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.
@"cwillie," - that's too bad your first time out was disappointing. How strange it must have been to see only two tables seated. Just like you, my husband and I haven't been to a restaurant since March either.
Meatloaf, potatoes and peas sounds so good, I make veggie meatloaf, almost taste
like my mothers own meatloaf without the meat. I will make it this week. Thanks for posting it.
Real cream (handwhipped) on bread & jam or honey for an extra special treat.
@Llamalover47," - I've never heard of anyone putting salt on watermelon. I have two pieces left for tomorrow - I'll have to try it. But when I think about it, people often like a sweet/salty combination so I bet I'll like it. Cleocatra (Cleo)- what a clever name!
Baked potatoes and peas.
Llamalover, Thanks for the reminder-there is watermelon in our refrigerator. What about sugar on the watermelon, anyone?
How interesting about your user name!
And watermelon with salt are 2 things that my maternal grandfather liked.
I am positive that your comment below about the two waitresses crossing paths is hilarious and/or brilliant.
However, we may be waiting awhile until I can figure out what you meant. Thanks for your contribution though!
Tonight, we are having store bought brownie bites, the fudge recipe.
My user name came from the fact whenever my husband and I would get frustrated/upset with caregiving issues - mainly related to my mom's siblings and some personal friends who faded away, my husband and I would always end up saying "no body gets it' and hence my user name was born!
So, I'll just have fruits and water (and hopefully enough will power) for dinner tonight.
20oz seems like a big steak, until you start eating that thing. Then it doesn't seem nearly as big😀.
How are you drying it? Maybe I can help. Are you drying it in a dark room with salt or without salt? Are you trying to age it or preserve it? Or both? Send me a pm if you want? I am sure I have a cookbook around here some where on how to preserve meat.
ANY tips that you wish you had while doing it?
I am trying it for the first time and nervous as can be. I don't want to ruin a large prime rib.
ANY help is appreciated, thank you!
I was just trying to figure out what to serve with the fried chicken we are having, yep baked beans and coleslaw. Thank you for the help 😁
Btw, "Twinkies" keep *supposedly* FOREVER & you keep put them in your emergency kit.😁
"Well, he's eaten it!"
But he lost his chance.
Now, he says, he wanted me to have it, after it sat there two days.
Using butter in the brownies, and the 'cake-like' recipe (two eggs) is so good!
Sharing has it's challenges, but I am not going to martyr myself
so he can hoard!
Did you see an ant crawl on that brownie?
The icing story was so very funny Bratty! Lol. The icing went wrong? I should stop now. Is there anything for dinner?
Llama, I cannot hoard or save food for later anymore. I will forget that I have it. Hubs will find it and move it. Years later, it is expired in our emergency kit. And just when one needs it.....it's not there.
Ok, going to eat it now!
Does this sound appetizing to anyone? "Go ahead and eat it, it won't hurt you." 🙄🙃😏🤤😜
