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.
What is for dinner! To have one night where we all show joy, and do something small for us "comfort food". Remember everyone cares, and everyone needs love!
Thank you BoniChak
That reminds me, when I was a little girl, I used to like this great dish that my mother made (87 Alzheimer's, in Memory care), it was called Bon Ami? I know that is closed to the cleanser. But it was a mixture of chinese noodles, egg soufle sliced; tomato slices; sliced ham; soy sauce to taste, and bok choy. It was served on a huge platter, and all of my family had this each 10/26. This continued until my mother was 80, and I know she would laugh and smile if I told her about this, which I will tomorrow. My mother was all about comfort. She was the comfort for all of us, that is happy. :-) I am going to ask my sister the recipe and make it tomorrow!!!!
with the electricity you use i dont think canning is a real bargain , its just soothing to have plenty of preserved food on the place in case there were problems with supply .
I'm going to try another new recipe tomorrow, for artichoke mushroom beef stew. I'll bet the biscuits would go with that, too. Or I could use some lefse I bought at the state fair.
Yesterday Barb and I went to the state fair. We walked and walked and walked. It is pretty hard to balance the extra exercise and the out-of-the-ordinary eating and the insulin amount needed, but I did pretty good. My favorite food was fried veggies on a stick. (With a tempura-like batter.)
i had garlic bologna sandwiches tonight . found a vine full of tomatos by the kitchen sink drain . yay .
edna had forgotten we cant go truck riding . she said we were out of there and she needed to go to the bank . i had to explain differently to her . " sheeitt " she says . thats edna most extreme language . f*ck the people who imprisoned her . thats my MILDEST language for them .
Salmon from Costco, mashed potatoes, Dole chopped salad (bbq ranch tasty!) and the infamous tomato basil mozzarella salad.
im the can - man yes i can yes i can ..
done ate my 11 quarts of cherries . love ( d ) those things .
I didn't have to cook tonight. Granddaughter's husband invited the family over for dinner to celebrate GD's birthday. He might have been inspired by the cookout his BIL gave for his wife's bd a few weeks ago. The pasta, marinara sauce, meatballs, and Italian sausage were fine. What I liked even better was establishing some expectations for men in the family or potentially in the family regarding wives birthdays. (3 grandkids brought dates.)
Tomorrow is set aside for baking all day.
meh ..
The first time I made the salsa I coughed and coughed and choked while the jalapenos and tomatillos were boiling. This time I knew enough to open windows and put on the exhaust fan. I was hugely glad to be able to shut the windows and turn on the AC when they were done!
Got a small hanger steak marinating and will make a salad to go with it. Yes, Moms at sisters tonight. I Love to eat in silence!
