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.
It started with a salad kit Costco sells ... Taylor's Farm Asian Cashew Chopped salad. That includes 2 kinds of cabbage, carrots, celery, cilantro, cashews, sesame seeds, almonds, and wanton strips. I added tomato, cucumber, chicken breast strips, and bacon. The dressing that comes in the kit is sesame ginger. Almost worth getting a Costco membership for on its own!
Later I'm going to whip some cream and have it over fresh raspberries and blueberries.
Very good choice!
Jeanne, you could make liver and onions sound good the way you serve it with great things and write it up like a foody magazine.
In-N-Out is starting to depend on us for support! Again, late lunch, 3 p.m.
We, (my husband and I), love it.
Tonight I had grilled pork chop on a stick. Cold chocolate rum raisin bread pudding with whipped cream. Lightly battered deep fried veggies, and warm chocolate chip cookies. All eaten while walking around at the State Fair. And the woman I was walking around with was also walking around the fair grounds with me more than a half century ago!
We lamented that now that we have cash to eat anything we want, and we are old enough and wise enough to call a moratorium on healthy eating for one day, we just don't WANT to eat everything we see! Sort of like youth is wasted on the young -- money in the pocket is wasted on old ladies at the fair!
Add mashed potato. Mix it all together in the pan and press it down so that the base of the pan is covered – Now you fry it a bit like a pancake it shouldcatch slightly on the base of the pan before you flip it. It’s the bits of potato that catch in the pan that define the term ‘bubble and squeak’, Cut into wedges and serve.
I have brown sauce on it so a bit like your A1 sauce - scrumptious
Have it your way.
Wishing I had some cornbread, pancakes, or what, I don't know.
Last night was beef stroganoff loaf from the Rhodes web site. It is a great hamburger mixture baked inside bread dough. And a lovely green salad with cucumbers, avocados, pistachios, and a home-made dressing with parsley and avocado. Hmm ... wonder if there is any left. Gotta go check. Thinking of it makes me hungry. :D
I did say she was lucky I even heard her at stupid o'clock let alone making her a meal in the middle of the night ....her reply...yes but you like cooking don't you and this is nice. SCREEEEEEAM
Daughter/border went to Farmers' Market this morning (while I slept) and I'll roast all kinds of good veggies for tomorrow -- with just a hint of olive oil.
I've got a pound cake in the oven now. Should be out about my bedtime.
Mincemeat pie, is that what Jude was talking about? My mom may have made this when we were growing up, but I've never seen it since. She also made pecan pies, now that I am older these are good. Her best pie was lemon merangue, but I did see her fuss and even throw ouf the merangue if it wasn't perfectly light golden brown.
I am now fishing the prep work on Friday's dinner, which will be a hotdish I've made since the 60s and fried cabbage with bacon as the side dish. (Cabbage planned ahead from last night. Gotta have raw cabbage on fish tacos, ya know.)
