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.
They are very easy to heat up and taste good with not a lot of effort
They price out better than buying freshly made ones with a lot less effort if one doesn't have the effort.
peanut butter chips and peanut butter fudge 😋
and I have a coupon
you deserved a food binge
I had a bag of Fritos, organic cherries, yogurt and blueberries
Yes, a healthy dinner indeed! :)
Did I mention that I have been eating really healthy lately and working out regularly for the last two weeks? I guess I was due a food binge. I was...........right? Please say yes Gershun, you deserved a food binge (even if you don't mean it)
Honey eh?
Do you know the Ogden Nash poem?
I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.
I had a couple tablespoons of honey for dessert, that was nice.
used to celebrate mom's birthday there
they'd print her name on the daily menu as a souvenir
the Viking's 88th birthday !
yogurt and berries
Sue, I am with you on bone broth. It is worth it.
have some for me
It was good but 15+ ingredients makes prep time a nightmare, even though it cooks quickly in the wok. The kitchen was a disaster.
At our house the rule is whoever cooks, cleans up too 😝 so I got KP duty too.
I then sat my rump down and didn't move til bedtime.
New blender came Friday, gazpacho made, mmmmmm!
"Remember, bone broth is rich in minerals that support the immune system and contains healing compounds like collagen, glutamine, glycine and proline. The collagen in bone broth heals your gut lining and reduces intestinal inflammation."

So now there's a REASON to get the ham hocks for the soup. Plus I like the marrow inside but I'll agree, it's a mess to take off the petty amount of meat. However the meat has better flavor than any ham steak could ever hope for. The darned things are sky high in price so I usually don't get them anymore but now I can justify the cost for the sake of my "intestinal health". A few drops of liquid smoke makes up for the lack of flavor of the ham steak, IMO.
Not that I can remember when I last needed an Oxo cube, either.
