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.
I love pierogi and I make them pretty good. My first husband was Polish and I used to help make them with my former MIL. My favorite filling is cabbage and mushroom. Or farmer's cheese filling with blueberries (these kind not served with onions).
I do mine like my MIL did. Boiled then sauteed in butter with onions and served with a little sour cream.
I grew up making homemade ravioli with my grandmother and aunts and the dough is similar. Ravioli dough is pasta flour (semolina) mixed with regular flour, milk, and eggs. Pierogi is just regular AP flour. I use an egg and milk in my dough because that's how my MIL taught me.
Your road trip sounds like it was fun!!!! I never had pierogies in the east either.
I made it for R tonight. It was easy to put together and he pronounced it excellent. Lots of wheat and dairy, so I couldn't have any, but I often cook just for him.
I'll do it again. 👍👍👍
But tonight I'll be having leftovers.
Did you have fresh sauerkraut and brown mustard?
My mouth is watering, I love a good reuben on rye. Mmmmmm!
Cwillie, how about an omelette, if you can afford the eggs. 😂
We went out had a late lunch , so just snacking tonight.
A friend of mine gave me some parsnips, from her garden, I'm looking forward to having them tomorrow.
Editing: cwillie, good choice
I went with frozen mixed veggies and rice plus a couple of frozen fish sticks.
Does anyone make bubble and squeak - left over potatoes and cabbage and whatever else fried up. I guess what I made was a version of it. Anyway he called it a treat.
Apple Pecan Pie
We are going to need Cwillie to explain to us about Pi day.
Just tried chicken wings in the air fryer for the first time. Shake and bake drumsticks went well, The plain wings are super crispy and still moist inside. I like them with just salt and pepper. So fast and easy. I'll do this again!!!
I'm so happy the weather has turned, the sap is running, and soon I'll be able to visit my local sugar bush to replenish my stock 🍁😄
You're not alone with taking a swig from the bottle on occasion. I am guilty as charged with that.
Marinating pork chops with maple syrup sounds like the most delicious thing in the world. I do enjoy a chop or a nice ham from time to time even though I'm Jewish. I think I might try making some chops with a little maple syrup and bourbon because that sounds like a winner to me.
I just got some real Canadian maple syrup. God knows what it's going to cost now with the new taxes on anything from Canada. Maple syrup is my favorite flavor. I even put a little in my coffee. I make maple fudge which is so good. I will not live without it. If I have to start tapping my own maple trees in the woods I will.
