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.
Had a shop quiche last night. Was just awful, like smooth baby food or set custard with mild cardboard for pastry.. but the steamed broccoli, cauliflower & a simple salad of red capsicum, mini roma tomatos & avocado was very good.
Steak & chip night here. Happy hour starts in 55 minutes 😁🍷
No more bad news watching tonight. Comedy instead.
Watermelon for desert!
Can you search for NHWM so that we can send a message? Without a post to click on, is there a way to search?
Italian pasta with a French twist, red sauce had a small amount of unsalted butter. Delicious recipe.
Oops, and watermelon for desert.
This is not diet food!
Nightshade Vegetables
Eggplants, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes are all members of the nightshade family. These vegetables contain the chemical solanine, which some people claim aggravates arthritis pain and inflammation. Tobacco is another nightshade plant.
Don't shy away from chocolate.
Some kinds of chocolate contain high amounts of flavonols. (White chocolate isn't one of them.) These antioxidants may help control blood pressure and fight cognitive decline. Don't go overboard, though. An ounce of dark chocolate has 155 calories.
So, I am having some more chocolate!
Potatoes and eggplant cubed tiny, sauteed in olive oil.
Scrambled eggs on top.
Campari Tomatoes and parsley as a garnish.
Needed some comfort food.
Blueberries and cherries for desert.
Pamzi, your breads sound delicious.
3 loaves of pina colada bread , and 2 loaves of chocolate zuchinni bread! And 4 loaves of banana bread to top it off! Freezer is filling nicely with stuff for "later"
