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.
Even though we're supposed to be on a diet, I think ice cream would be a "cooling factor" for our 85* living room tonight. 🍧 😋
tomato
avocado
pop a tamale in the microwave
when the thermostat still says 90 in the living room
a hot tamale is no Bueno
I need a cerveza 🍺
Or maybe tomorrow.
what’s your recipe for the tomatoes 🍅 and cucumbers 🥒
Anyway Beef Roast..
Not too hungry after lunch, but it satisfied my craving for home made gringo tacos, but it was a salad. Hubs likes his with lots of lettuce and cilantro,, then I get all the meat, which was hamburger.
Sue, wish I had seen your list before I made dinner. Do you add cheese or just sour cream? We did not have any beans or onions in the salad-oops.
Ali, our lunch was so fabulous, (not bragging, it was a fabulous mistake), similar to your healthy dinner, that I would need to go through the trash and find the ingredients on the marinated vegetables, to which I added fresh portobello mushrooms and brown rice, topped with cheese. Did not know what it was exactly, but I am thinking paella`.
The frozen marinated vegetables (included grilled and marinated eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers and other stuff.) were supposed to be served at room temp., like hors d'oeuvres, not heated like I did it. This kind of creativity happens when "The Fork Report" comes on and I get really hungry. Adapted cooking in my big iron pan.
Hubs gets a bit too creative mixing ingredients at times but nothing too wacky.
Maybe I'll try one tonight or tomorrow but, since my Mexican hubby has his own ideas on what tacos are, calling it a gringo salad would be better.
A traditional taco in Mexico only has meat, onions and cilantro in a corn tortilla. Since I add a whole bunch more stuff than that (tomatoes, lettuce, beans, olives, sour cream, salsa, etc.) he would warm up to eating a salad of a different name.
I think I just had supper after a late lunch with my granddaughter. I grocery shopped on the way home then, had a few spoons of hemp seeds, a few spoons of a good probiotic yogurt, a clementine, a small chunk of DF cheese and, of course, coffee and chocolate. Oh, and I forgot , an almond choc covered coconut ice cream bar. 😁😁😁. I can't eat desserts in restaurants.
Golden ~ love the little poem of peas and honey
I thought I'd post my non-glamorous dinner for laughs but I love that you guys shared yours, too.
I'm having onion, tomato, cumber, feta salad, poured a little soy sauce and balsamic vinegar on it, it's a staple for me and it still works, still yummy to me.
yeah, Friday night festa
