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.
ill bet none of us ever foresaw the day that the weed would be too strong and it would create a specialty market for " mediocre " herb , but by god here we are ..
isnt life shifty ? ..
Saw your post about half-calf, and it was funny! Then, the post disappeared!
I never knew cows came with caffeine, now I will have to cut the creamer in half also!
Is this the junk food day? When is it? Can we make it official, and regular?
I am so challenged that last time everyone talked about chips, I went out to get my own chili-flavored fritos, and guilt made me put them back!
Or, aspergers?
I felt fine today so I made fried catfish and hubby as supposed to cut potato in lengthwise wedges so I could bake them in the oven, but he sliced part of it and cut in long fries and cut in little squares. So given the hodgepodge of cut potato , I went ahead and fried the potatoes with the fish and steamed broccoli.
I was looking for this thread earlier today and I couldn't find it. Glad it popped back up.
I made a super delicious soup today, that mom used to make for us back when.
She loved it! !!!
"Caldo de Frijol" = Bean Light Soup
Cooked beans
Powder garlic
Powder onion
Powder orégano
Salt to taste
Croutons
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Put cooked beans in blender, with plenty of their own broth
Blend beyond recognition
Put soup in a pot to heat, adding powders.
If you have store bought croutons, ok. But if you want to make it totally delicious, make your own: cut french bread, or white bread in sort of cubes, squares. Dry them -air dry - for a few days. Fry them to golden brown.
Once soup is simmering, add a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve in bowls, add croutons so that hot soup can soften them.
Enjoy!

Remembering everything my mother would cook up for the holiday and all the family would show up: Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents too.
Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes, with gravy, Peas, Potato Salad, Corn on the Cob, Coleslaw, Deviled eggs, Potato Chips and dips (quacamole, onion), a jello with whipped cream & fruit salad, all homemade with iced tea and lemonade, coffee, lemon merangue pies, pecan pie, and yes-because I forgot, parents once owned a coffeeshop! Loved the varied menu-and the only time the children had help with the dishes. But Mom must have cleaned as she went along, because the pots and pans were done. Guess we had it easy. No more family meals at my home, and not cooking today as dH is out on his bicycle, I cannot walk due to lower back pain-rare-hope it goes away soon.
Maybe its not so new, but I never saw vans driving through town with taco catering ads before.
Prilosec, Digest-zen, Tums, awake late last night. My bad.
Because I have too much time on my hands I did a web search of Alhambra. Guess what, there is a lovely sounding drink called Alhambra Royale made of cognac, hot chocolate, a twist of orange peel and whipped cream. There is also a yummy sounding chocolate hazelnut sponge cake called Alhambra. I would gladly accept either one, or both, for my dinner. LOL
"roasted hockey pucks"
The the next whats for dinner i say:
"Alhambra" and she asks What the H is that..{grin}
After burgers at home, there was a store-bought fresh lemon meringue pie.
The famous burgers were cooked earlier today, packed separate from the tomatoes, lettuce and onions, and sauce in packages, then a short time in the microwave, ejoyed this dinner out but in.
Tonight, for me: small, really healthy salad.....followed by half a bag of cheeto's.....
Yeah....sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do....
