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 never occurred to me! I will try it. Thanks!
Sounds delicious!
Some like it hot! 🥵 Sounds like your husband likes it very hot. I love spicy food. My husband is a wuss when it comes to heat.
Thanks, Golden.
I love cabbage but I have never cooked fritters. Will have to try that sometime.
My husband and I cook together well. My only complaint is that I am faster than he is. He takes his sweet time prepping. I can run circles around him by the time he is done.
send - you could cook pasta ahead of time (when that demon isn't around) and freeze it for later use.
Cabbage fritters again tonight
Hoping the kitchen glitches, criticism, argumentative behaviors pass by soon.
His and mine!
It is not like me to ever throw away food, even if it's not the best tasting.
Putting pasta on the 'do not cook' list for awhile for when I can build up more patience.
And he doesn't even like hot foods, so no clue what he is thinking. 😆
If he cooks again I think I'm going to hide all the peppery spice's
send - I'm so sorry. Sounds like a mess.
Pasta is one of those things that can’t be salvaged if it doesn’t cook properly.
The little kitchen demon turned the heat way down on the pasta,
and after waiting, the timer went off. Not done, and stuck together.
This is an ongoing issue, happens way too many times, so I have to try and save the pasta-it never cooks right or tastes right.
It's going to cost him.
Upset now.
Buy fresh fish. If you do get frozen allow it to defrost in the fridge before cooking it.
I didn’t cook tonight. We ordered takeout, grilled salmon and a salad for our dinner. My husband picked it up on his way home from work.
Our anniversary is coming up and we are going out to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate 46 years together.
pam - I haven't tried the smoked beef ones but I like all the ones I have tried. We must get a grill. Only gas grills/bbqs allowed here.
eva -I've never done fresh tuna though I have eaten it seared. Must try it. How do you prepare it?
Tonight was pan fried fresh salmon, tartar sauce, garlic herbed roasted baby potatoes, peas, wilted cucumber salad.
Me too, love borscht as well,
and fresh salmon, big difference between fresh and frozen.
Today dinner is fresh tuna and quinoa salad and greek salad. Also will make banana bread with dates for hubby, his favorite.
Borscht with the pork, sour cream and the pumpernickel bread. That's exactly how my MIL used to do it. Sometimes she'd get the marbled pumpernickel with rye. It was so good.
How do you do your pork? She'd do a pork shoulder. Boil that meat for a long time with bay leaves, salt and pepper then trim the fat and finish it in the oven with garlic and onion. It was delicious. I haven't had borscht with the pork in years.
Ali - I've taken to only buying fresh salmon. I find there is a big enough difference between that and frozen salmon to make it worthwhile for me. it's one of my favourite foods!!! I buy a large piece and enjoy it both hot and cold.
Lemon meringue cheesecake 🤤!!
Borscht, pork, sour cream... that sounds really good.
I made baked salmon tonight. Simple, easy, and always tasty. I've got to get better at defrosting the frozen fillets so they aren't soggy, though. The key is drainage and paper towels, I'm thinking. Lay them on paper towels on a rack in the frig instead of letting them thaw on a plate. Or I might start buying fresh instead of frozen. It's so convenient having a big bag of individual frozen fillets, though.
Rotisserie Chicken from Costco.
Yes, the Italian sausage is so yummy! I make sausage and peppers over pasta for my Italian husband! So good 😊.
I can’t wait for my bell pepper plants to produce peppers 🫑.
