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.

Gee, gloves would come in handy then.
Didn’t realize that they bled.
NHWM, they bleed when you cut them. Easily cleaned up, you do want to wear gloves to save your nails though.
Bridger - hope you hubs is OK.
How is your husband? Has he lost his sense of taste or smell? I hope not.
I suppose that I was just being a picky kid not wanting to eat them.
It also looks like the canned ones are fine to try. I like other pickled veggies, especially okra and green beans. Those are yummy.
Ordered a glass of wine! 🍷
Talk later...enjoy your dinner everyone. Thanks
Another bowl Beet soup, salad. noooo dessert.
Beet soup was great. Time consuming but worth it. It took about an hour with prep work and simmering the soup. I used the peeled, cut and cooked organic beets from Costco's which was fine. The soup was tasty and filling. Family liked it very much. I added a dollop of sour cream to mine. I would make it again. I usually create my own soups but this one was a good recipe and first time I made beet soup. I like canned beets too. I buy fresh beets occasionally but do not like the mess and it is time consuming.
Sounds interesting. I bet it’s a beautiful color too!
Grandmothers are wonderful cooks!
I love all kinds of soup. I have only tried roasted beets. They were good. I remember seeing canned beets served a lot when I was younger and for some reason they didn’t appeal to me.
The soup sounds interesting. Is it made with fresh beets?
I have never had pickled eggs or beets. I can’t imagine what they taste like. How long do they last? Do you store them in the fridge? I like pickled okra and green beans. I have never done any pickling but I love buying items from my farmers market.
I eat eggs. I ate roasted beets for the first time in a restaurant recently and liked them. I used to shy away from beets. I wouldn’t touch canned beets. They look gross! LOL Maybe I haven’t had them prepared correctly.
I won’t eat canned cranberry sauce. Yuck! I love homemade cranberry relish. I haven’t made it but I enjoy eating it. I love the color of cranberries and beets.
Nature has such beautiful colors! My grandpa grew eggplant and the purple color is lovely.
Aren’t beets loaded with vitamins? I eat tons of veggies and vegetable soup is one of my favorite soups to make. Do you make onion soup? I love that too. I recently made potato soup, another good one.
I almost lost my appetite because I love spicy brown mustard on my sandwiches. I accidentally grabbed chocolate syrup and poured it on my last brioche roll. Had to start over with whole grain bread. Oh well...
The bottles look similar and were next to each other in my fridge.
