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.
Lemon chicken with rosemary and garlic, will toss in some baby potatoes. Making Spanakopita (spinach pie) and I experimented with a tiramisu I flavored it with lemon curd and used limencello in place of the coffee. It will be great or an utter failure!
Just reading this back..this is a lot of lemon for a self proclaimed Chocoholic!
May be a beer, sausage and sauerkraut.
Be careful with thAt cabbage and kitties, they are know to enjoy their veggies too. I will never forget a time that L was eating a salad, set it down on the coffee table for a bathroom trip. He came back and Macy, the golden, had scarfed down his salad! Shocked the heck out of me.
Half a cooked meatloaf now in freezer in three pieces. Must try some pasta something next. Anybody ever tried the frozen tortellini at the grocery store? Or frozen tamales? Maybe that would be a good idea can take out just what I will eat in one sitting. I really enjoy Marie callender's chicken pot pies. Anybody try those home chef type delivery services? Maybe that would get me more inspired. Wouldn't a food service like that be great if you could order just one or two servings?
I just learned about rutabagas, meatloaf, and a heck of a lot about chicken feet, lol.
Gershun, I wish I didn't feel like eating much. I feel like eating all the time, never sugary stuff, but hamburgers and egg rolls and big, fat, salads with everything in them and lots of prosciutto for snacking. I would like to lose 10 pounds but it ain't happening, not even with working out several times a week. I need to diet, too, if I want to lose some belly fat and I don't want to diet. I really like my food these days, maybe a bit too much. Oh well.
I ate at work earlier and wasn't too hungry tonight so I threw some turkey lunch meat in a bowl around 9pm and put in on my bed, thinking I would snack on it while I surf online. Did I forget I had cats or what? I saw Divo's face down in the bowl when I came back in the room.... debated on whether or not to throw out the whole bowl... decided I'd throw away the top piece and take my chances with the rest of it. Blech.
At least he doesn't like the red cabbage I have in the other bowl and that's safe from him.
Lu I can see it now. That was funny. :)
So weird isn't it? In bakeries they sell Bear claws and in grocery store Chicken Paws, and frog legs, pigs feet.
I imagine there is more meat on the rest of the animals than their hands and feet? Just sayin'
I think these are very stimulating conversations Lu. :)
Just one of the disadvantages of living alone, not a whole lot of variety and many, many leftovers in the freezer.
I guess they are a big seller since people can't keep their paws off of them. :)
Learn something new everyday.
Pigs have wings and chickens have paws, what a crazy world.
Definitely not finger lickin' good. Definitely Not!
Had a neighbor once that would ask my Dad for the chicken feet whenever he butchered the chickens. I always wondered how he cooked them. To each their own.
"Chicken Paws" are what theyr'e called at the grocery store.I didn't know chickens had paws.To some people,maybe they are finger lickin' good,but I'm not one of them.
You know how good bone broth is, right? Well, chicken feet are full of the protein that makes aspic, gelatin, etc. When you cool it down, you have what my house calls chicken jelly which is perfect to put on top of some rice!
We used to raise our own chickens and saved the feet for our pastor's Korean wife and our BVI friends. Everyone loves thick broth. Since hubby was told to go vegan for his heart, we have not had any, but we sure do miss it.
Now I see why you said to report you!
Chicken fingers....
Finger lickin' good!
It's what's for dinner on a full moon, I think.
The chicken feet are served fried as is, you eat exactly what you see.
They are actually really tasty but I couldn't deal with the texture. I also couldn't feel comfortable spitting out chicken parts in public.
Although I am not surprised if chickens did have fingers with all the steroids and antibiotics they are filled with.
My DH cannot eat chicken or turkey bought either grocery or fast food, he is like an antibiotic tester. If it is all natural, he is fine, but if it has some junk in it he gets welps all over face and body for about a half an hour. Itchy. Its awful. So he doesn't eat any fowl unless harvested in nature or we raised them. Needless to say with my fondness of my chickens that I raise, no one eats chicken around here. :)
Just the eggs.
Well! I am so pleased, shocked, really, that I just made tacos and they were incredibly easy ... wait for it... and tasty! I am in shock. The recipe found on “Dinner at the Zoo” was wonderful. Just thought I’d share my breakthrough today!
My fingers don't look like that!
Thanks for the beef stroganoff recipe! Must be comfort food, cause went to bed early and slept all night.
