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.
For our dinner tonight,I decided to surprise my dH with a concoction Iv'e made up.It's in the oven now and I hope it's edible.I took chicken and this alfredo sauce and put it with mushrooms and mushroom soup and a little red onion and some Italian spice stuff I found in the cabinet and mixed it with wide noodles and now I'm baking it.I have no idea why I thought of this one and I doubt I could duplicate it,if I tried to make it again.I just hope it passes,Otherwise,I'll have to head up to McDonald's I guess.
I would fall over and faint if the hoca served anything that extravagent! Good job getting every last drop in mom's mouth 😄
Blackhole
Yes, you make some real comfort food
Maybe when the weather cools I'll get a little honey baked ham and make mom's old recipe for au gratin potatoes and take it to her at hoca - they were yummy and she used to joke and call them au rotten
Did your Mom get any food down lately?
Or was it delivered fresh by a drone? All hot and bubbly, browned on top scalloped potatoes. Was there cheese on top?
Scalloped potatoes and ham
Stuffed peppers
Where do you live, Blackhole? Please say you are not in Texas!
My mom was from Texas, she cooked what you cook, and I remember!
I bought all the fixings for s'mores b4 mom fell ill earlier this month
Providing the chocolate 🍫 hasn't melted in the heatwave we're having maybe I'll enjoy one tonight
Hot dogs and 🌽- good way to end the last weekend of summer
I do know how to cook, especially all the British fare, but I really don't like to very much, since my husband and FIL are both such picky eaters, so no spices, no food touching each other in their plates, they like very few vegetables, so therefore no Casseroles, they are truly no fun to cook for!
So when one of my Sissy's thinks enough of me to drop off a meal, knowing that we are so exhausted from taking care of my FIL on Hospice in our home at the moment, Well That is Love for ya! I DO have the best sisters in the world!
I have to say the goat cheese was a bit too much.:-)
Glad you were able to use up some of the bread. It gives me a great idea and I would love to make some French toast today!
I had a smoked salmon sandwich on whole grain bread.
We have a new A*** store in town and they have packages of what I call the good stuff for around $5 and I can stretch that for out four sandwiches. Delicious! I know it is about $20 a pound but it is something I can eat so I don't worry
I could go for a fresh made soup right now. I had a sandwich for dinner. I'm not eating much bread at all these days but I have a loaf in the house that's been here for weeks and surprisingly no mold on it yet, so I made a sandwich just to use up some stuff here at the house.
Sorry to hear the hot and sour was a disappointment. Its also one of my favorites.
Send, I will have to try the Tom Yum soup, it sounds delicious. I'm sorry to hear about the earthquake. I know that can be nerve wracking. About the veggie burger, I love adding tomatoes, pickles, red onions on top!
Tonight it will be steak salad with avocado and goat cheese.
and lemon grass that heals.
When egg prices shot up a couple years back, Panda Express took hot n sour soup off the menu which is my go to food when I have a cold - lately some of the stores are bringing it back though
Still miss their potstickers though
Well, the shrimp lo mein is tasty enough lol. I suppose I'll suck it up and just throw the soup away. :-(
Except for a minor earthquake 3.5 just after noon, Sunday is a quiet time to enjoy a meal together. dH was not home yet.....but he was home in time for tortellinis later. With P.T.S.D. one never knows when an EQ will trigger stress. This one did, but not too nervous now, or still, or whatever. I think. Maybe. "Nothing bad is happening now".
