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.
The only other "fingers" I know cwillie,are chicken fingers I saw at the grocery store.They look like real fingers too,just gross.
Golden, I love my veggies but I don't think I could make one into a whole meal!
I have turned the coolest basement bedroom window ledge into cold storage for fruits and veggies. Wish I had a root cellar.
lu - rutabaga are sometimes called turnips, but are larger and yellow,
Rutabagas are the result of some promiscuous turnips crossing with wild cabbages in the 1600s, and while they contain the genes of both veggies, they’re considered a part of the cruciferous family of vegetables (cousins include broccoli and Brussels sprouts) and pack similar health benefits.

I sometimes make a meal of a baked yam. Might have to try rutabaga.
With the ice and snow here,I sure don't want to get out today,so I was thrilled to find some hamburger in the freezer and a yellow cake mix in the cupboard this morning.Now were all set for dinner and dessert tonight.
I don't know what a Rutabaga is,but it sounds like a Radish to me and I don't think I'd ever want a whole meal of that,but you go Golden.Your'e a healthy eater,I can tell.
Maybe that's why I don't get much GERD. Too much sugar and I don't like it. Give me a raw carrot or a couple of squares of 70% chocolate instead.
Supper last night was a small rutabaga, some crackers and hummus. Every now and again I want to make a meal of rutabaga Weird I know! 😉
But it does have vitamin c, so that is the salad to counter act the canned ravioli. :) According to Send. :)
It is tart, and very thick.
On extra wide egg noodles......
Gershun,
Whenever I need to open a can of that, a salad later can reverse the side effects of the food that was not healthy. How unhealthy is it, cause I eat it often.
Willie, now I'm craving a nanaimo bar.
And then I polished off all the nanaimo bars I'd stashed in the freezer... they weren't quite as good as I remembered, but I ate them anyway. I knew I should have tossed all that stuff 😔
It'll be good on this snowy night and very filling too.That's what I'm making~
Their first clue was the fancy menu with no price. They ordered ordinary food like chicken and steak dinners with some wine. When they finished dining and wining, they got a bill for almost $400. Yikes!!!
I told FIL $400 is my monthly food budget.
Guess I'll be eating most of it myself, as hubs (a non-diabetic) took his blood sugar (he just checks it for info) and it was 130 this morning. :0
Now, another year to diet and to cut carbs. :(
have a margarita where ever you go
and, congratulations on reaching social security age
The suspense is killing me! 😜
Appetisers when eating out can make the whole meal, and allows a wide choice of favorites. I like to eat this way at a restaurant sometimes.
Bringing a friend and sharing gets even more choices.
I bought a some frozen, pre-seasoned wild caught mahi mahi at Costco. Fish thawed and then baked in the oven. Came out OK, good enough, moist and flavorful. But I like the pre-seasoned salmon better, pan fried, but more fishy smell in the kitchen.
I still dream if a brick oven. It's in the plans, but you know how that goes.
