Dear freqflyer,

I am with you on the Boomchicapop brand of popcorn! So good.

Dinner is going to be pork back ribs and mac and cheese.

Sue, you are lucky woman! That meal sounds amazing!

Sue, no microwave popcorn in my house. Never could get it right. Always burnt it so the house would smell bad for hours on end :P

I always buy the already made popcorn. Our household favorite is Angie's BOOMCHICKAPOP Popcorn Sea Salt.

Pork chops with gravy, sautéed onions, asparagus, noodles parmesan, a glass of cabernet and black cherry ice cream for desert. yum!

With husband #1 I cooked for all 35 years so I am thoroughly enjoying hubs #2 doing 90% of the cooking. :)

Not to rain on your parade FF but did anyone hear recently how bad microwave popcorn is for you? (I'm sorry, really) Where did I hear that?

OK, I looked it up....
A report from the FDA indicates that a chemical coating used in microwave popcorn bags breaks down when heated into a substance called perfluorooctanoic (PFOA). Another study has found an acid that can be extracted from the chemical causes cancer in animals and is “likely to cause cancer in humans.” (Care2.com)

I knew I stopped buying it for a reason. Can nothing be simple?

Good news..
ConAgra Foods Statement on Microwave Popcorn. ConAgra Foods would like Dr. Oz viewers to know that Orville Redenbacher's and Act II popcorn is safe and can be part of a healthful diet. Orville Redenbacher's and ACT II popcorn, despite the implication, contain 0 grams trans fat, have no added diacetyl and no PFOAs.May 12, 2014 (from Droz.com)

Whew, we can munch away!

Today I had popcorn for lunch, just didn't feel like preparing anything. Boy, was that quick and easy.

Oh, the main reason I answered on this thread was to see the number of answers roll over to 4400. I am easy to entertain :))

Late lunch was such a difficult time, don't even want to go there for dinner.
Maybe much later, or just some popcorn?

Ebelskivers
A danish dessert, a puff pancake in the shape of a sphere, like a donut hole only sweeter.

After 4 years I am still trying to figure out what ebelskivers are..LOL

Things like ice cream and jello can melt in your mouth and may become too thin when you need thickened fluids. Other days when everyone else is getting ice cream she gets told nope - you get pudding. But I would have given her some anyway if she wanted it.

Yeah, it was burnt too.
Denny' s has a decent hot fudge Sunday.....

Can I ask why ice cream is not on a pureed diet?

That sounds depressingly healthy Send. Maybe some chocolate for dessert?

I cooked this evening with lots of help. Crockpot roast and vegetables, BLT salad, lemon meringue pie. Tired of not doing anything.

Hospital had grilled chicken, scalloped potatoes and salad. Heart healthy cookie and jello. It was good.

C Willie, That’s a terrible selection. I don’t blame your mother for not eating. That’s like mystery meat in the high school cafeteria.

Dinner tonight at the NH was a choice between "butter chicken", steamed spinach and rice or preformed breaded "pork cutlet", mashed sweet potato and mashed rutabaga. Mom got the chicken with pureed spinach and the sweet potatoes because she can't have rice. The sweet potatoes are baked and roughly mashed so they are always dry and chunky... nope, she's not eating that. Spinach puree (for some reason this is on the menu often).... need I say more? She didn't care for the chicken. Dessert tonight was mango but they were not pureed smoothly and she only got about 3 level tablespoons (less the lumpy bits).
I don't know whether I'm more disgusted with the NH for putting out such unappealing choices, mom for refusing to eat or myself for getting p'd off about it.

Dear Send,

The chili sounds fantastic!

Hi Becky,

I love a good lemonade!

It was a small steak and some mushroom ravioli tonight. See what I can come up with the rest of the week. Doctor says I have to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. I see a lot of salads in my future.

We had home made chili. That means I opened so many different cans of beans, chicken, chopped up fresh peppers, and it was really good.
The key to chili is not to eat more than a small bowl, serve with a salad. Do not go back for seconds, no matter how good it tastes!

Today, craving some ice cream pie, the kind with chocolate on top. Wasn't that called turtle pie? Searching....

I checked out the watermelon at the supermarket - $3.99 for a softball sized seedless or $6.99 for a big regular melon. Ah, I'll just eat rhubarb out of my garden.

Mally- Watermelon, I LOVE WATERMELON. Love it for breakfast. Have not gotten to have watermelon in such a long time. I am the only one who really likes it so I rarely get it.
Your meal was way better. I am waiting for ours to grow, but it will be a while. I am going to get some watermelon tomorrow, you have reminded me how much I love it.

Gershun, I just have to say, it is so very frustrating when I cannot post to you, and it is much more frequent only on your wall. Is there a glitch or something?
Been trying to write!
Did you change your settings, or something?
Are private messages not posted as private?

Well, dear sweet Gershun, hope things are ok. What are you having for dinner tonight?
