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.
Have you ever done a pork roast in a crockpot? Once in awhile I do. Either way is good, oven or crock.
(now that's definitely a first world problem)
Oooooh, I love cannolis! If you ever get to New Orleans please visit Brocato’s bakery.
It’s one of those places that has been around for a long time! My mom went there as a child for gelato. Back then it was in the french quarter. It has relocated to the midcity neighborhood on Carrollton Ave.
If you go please let me know! I love that place. They also have fantastic Italian espresso! Great spot!
Sounds like you had a variety of goodies! 😊
So glad that you liked it. I love making soup. It’s soothing to me for some reason to cook soup.
I made your soup recipe tonight for dinner. It was so good. My mom and niece loved it. It is almost gone. Thanks again.
Fun to cheat and eat like that once in a while. Until the bellyache starts🤢.
Broccoli and cheese soup recipe from NHWM. served with garlic and butter croutons. Soup was delicious. I added a little nutmeg.
Your warm wishes mean so much.
Llama, I am counting on those prayers! Thanks 🙏.
Beatty,
Don’t ever lose your wicked sense of humor. I love it!
I am meeting my cousin for lunch today. She is 11 months younger than me.
Catching up with a couple of friends later over coffee.
I know things have not been easy this year & you are still in tough times so it's extra nice to mark the special days.
Hope you find some special moments to enjoy on your real birthday too.
(That's what the kids would say... my party-birthday & my real-birthday).
🤗🎈🎂🍷
I do pray for your husband's treatment.
Oooooooh, I love the goodies! Yum!!!
We were told that prostrate cancer is the most common cancer for men. We were told the success rate of being cured is good. I think my husband chose the better choice, radiation over surgery.
At first I was numb. I didn’t want to believe it. I couldn’t even talk about it. I accepted it and am hoping for the best outcome. We do like the doctor and his nurse is a sweetheart.
His cancer is aggressive but the MRI has shown that it hasn’t spread so we are very hopeful.
Still, I have to tell you that we are very anxious for it to be behind us. I pray everyday! I thank God for my family and I ask for the treatments to be successful. Please pray with me if you don’t mind.
Oh, the exciting teen years! Wait until they start driving! Oh gosh, when my girls started driving I think I got a million new gray hairs! LOL Those are fun years.
You are right to cherish them 😊. It always makes me smile when I hear of parents telling their kids how much they love them. I do the same.
Sending good thoughts for your husband's treatment.
We do miss our kids. Don’t we? We talk on the phone all the time, but it’s not the same as seeing them though.
We have to wait until my husband finishes with his cancer treatments. He gets his markers placed for targeting the radiation soon, on the 30th, then 40 radiation treatments. Hopefully, it will go well and then we can fly out to Denver for a visit.
My daughter called me earlier to get a recipe. Oh my gosh, she’s very smart, was an A student but God help her in the kitchen! She proceeds to tell me that she doesn’t know how to chop an onion! Geeeeeez, I told her to invest in a food processor. LOL
Polar,
How many daughters do you have? I have two.
They are both daddy’s girls. I told my husband that is why he has had two shoulder surgeries. He always put them on his shoulders to see our Mardi Gras parades. He was a great dad to them while they were growing up.
Hope you will see your youngest daughter soon, maybe over the coming holidays. I'd miss my daughters, too, if they moved so far away.
