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.
Ahhhh, music! New Orleans is a great city for music. COVID has changed everything. I am used to live performances in our city.
We have some of the best piano players in the world here. We actually have an annual concert every year dedicated just to piano players and it is awesome!
Music is food for the soul, isn’t it?
Glad your chili turned out well. I love eating a bowl of chili!
Boogie woogie in case you are interested. Wish I could play piano like that!

I make veggie lasagna but I do add cheese, so it’s not vegan. That sounds interesting, Sala. So, what is used instead of cheese?
I don’t eat meat with every meal. I love cheese though! I like the byproducts, eggs, milk, cheese, so not sure that I could commit to becoming a vegan. I do think we consume too much meat and dairy.
Do you get most of your protein from legumes? It’s a matter of learning how to eat differently, isn’t it?
Do you buy supplements to replace certain nutrients?
So comforting, just like a hug from grandma. Wishing I had some pickled okra to go with.
Save some for me! I missed your meal from yesterday but, I would have liked that too - I like your "dollop" of whipped cream description! :)
Roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes, carrots, yellow beans, corn on the cob, lemon cake with strawberries and cream
A special Happy Birthday to your dear mom.
It could have been mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, corn on the cob, and warm pork roast at the dining room table.
However, there was a hostile takeover of my kitchen by hubs.
He was standing at the sink cleaning a pan so I could not rinse the carrots and cook them in a clean pan, nor start the potatoes. A timing delay. Then he takes everything and dumps what I am cooking, so he can change the cooking method to steaming the carrots, potatoes, and corn. That's okay, in an hour he will be able to eat by himself.
Submission is the right not to be offended, or angry, or hurt by his actions.
That's great your mom celebrated her 90th birthday today with you and other family members! So glad she was able to enjoy her favorite soup at the local restaurant - sounds like you all had a wonderful time together.
I have to admit that my mom made the absolutely BEST fried chicken when I was a kid. I don’t have the knack for frying. I suppose because I haven’t done it often.
I like roasted or grilled meats better. I do make stews and soups too. A lot of soups that I make I don’t even add meat. I do put beef in my veggie soup.
I really am not one of the best cooks.
But experienced bbq-ing a whole 'spatch-cocked' turkey once.
It was great, fully done.
When you cook on high, golden brown the top side, then turn it over to the rib side to finish. BBQ whole.
No fancy seasonings allowed, but if you use Seasoning Salt it makes a sort-of browned glazing effect on any meat/poultry. imo.
oops, it's boneless. BBQ gently, then when heat is lower, cook until done using a meat thermometer. Baste with butter.
Great idea! Do we put in on whole or slice it in half? Suggestions for seasonings?
I could look on Pinterest but I would love to hear of any tried and true recipes from the forum. There are great cooks on this site!
Thanks in advance 😊.
