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.

I want what earlybird had!!
I love Kevin! He does have a fun personality. Hahaha, he is not health conscious but he is a sweetheart.
My kids used to complain about it taking longer to shop because I read the labels. We have to. We have to stay on top of ingredients used.
Thanks TN for sharing about Agave. Always something new to learn.
I always think about how our grandparents and generations before ate. They ate ‘real’ food, not all this processed food or fast food.
Everything was from scratch. I prefer cooking from scratch. It taste better and is healthier for us. As far as cost goes, buy less of better quality ingredients. Americans overeat!
Look at our restaurant portions. They are huge. My husband and I frequently share a meal.
If I order a meal for myself I can usually eat on it for three days!
Thanks Golden for your roasted celery! Yummy 😋
It is sad. People are getting health issues at younger ages. Diabetes complicates everything. What do you think? There is a lot of research going on in the field. Do you think we are close to a cure for diabetes?
I have not trie Stevia or Splenda. My daughter uses it. I think she uses Agave. Is that a sweetener? I hear her talk about that too. I got used to no sweetener in coffee and tea. I use sweetener in oatmeal. I put a tablespoon of maple syrup.
My dad had diabetes and I guess I started thinking about not consuming a lot of sugar.
Love iced tea. It’s extremely southern! But I don’t like ‘sweet’ tea. I don’t put sugar in it.
I am a huge coffee drinker but I like tea in the evening to unwind with. So, I drink herbal tea in the evening.
If I drink tea in the daytime I will drink a caffeinated black tea, all kinds. I frequently buy Twinnings. I do like green tea once in awhile too.
I don’t ever use sugar in tea or coffee. Every now and then I will put honey in tea.
Thanks for your suggestions. I will try them.
NHWM,
I'm with your neighbor; I need to get my hair done. It is driving me crazy, but for now, I just clip it up on my head so I don't have to deal with it. My hair is long and has dead ends and the gray is showing, which is making me look order then what I am! 😡
Anyone else like the packaging of Celestial Seasons tea? It’s so pretty! I saw their story once in a documentary. Interesting company. Good tea and marketing, right?
