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.
Be safe!
I forgot to salt it, on purpose. And remembering the olden days, when pushing a piece of garlic into the hole I made. As I sliced it, I saw this white thing, and said, "What is this, a tumor in the meat?"
Ha ha ha, I am so forgetful lately. Then I immediately realized it was the garlic. Lol.
And that is the last time I will admit my mental status! It was a whole lot of work, cooking that roast!
Would you share your family recipe?
"The original ingredients should not be over 3-5 days old."
Another source:
"Are leftovers good after 7 days?
How long do leftovers last? According to the FDA Food Code, all perishable foods that are opened or prepared should be thrown out after 7 days, maximum. No leftovers should survive in your fridge for longer than that. Some foods should be even be thrown away before the 7 day mark."
Another take on this is called a Perpetual Stew:
A perpetual stew, also known as hunter's pot, or hunter's stew, is a pot into which whatever one can find is placed and cooked. The pot is never or rarely emptied all the way, and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary. The concept is often a common element in descriptions of medieval inns. Foods prepared in a perpetual stew have been described as being flavorful due to the manner in which the foodstuffs blend together, in which the flavor may improve with age.
Wow, Cwillie! That sounds like what you've got going!
Dessert will be a bit of Culvers Frozen Custard.
I do have a breakfast bread in the fridge.. Harvest Apple Challah. I will toss it in the oven tomorrow morning and bring it up the street for Daughter, SIL and grandkids
I used to like cooking but it is getting stressful to think about what to do to make everyone happy.
My dogs always had the best vet care. So when they had upset tummies for several days, they had boiled chicken and rice.
Like chicken soup without the soup, I had a small portion of chicken and rice.
Next. I will be trying red miso soup.
I couldn't help but comment on your breakfast as it reminded me of my childhood when my mom used to take slices of bread (she may have toasted the bread first - I can't remember :( ) with slices of cheese on it and sprinkled it with sugar then baking in the oven for a couple of minutes until both the cheese and sugar were warmed. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and your post brought back those memories of years gone by. I've been wanting to ask her about it too. The blueberry coffee would have gone good with it if they had such a thing back then. Your "splash of cream" was cute and gave me a chuckle! :)
Oooh, those trips sound fantastic!
