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.
Though hang on. How many pieces in a "small" container?!
There was a limited supply of brands, often just one brand. I couldn't complete all my grocery shopping there. It also wasn't in the best part of town.
I had to go back to Von's for the stuff they didn't have. Too bad, they were cheap.
As for dinner, hubs said he was SO full at lunch, (huge hamburger on a french roll with all the trimmings. I had half of an English muffin with a slice of avocado), he didn't want dinner. Ha, yeah right!
I was 'going to' make Thai green chicken curry with veggies and white rice BUT, his highness declared that he was "starving" (really?) right this minute and he threw a frozen pizza in the oven. He's out there right now, grumbling about not knowing how to "cut it". hahahaha
You probably won't like salmon cooked the Norwegian way
Poached in a little vinegar water and served with homemade tartar sauce and boiled red potatoes
It was tacos tonight. I had spicy chicken and pork as fillings.
You can't get better groceries for less money in the U.S. You can get more options if you go to a larger grocery chain. You can get more types of cheese, for example, at a Trader Joe's or other larger grocery, but Aldi's has very good offerings for very cheap.
An aldi market opened where fresh n easy used to be
I'm not familiar with them - what's their niche?
I made a fancy salad tonight. I always make salads because they are easy and they agree with me. They had artisan lettuce (that makes me laugh just typing that... it's baby lettuce heads) on sale at Aldi so I bought a couple. Chopped up some artisan lettuce and added sliced button mushrooms (ok, I could've used fancier mushrooms for my fancy salad), green onion, prosciutto pieces and feta. It was good with an Italian style dressing.
I try to get creative with my salads since I eat them so often. It's nice to try different combos, but always have to have protein in them these days. Anyway, it was tasty. I like all the cooking comments, tbh. Who cooked tonight, what did you make??? :-)
I'm sitting bedside with the Viking for a bit and have only had a small piece of candy
I might need to hit the gringo taco stand on my way home but they don't have the radishes jalapeño carrots and green salsa like my other place
I've been reading about a New Orleans deli in downtown that I want to try - they serve gumbo but only on Saturdays
Hubby and I each had a taco of carne asada with hand made tortillas, he had one of pastor (pork)
and I had a taco of chilie relleno (which was 2 tacos because the chili couldn't fit in one.)
We shared a large jamica drink. Total bill $7.00 (US)
They were very tast and I'm stuffed.
Leftover cannelloni will have to wait till tomorrow night.
Bookluvr, too funny about the hot dog.
I had a terrible craving for fried chicken! I always think its a good idea till after I eat it.:-)
Except if you're Book's sis, then you can't cook a hot dog. Sorry, Book! Chili will help, I would think.
