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.
im making the " huge wad of coronary causing beef stuffed into your aorta till your heart stops " plate . i think its romanian but i dont relly care .
i dont " get " salmon either . i like mackerel moreso .
brandywine , yea , spaghetti dont have to be tomato based . ive made great spaghetti in white sauce with turkey . the WHOLE turkey . his name was sid and he was a butthole . i put up with his theatrics until the day he came inside my garage talkin that ghetto s*it while i was trying to change a transmission . he was skinned and in the freezer in minutes . he became christmas spaghetti for probably 20 people .
in the words of the german rock group " rage " -- ill race you from the cradle to the grave ..
its almost brat makin time again . this time i have sauteed , chipped morels to twist in there .
got everything in , just waiting for the rain day .
might grind some beef with them . been reading about curry wurst . very popular and very beef ..
93 degrees isnt chili weather is what im gettin at .
id agree with you in principle but in my version you feed ALL the vegs to a couple of hogs then when the belly growls you drag one of em out under the fence and stick a knife in his aorta .
im going to heat up some more chili after my legs stop howling . put in a long day today and will probly be back to laying stone tomorrow .
after about 2 pm i feel 15 yrs older by the hour . at 5 ; 30 today i took my 103 yr old @$# HOME ..
I got a spiralizer at Saver's for $5. Made cucumber salad on one day, another day I spiralized raw sweet potatoes and baked them gently. I am discovering how to use parchment paper when baking instead of greasing the dishes with oils. You should NEVER use vegetable oil by now! Only coconut oil or olive oil.
If you want to "beat the system" say no to our drug culture of vulture medicine that does NOT help you, and try to eat the healthiest you can.
My recent discovery: Dr. Axe. He has easy and wonderful recipes and tons of fun things to read on how to take care of yourself and others. I also love Dr. Fuhrman. So much online info. No excuse anymore for being a slug and handing over your life to your poor adult children and demand they dump their life for yours.
Really, isn't that's what is happening? Sure seems like it.
One can throw meals-on-wheels into the steamer and cook and cook and cook...and cook
We also eat casseroles, hamburger pie, mac n cheese, fruit, tuna salad, boiled raisin cake and apple blueberry pie. All manner of frozen foods can be heated and cooked in the steamer. I have been known to place package frozen dinners un-opened in the steamer and cook them with the steam
The microwave drawback is it dries things our.
think ill let it cool way down before having some of it . its about 85 degrees today in indiana , maybe 93 tomorrow .
i dont care . i hate the cold weather so much that i refuse to fuss about the other extreme .
beef gets fork tender in the pressure canner . makes a right quick meal with the addition of egg noodles or canned potatoes .
im trying not to get carried away with the prepper mentality but i cant see the downside to having a few hundred quarts of preserved food . some people save back money for the uncertain future -- my strategy has always been to find ways to live cheaply .
i cant predict the future but i can safely speculate that im not going to be panic buying food at the first sign of a snow blizzard .
the rain water tank is topped off . im not far from plumbing my clothes washer back up .
If you ever get that vacuum sealer there are a couple of plastic containers with lids you can get. The bigger square one of ideal for marinating those tough Save me nothing steaks. Put the meat in the container,add your favorite marinade and seal on the lid and they are tender enough for an old man with no teeth.
cwillie I brought some sweet and sour sauce and it sounds like your stir fry. I like the Heinz but it has suddenly vanished. So home made it is again.
i got my " fake binoculars " 16 ounce flask at the post office this morning . it isnt the dumbest 12 dollar purchase ive ever made . that title is already taken by the 2 ea 11 . 00 beers i bought at my last concert . i think ill have more fun out of them pretending to gaze and drool at shirley manson than what thrill ill get from the rotgut booze i plan to smuggle in .
i think ill get my son carry to the binoculars in . im not assertive enough . he , on the other hand would elbow your head right off your shoulders if you impede his scheme in any way . hes kinda street smart and im kinda " logging path " slow in the head by comparison .
i dont trust many storebought sauces ( or sauce mixes ) . red pepper , sugar , vineagar and jelly would have produced a more predictable sweet / sour .
im just chewing on a couple of fried pork chops tonight . they clearly came from an 8 year old brood sow . sav a lot should be forced to furnish heart defibrilators with this low grade meat .
