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.
seabass, rice, veggies and tortillas
still can only eat soft food on one side of my 👄
tonights dinner was intended to be for them, baked salmon(w/rosemary, garlic), some wild rice and hollandaise sauce, and some green beans,
Pineapple upside down cake.
Well I did not have time to thaw the salmon. So that will be Monday
So it was breakfast for dinner.
Biscuits and sausage gravy, a 3 meat and cheese breakfast casserole
And well they still got the cake.
I havent been too hungry lately, so I just had salad.
But right now I am hungry and do not want to eat this late.
Auto correct drives me nuts too. I think there is a way to disable it though.
Balsamic dressing is one of my favorites! We have a food and beverage museum here.
There is a balsamic tasting held there. They also sell it in the gift shop. Some of them are very expensive and are absolutely delicious!
Kind of like olive oil pricing. Some are really expensive but are so very good. We have a Greek festival here where they sell fabulous olive oil. It’s worth every penny!
Creamy balsamic dressing (not creamy balsamic medicine).
Thanks, I like the frozen mashed potato idea.
When there is time.
I gave away 8 potatoes to 3 different neighbors today, and yes, I talked to them.
We also met the open enrollment deadline today. It was hit and miss, as we signed up with an AARP plan by phone. In completing the enrollment, hubs answered "No". So he chose a Humana plan, as I was being quiet in the background, apoplexy to be exact. His CHOICE to pay a$15 co-pay each chiropractic visit instead of zero! ($60-90/ mo. for him.) He says nothing when asked where are we getting that extra amount?
We are keeping the rest of the potatoes.
Or mashed potatoes freezes well.
Make them with chicken broth for an added flavor and less fat.
Loaded baked potato soup!
gotta keep the faith in them because the alternative just isnt healthy to think about .
If the dirt still has more nutrients than toxins, the peel does have loads of nutrition.
So, for lunch, I had 1/2 baked potato, no toppings at all. These are really good potatoes.
I make killer mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Wonderful comfort food, huh?
Ok...
Dinner tonight.
Grandson and I went out on Sunday for Chinese and I had them pack up all of my main, just had soup and egg roll...
So tonight I am heating up the Shanghai Chicken and I went back and bought a quart of the Hot and Sour soup so Grandson and I are having sort of a flashback Wednesday. Oh and I made rice pudding with the white rice that was in the bag. (he loves rice pudding, and I love him so.....)
Some of the healthy changes were made thanks to your advice over the years, Cwilllie.
And I have taken advice from others too.
(My tip for today, substitute plain greek style yogurt for sour cream and you'll never bother buying sour cream again)
Thanks Cwillie.
Potatoes are a good thing!
Contrary to what they tried to tell us back in the 70's and 80's potatoes are good for you, no need to cut them out of your diet. I grew up eating potatoes every day, sometimes twice a day. If you have anywhere cool to store them they will last for weeks, months even - if they start to sprout no worries, just break the sprouts off. I've found that keeping them under a cooler turned upside down on my basement floor works quite well.
Today, my new diet is cutting out everything white.
White rice,
white bread, (no all breads),
white potatoes....
There is only the two of us, so hubs wants to return the potatoes.
My bad that we bought too much. I said they will have to discard them if we return them because it is a food. He could eat a few.
So I suggested we share with the neighbors. He said they would just toss them. I said I will ask them how many they want. He said, "You are going to talk to the neighbors?" I said I will put them outside on a table..... Yes, we are really having this conversation. He wants to return them and exchange them for yams.
"I know, in keeping with the tradition of spreading holiday cheer, I will put them in a bag in their mailbox" With a little note: Put these potatoes in your Christmas stocking instead of a lump of coal! He says, (not being able to understand sarcasm): "I will toss them".
And that is the end of my little Christmas conversation about potatoes.
CWillie, what will you be doing with the lone little rutabega?
Should I go off my diet until the potatoes are all gone?
Send, everyone in my home has been enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers. So nothing new until today.
Turtle pie is chocolate cream pie with walnuts, caramel, chocolate chips and whip cream on it. It is very rich and sweet, but takes care of that chocolate craving! Ummm😳
i mentioned potatoes on here and in a matter of minutes youtube is trying to show me how to microwave a potato .
i sure hope there arent any potato related crimes in my region of the usa any time soon .
i think the us government needs to get with the program and protect us from spying corporations but i dont think its going to happen . big money gets special consideration in this country .
explains why this site doesnt advertise much . theres money to be made in just selling our words and thoughts .
I came home with a giant rutabaga that was left lying undamaged on top of a plowed field. For now it's been tossed in my garden shed, I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do with it later.
too low in acid i suppose .
Amazing how much a shower will improve how you feel.
I might actually get out today..no I have so much to do here in the house and I still feel bad if I expose anyone to this. So clean off the coffee table, wash the floors and do the laundry..that is my goal!
