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 just had a veal weiner and then I'm having Hungarian beef stew for dinner, thanks to my Polish coworker who likes to bring food in to me... which I always find hilarious that she likes to give me all of this food from the Polish deli, or things she makes, considering we do have plenty of food we can make at the restaurant.
I'm getting good at understanding what makes Polish food to be Polish food. You take any kind of noodle or meat in the world, and if you put with cabbage and dill, you made it Polish food. :-) If it's a sausage and you put with cabbage then that's extra-Polish, Polish food.
(hm, how many marshmallows do you think I can fit in a cup?)
My favorite is covered in my favorite veggie, fresh raw organic garlic and tons or organic Mediterranean oregano and basil! I thank God everyday I married an Italian, lol.
We did end up having breakfast tonight.I made fried potatoes,an ham and cheese omelet and pancakes but there weren't less dishes darnit~
Tonight I might make breakfast for dinner,either that or soup and sandwiches...something easy with less dishes.
We had salmon, green beans and a unique blend of mushrooms, onions, poblano chilies and cream. Yum
"Air drying green beans is a way of preserving them that dates back to pioneer times. It was especially popular in the southern United States where they were nicknamed "leather britches." It's a technique worth trying because once dried they keep indefinitely.
The flavor of the rehydrated, cooked green beans are quite good. Especially if you dry them over a fire or wood stove, they have extra dimensions of flavor compared with canned or frozen beans." (www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-air-dry-green-beans-1327543)
but, I’m still trying to figure out green beans and leather jackets ?

I'm just so tired this week, it comes and goes, but it hit hard on Monday after not sleeping well and having an early doctor's appointment, and has kept going all week because try as I might, can't seem to get to sleep early.
I'm eating easy stuff this week, and indulging some cravings. (I can always eat at work but it's not often appetizing to me anymore.) On the way home last night, I asked myself "Self, what sounds good for dinner? It has to be easy and quick and tasty." Self replied "Hmmmm... what about a BLT sub from Subway?" That sounded good so I went to the Subway by my house but they were closed, not sure why. I went to small local convenience grocery and bought bacon and bread and went home and made BLTs.
They were mostly good. The artisan sourdough bread -- which was one of two bread styles at the small local store, the other being French baguette -- wasn't ideal for my BLTs, though. You'd think it would be.... but the crust was so thick and the bread was so chewy... It was like chewing on cardboard to get to the middle part where the nummy bacon, lettuce, tomato was.
I guess the point of buying ARTISAN bread isn't for sandwiches. Not sure exactly what it's for, but it's not for sandwich bread.
Ran strings thru end of season green beans and hung in the barn to dry for leather jackets. Started pickle corn and beets. Finished canning a big crock of sauerkraut.
Bought two bushels of apples to make apple sauce and then apple butter. Things are getting done.
Greens salad with Chicken Sausage. Can't see it ever being a thing on any restaurant menu, but it should be because it's really good. nom
MsMadge,
You might know of the best drive-thru tacos in L.A.?
it's Tuesday already
I think I'll have one of my healthy (not healthy) meals today. Yep............:)
We had our beef tacos last week, so I am defrosting chicken for tonight. We need to use up the cilantro, yellow squash, zucchini squash, and purple onion. Add brown rice-all in one huge pan.
What are you all having, or have you already eaten?
