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.
Our fine dining restaurants are top notch!
My favorite burger is in a dive bar that is crowded with people waiting to eat there no matter what time we go. It doesn’t matter if you get there before they open because there is already a line to get in!
Cheaper and definitely better than eating out and getting nasty food!
I don’t mind paying for quality food because the ingredients cost more. Plus, nice restaurants have a nice menu of certain dishes that I may not cook at home.
Once in a while, I enjoy the change of pace and enjoy the ambiance and being served a meal that I didn’t have to cook!
I am with you on choosing local restaurants over large chains.
I am truly fortunate to live in a city that has phenomenal food! We never eat in chain restaurants with mediocre food!
New Orleans is a melting pot of cultures, so we have a wide variety of cuisines to choose from.
I love visiting New York because they also have incredible restaurants to dine in.
San Francisco is another great city for food!
Sorry that you and DH weren’t able to enjoy your meal. Hopefully, your cats won’t get sick! 😝
What are the specialties in your area that you enjoy? I know that you have spoken about the Amish food. Aren’t they good bakers, good pies and baked goods?
Pot roast and veggies. It was pretty good !
LOL 😆, maybe I should just make breakfast for dinner. That’s quick and easy. Plus, I am running low on groceries.
My youngest daughter just completed two diamond art projects. She enjoyed doing them.
Yay! Glad hubby liked the shrimp.
I would eat hubby’s share. I love spicy! My husband is a wuss when it comes to spicy so I eat it alone or with others. My daughter with Crohn’s disease has to be careful with her diet. My other daughter is like me. She enjoys spicy food.
One time I was at a craft fair. The woman next to me asked if a dip was hot. I had just sampled it and didn’t think it was overly spicy, so I told her that it wasn’t too hot.
Oh my gosh! She started coughing, sweating and her eyes were tearing up. The vendor who sold the dip said that it was called, ‘blazing’ and it was the hottest one they make. Obviously, the woman wasn’t used to heat.
I buy the spicy pickles and pepper jelly from the vendors. So good!
Fashion is fun too!
I watched The Devil Wears Prada awhile back on MAX. Fashion is a fascinating industry!
Cooking is an art form too!
My mom and grandmother were excellent cooks. I live in a city that has incredible food. I enjoy cooking. My oldest daughter enjoys baking more than cooking. The younger one enjoys cooking and baking.
I could never be a pastry chef! I admire them tremendously for the works of art that they create.
I bet your uncles are fabulous cooks!
New Orleans is known for it’s French and Spanish history but we have a large number of Italian immigrants here.
I have never been to a home with Italian cooks and had a bad meal. It’s always delicious!
I have no doubt that you cook better than your husband. You’re Italian!
Yummy! Potato skins are delicious!
Not always true, but it was for me.
Italians are the best cooks! I married a handsome Italian man. He’s a good cook. His mom was French and dad was Italian.
Send,
I love the skin on potatoes! My mom never ate it but I like it, plus lots of vitamins are in the skin.
Your dinner sounds yummy!
You can also par-boil the baking potato, then bake it.
I have not given up my microwave, even though others have and say it is not healthy.
