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 took this long to register what a crockpot liner would be.
Will be looking for that on Amazon.
Thanks for your excellent advice!
Cwillie, Really, hoping that you get better soon. We found Zinc to ward off the soon and coming cold/flu season. Glad that you are keeping your symptoms at home.
Have some tea with lemon.
Apricot jam on a saltine cracker?
An entire bottle of nyquil?
Is your avatar Sneezy or Grumpy? I have just the thing!
Feed a cold, starve a fever!
Or is it, starve a cold, feed a fever?
Oh, I know, Carve a chicken, feed the dwarf!
Don't you have a nice bit of sausage in the freezer you could boil?
I'm with you guys the preparation and clean up is not my favorite part. Send, hope the chicken was good.
Hi Cwillie,
Hope you feel better soon.
Hi Luckylu,
Glad you are trying to make your mom's delicious recipes. I think that is a wonderful way to honor our parents.
I have no idea what to have for dinner tonight. I might have to head out and grab something.:-)
And Ali,I am going to check into those cooking classes.That would be fun to me,but in the meantime I'm still trying to whip up some of the dishes Mother cooked that we had growing up.
My brother said it is Mom's fault that he is so fat.because she made such tasty food.
When I was in high school, I worked for a "fancy" grocery store in downtown Indianapolis and they had cooking classes. It was pretty neat how the store made a classroom with all these range top stations. I'd go to an event like that. I hope you find one you can go to, Lu. Why not...? Learn a new recipe and have a fun time.
Really, that was a long 4 hour mess, two pans plus crockpot, too many utensils!
What a mess, cleanup is torture.
I totally forgot to share what we learned tonight. We had corn and potato soup. We also had rice bowls with salmon, avocado, cucumber and seaweed. Different.:-) The dessert was mixed fruit in condense milk and whip cream poured over vanilla ice cream.
Trying to keep up the momentum. I appreciate the encouragement. Take care my friends.
I definitely see some classes for turkey dinner and different desserts and sides. And soups! I love a good soup. Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons so I'm looking forward to see what they have.
Hi Blackhole, I love pizza! I'm a fan of the thin crust stuff. Very hard to resist on my end.:-)
Are they teaching Fall receipes?
Myself, off to drive dH to work. He wants to be late, I have a chiro appt. at the same time and cannot be late. This feels stuck because it will be my fault if he is late and loses his job. I will be needing comfort food, a good attitude, and plans for the future.
Right now, we both are going to miss lunch.
Grabbing a banana on the way out.
Tonight I am off to another cooking class. See how it goes.
The frittata sounds good that the chef made tonight.Do people take notes?
You take care and have a good night too!
Thank you for saying so. I go to my cooking class at the grocery store. They want people shopping at the store so they run quick one hour classes on Tuesday nights. I've also found a cooking class at the culinary school in town, but that is more expensive. I find the grocery store cooking class to be more reasonable.
I love chips and dip and chocolate chip cookies and ice cream! Those are my favorites.
The chef at the cooking class broiled the veggies and tofu and made a spicy peanut sauce to drizzle on it. She also made a frittata with spinach, onions and Swiss cheese. I met two ladies that have been going for the last 8 years. One lady in her 70s, said its the only way she gets to socialize with people.
I'm going to do more searching tonight and see what other classes I can find.
Take care Luckylu and have a good night!
Thanks for telling me what was in your Napoli salad.It sounds yummy to me,but my dH hates tomatoes and won't eat them.It makes cooking harder for sure since there's tomatoes in so many good recipes.
Tonight,were just having soup and a sandwich,cottage cheese,chips and dip and chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.That's easy and so filling and maybe tomarrow,I'll do spaghetti.You,Black hole and Send have given me some good ideas.Thank you !
Sorry to hear things didn't turn out, but at least you tried! Its always worth trying something new. :-) About Napoli said, its mixed greens with cherry tomatoes and chick peas, shredded carrots and balsamic vinegar dressing. Its my sister's favorite.
I didn't have much luck with dinner tonight. It was a bowl of green grapes. See how tomorrow goes.
Hi Send,
I love tacos! And the variety is amazing! I should try and make some tacos this week.:-)
So easy, and I don't mind repeats, but the tortillas are gone now.
Casual dining, but maybe I am still hungry.
Sad to say,my dinner concoction didn't turn out very tasty and I'm never gonna make it again.I'd have much rather had your pizza,but what is Napoli salad?I have never heard of it.
Maybe we'll do pancakes tomarrow .That sounds good to me.
Please let us know how it turns out, but I like the mix of chicken and mushrooms.
Hi Send,
I love ginger, so the soup sounds good to me. I love some fruit in a salad, too.
Family came over tonight, so I ended up getting pizza and a Napoli salad. It seemed to be a hit. I might still have the pancakes later.:-)
