that you had a lady from India teaching you. What did you use? I'd like to do a seafood one, maybe shrimp.
nhwm - I made curries years ago but haven't for a long time. I learned from a lady who had lived in India.
Do you make curry? I haven't ever made it and I love it.
That's what I call a 'dump and pour' cook! It is fun to experiment. Sometimes it comes out great. Good cooks can wing it!
We are grateful. Others have a lot more damage from Hurricane Zeta and sadly there are a few deaths.
Will go food shopping tomorrow. Some places are open, some closed. Zeta made a mess in our state. The storm was predicted to be a cat one storm, ended up being a strong. cat 2 storm, just about a category 3.
Lots of power outages. Some areas will take about ten days to restore.
One good thing is it was a fast moving storm that blew through quickly. Now it's clean up time in the city. We are used to it. Debris everywhere.
I made a spicy creamy coconut milk pumpkin soup with a splash of lime juice. Couldn't do it again but it was good and I have left overs for the next couple of days. I had some roasted opo squash with it and a cassava flour tortilla. I'm stuffed.

Gee, gloves would come in handy then.
Didn’t realize that they bled.
NHWM, they bleed when you cut them. Easily cleaned up, you do want to wear gloves to save your nails though.
