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.
Coffee is a biggy for me, some tea, and some diet pop. Just hot water with lime or lemon is good too.
Sister would have smacked you for that error in spelling! Hahaha 😂
Me too, when I goof! Sometimes it is typing too fast and sometimes autocorrect is evil! LOL
I haven’t thought about this in years! I have to tell you a funny wine story.
Our daughter was about six months old. We went on vacation to California.
We flew into San Francisco, and traveled all over to different areas in California, including Napa and Sonoma wine country.
We were enjoying a wine tasting. I don’t drink a lot and I guess the wine sampling creeped up on me.
My husband was holding our little girl. It was time to feed our daughter but instead of placing her bottle of formula in our baby’s mouth I accidentally put the bottle in my husband’s mouth! Hahaha
He looked at me and said, “Honey, that is enough wine tasting for you!”
That is funny! A little Bailey’s at your mom’s age is nice.
I love all kinds of tea. Green tea is great!
My mom loved Bailey's. When she was in the nursing home I gave the worker's a bottle to keep for her and asked they give a tiny bit now and then. Most of them were Filipino and I don't think they even knew what it was. They would ask me "Should we give Jean The Baileys" I got a kick out of it.😊
Right now I'm sipping a green tea. Does that count?
Let’s have a change of pace. I will go first. Of course we can include non alcoholic drinks! I love my coffee and tea!
I am not advocating boozing it up people! Hahaha 😂 I don’t drink this in one night! I only drink once in awhile.
Wine
Gin and tonic
Beer - preferably an Abita Amber
Vodka and whatever, usually cranberry, sometimes orange or pineapple juice.
Cold nights, rare here - brandy
I’m Irish so once in awhile an Irish coffee!
Oh, yes! The ruler! Can’t forget that, right?
I wish that I could write with both hands. I always thought that was cool!
Yes, I did have my favorite nuns that were wonderful. Mine was our music teacher. She rocked on the piano! We learned to sing fantastic harmonies! I loved Chorus!
Sister was always smiling when she played piano and sang. Her heart was all in when she taught us to sing. I dearly loved her.
Of course we learned all of the music from Sound of Music! Good memories! Also, Mary Poppins, every patriotic song, etc. She actually had a very large repertoire of music that she taught us.
I knew what you meant. Autocorrect screws up on my phone constantly! Grrrrr.
I have to giggle because I went to Catholic school and we got points off for any misspelled word!
The nuns would circle it in red! Oh my gosh! The penmanship drills used to drive me crazy! LOL
Just took a screen shot.
Nothing smells better than an apple pie baking! Hahaha, you threw the crust!
My daddy made them many years ago but I was too young to think about asking him to save the recipe for me.
Mom made fabulous cakes but she didn’t make pie. Grandma made the icebox lemon pie that had the graham cracker crusts.
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter chilled and diced
1/2 - 1/3 cup ice water
Combine flour and salt
cut in butter until resemble coarse crumbs
add water make into a ball and gently kneed but do not over kneed, want crust to be flaky and light
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 hours overnight
Butter 9 in glass pie plate
Bake 350 degree oven until light golden brown
Note: Dough can be split for two crust pie or single use and any leftovers can be used for a turnover.
If you find it, please post it.
Are they good? Have never bought one. Yes, I could do that. I am used to cooking everything from scratch.
Yum! I like quiche, all kinds, broccoli/cheese, spinach, Lorraine, seafood, etc.
Have you made one? I have only done a frittata, crustless quiche because I don’t know how to make a pie crust. I am intimidated by pie crust. I should learn how to do it.
The only crust that I have ever made was a graham cracker one and that won’t work for quiche! Hahaha
It is great for cheesecake though, which is my youngest daughter’s favorite dessert. New York cheesecake is the best!
Broccoli cheddar quiche, coconut pecan chocolate chip cookie, Italian coffee. all from a fine café /tea room. I was the only person in the café.
Oooooh, one of my favorite Shark Tank shows was with the two young college grads that were excellent entrepreneurs in launching their ‘cricket’ chips!
These young women had traveled extensively and appreciated their diverse cultural experiences. One being, eating crickets for protein.
They ‘Americanized’ their consumption of crickets by coming up with a ‘cricket’ chip recipe! The panel claimed that they were tasty.
So let’s all crunch on some cricket chips, right? Well, it’s a normal food source for other parts of the world.
My husband says during his travels to China for work that they eat bizarre foods that we would never try. When they took him out for dinner he tried it. Some he liked, some he felt was disgusting!
And then there's cricket flour.... (no thanks) 🤣
It is a wonderful source of protein. Protein doesn’t always have to come from meat.
