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.
WATERMELON SUGAR HIGH.
I would cut 2 apples. I asked her to try both... I loved my apples with lemon and salt...the green apples, lemon and salt, ... yum. so I made one zip lock with plain apple, and one with special lemon and salt... I thought that would do the trick.. not too many kids like that specialty.
Apparently the kid liked it.. She finally told her dad she wanted apples salted with lemon... ??? HUH? He was taken by surprise... And the lil bully had her own little bag of apples... and SHE LIKED THEM :) Lunch was good after that.
went to Hawaii and stayed with friend's friends... True Hawaiian.. the ate their pineapples with salt... I wasn't too thrilled with that...
I have never heard of ocicats but, I can see OCI/Ozzie would be easy and I still think Cleocatra is cute - I did think of Cleopatra right away. Boy, that was sad - Ozzie passing away from a stroke but, wow living over 20 years - that's amazing!
It was 118 two weeks ago when I did another "window visit" - I barely made it back to the car as I became nauseated and feared a heat stroke. We broke our record for the hottest summer - YAY! :(
We had two ocicats - the male we named Ozzie, which was easy. Our daughter came up with our girl's name since Cleocatra had an "Egyptian" look to her and not spots. Cleo lived only to age 12, but Ozzie passed away on June 5, 2019 from a stroke. He lived to be over 20 years old.They were half siblings.
Btw, 116° heat=HOT.
@"cwillie," - that's too bad your first time out was disappointing. How strange it must have been to see only two tables seated. Just like you, my husband and I haven't been to a restaurant since March either.
Meatloaf, potatoes and peas sounds so good, I make veggie meatloaf, almost taste
like my mothers own meatloaf without the meat. I will make it this week. Thanks for posting it.
Real cream (handwhipped) on bread & jam or honey for an extra special treat.
@Llamalover47," - I've never heard of anyone putting salt on watermelon. I have two pieces left for tomorrow - I'll have to try it. But when I think about it, people often like a sweet/salty combination so I bet I'll like it. Cleocatra (Cleo)- what a clever name!
Baked potatoes and peas.
Llamalover, Thanks for the reminder-there is watermelon in our refrigerator. What about sugar on the watermelon, anyone?
How interesting about your user name!
And watermelon with salt are 2 things that my maternal grandfather liked.
I am positive that your comment below about the two waitresses crossing paths is hilarious and/or brilliant.
However, we may be waiting awhile until I can figure out what you meant. Thanks for your contribution though!
Tonight, we are having store bought brownie bites, the fudge recipe.
My user name came from the fact whenever my husband and I would get frustrated/upset with caregiving issues - mainly related to my mom's siblings and some personal friends who faded away, my husband and I would always end up saying "no body gets it' and hence my user name was born!
So, I'll just have fruits and water (and hopefully enough will power) for dinner tonight.
