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 did have fun! I also had some not so fun times...but I got to know some very fun and interesting people as well!😜
Gershun,
I have had enough hangovers for you and about 4 or 5 other people. Now, all I ever drink is 1 glass of wine with dinner every now & then...drank like a fish in my 20's. Thank God those days are gone!!
Re dieting, I have lost a few pounds. I have to eat low carb normally or I gain weight. Of course, I splurge sometimes (chocolate cheesecake anyone???). Depriving myself doesn't work.
I decided to eat more vegetables during the lock down and found roasted veggies are my faves. Meals, other than breakfast that work best for me are meat/fish/poultry and low carb veggies. I love a salad too but have to include protein of some kind. As we get older we need more protein, not less.
Now with all this talk of food, I am getting hungry!!!
I used to always make myself toast when I got home from a night of imbibing. :)
(I'm kind of impressed you could find it)
Kraft Dinner - Notice that the product in Canada is actually called Kraft Dinner or KD for short and that is indicated on the packaging. That is because most Canadians can recognize a picture of macaroni with the trademark neon orange colouring without being told that it is macaroni and cheese.
Oh yeah, there's a rhubarb pie in there too😉
Turkey burger with rosemary, fresh zucchini, yellow squash.

Tuscan Tofu Scramble with red bell peppers, garlic, baby spinach, nutritional yeast, MatoZest and tomatoes and red onion. Side of blueberries. Infused water with blueberries and watermelon.
My diet starts tomorrow... no really... Today is a family birthday so cake (of course), treats & a beverage (or 2).
I've set my alarm for an early walk (with the birds) tomorrow & by sheer will, I will somehow wake up a salad person too!!
Dinner
Big green salad, cucumbers , tomatoes, radishes, blueberries, and red onion.
