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.
What you all call cottage pie we call shepards pie,, I love it! Comfort food at its best!
i get a kick out of listening to the sob stories of the freedom challenged . they dont seem to realize i can go to the DOC website and get the ' rest of the story ' ..
one poor fellow is in prison over drug residue in the corner of a baggie .
( also 3 different occasions of driving after lifetime suspension , two instances of resisting arrest and a residential burglary )
i like to know what mentality im dealing with out there . i'll know theyre agitated before they know that i know .
" joey wont eat leftovers " .
that is such a stupid statement i'll probably have it ringing in my ears for as long as i live .
" joey's mother is a retard and thats why joey is so freakin ignorant " would be a more proper statement .
gaaa .
my blood pressure ..
4 . 50 for a 40 ounce beer ? in their dreams .
7 bucks for a pack of smokes ? thats one dumb sob who cant find a way around that .
thats why my ( ex ) friend betsy and i are on the outs . i could throw handfuls of money at her but she wouldnt do anything to modify her carelessness . you know whats said about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results .
it shorts my brain out , i cant take it .
it sure looks good .
Now Krispy Kreme, yum, yum. A second on your lips, a lifetime on your hips.
to me that means people are going to be brought in for questioning again . the questions will be designed to trip up and pit one against the other ( my understanding of this process ) . they arent going to remember their bs stories from three years ago but the detectives will have it not only documented but strategically arranged and rehearsed . interrogation is extremely scientific sht and they wouldnt be trying it again unless they have a strategy . i feel they sense a weak target in the camp . they may have some jaw dropping new ammunition too .
in the usa the detectives are allowed to lie . i'll bet theyre good at it too . :)>
Pho for dinner. Love vietnamese food and the soup makes me feel healthy. Everywhere you go people are hacking and sneezing, so I needed an immunity boost to quell the OCD😁.
the turkey manhatton ( sp ) sounds good .
ive pork rib tips thawing . i just boil them to tender and dip them in bbq sauce .
thought insertion . powerful stuff .
town has been avoided , im going to have a cold beer .
" those donuts and bee eer , thank god i aint quee eer " .
high oven temp is the rising agent ( internal steam ) . they become hollow tubes .
ya squirt them out of a bread bag with the corner cut out in ( in order to keep the dough as wet and light as possible ) . thats what i did on the weekend mornings when i wasnt building the house , working full time or being a worthless alcoholic .
think ' apple fritters ' . i wish i had of earlier .
I just made a big ass diner style breakfast. Hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, toast Community Coffee with real half and half . Some blueberries and really good oranges I bought yesterday on the side to give me the brief illusion of eating healthy.
However, reading about Captain's donuts, I now have doughnut lust and may have to go on the prowl for some. For breakfast dessert, fruit be damned. Krispy Kreme, Dunkin, Winchell's and a grocery store chain that has really good ones, all within a few blocks of me. I've never tried making them myself before..maybe will sometime. Sound yummy!
me n the boys called one ' ratchet jaw .
the other was ' scream jean ' . ( a burly , bigfoot looking specimen . )
the oldest son would answer the phone then walk into the living room mimicking one or the other ( wordlessly ) .
he'd either be twisting an imaginary racket at his jaw or crashing stifflegged into the room like the abominable snowman or something .
if the ex hates my guts ( and she does ) i wear it like a badge of honor .
i took on the hobby of ' proportion ' years ago . to make dinner for 4 people and count on no leftovers , several things have to be considered .
how hungry is everyone ?
is it good enough theyll want seconds or thirds ?
ie; chilidog night . was common for one of the boys to ask me " only a three dog night ? " .
there was a lot of humor in our home . families grow apart and often go their own ways . better to have the nice memories than not i s'pose .
One question - what do you do with all the food? Even a small batch of donuts is a lot for one person.
not bad considering its been 25 years since ive fried a donut .
got the krispy kremes second rising . with such huge gas pockets i dont see how they could come out bad .
i feel pretty good this am . ive made strides in my home and my ' act ' in anticipation of the eventual sledgehammer of justice . many people are going to be blindsided -- i dont think im one of them .

" i dont wanna to change the world and i dont want the world to change me " .
im not a big fan of ' town ' anymore . i took the forestry job 3 months ago to reverse the isolation i was living . three months later i see the isolation in a different light . i should pour buckets of nails down the driveway to ensure the isolation . :)>
layer sliced potatoes in a rectangular Pyrex dish with some butter, Lipton onion soup (package) and water - bake covered at 350 for about 45 minutes or until tender with a fork
Mexican food is always a good choice.
Send- potatoes can be fixed so many ways. DH loves him some potatoes. He thinks it is THE only vegetable there is.
I forgot to tell you all. I finally got my steam mop.
I love it.
I spent most of yesterday doing all the floors.
Thank you all for discussing it, I can't see how I ever lived without it.
It is great!
