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.
(Unfortunately, it was too little, too late - a lifetime of eating the other way had already done major damage to her body....wish I could have done it sooner.)
LOL
Very fun, fast, and satisfying. If you want more: add steamed dumplings, or a few frozen shrimp. Snow peas, snap peas, make a nice last minute addition to.
I also make spinach, kale, collard greens, cut finely and sauted with onions and garlic and then make an omelet or simply scramble with an egg and a little water. With a dash of red pepper, chili paste, and sea salt (or Himalayan salt), you won't miss the bread or heavy potatoes. If you buy catsup, buy Trader Joe's because at least it is not loaded with Fructose like the Heinz brand is. To your health!
Listeria is more dangerous in elderly, children, and immune compromized individuals.
April frozen veges, like peas, could still be in your freezer.
Change up diet-what to eat now?
Salad for dinner, again.
Why did she post that twice? So that I will be motivated to cook it in time to make my plans come true!
went out to the farm this afternoon and found 15 or so big yellow morels . im happy with that . i usually walk 5 miles and find ONE . natures idea of humor i guess .
ill chip them up , saute them , and add em to the next batch of brats .
pam , cobbler sounds good . id spring for ice cream for this occasion .
had a little amusement out of a black nurse . we were kitchen talking and she asked me if ive ever eaten at the cracker barrel .
was she implying that a cracker assed cracker like myself probably exclusively eats at the cracker barrel with all them other crackers ?
probably not but you know my brain had to turn it into comedy fodder ..
We have been sleeping too much after the pancakes from Denny's.
the sav a lot didnt have anything i needed last week so the only thing i bought was a 99 cent bag of hot dog buns . as i pulled into the parking lot there was a folded one dollar bill lying on the ground . man thats thrift .. no grocery expense for the week and in fact up one penny ..
i ate 800 calories of sweet bakers chocolate before going to bed .
i made myself a lemon pie this afternoon cause we took off work a little early . my legs are screaming from 5 9 - 11 hr days in a row so i made the pie before the muscle burn set in this evening .
gonna fry chicken later . that doesnt take much standing up .
i had 443 calories in a 40 oz beer ,600 calories in two brats / buns ,and 1200 calories in the quart of fried potatoes .
so thats 2234 . i can stand 1750 at rest without expecting weight gain .
i wasnt at rest today . i ran a walk behind trencher for 9 hours .
im going to get me a jar of instant decaf coffee to ice up and drink in the evenings . ive been drinking lemonaide for a year and it requires 4 tablespoons of sugar to make it palatable . thats too much sugar . the iced coffee only needs two tbsp's .
what worked tonight was a quart of my canned potatoes / pork / green beans , drained and flash fried .
very good , considering the potaoes were already well done from the pressure canning process .
the homemade brats are a lifesaver at the farm . the farm foreman is counting calories and my 300 calorie brats are a fraction of his usual fast food count ill bet he dont miss losing 8 bucks a day either . one brat will fill your belly . no fries or large ( watered down ) coke .
doc still wants to host honey bees . im game . if i cant out think a bee , well , a few hundred stings will get me going in the proper direction ..
i dont have a use in hell for honey but i sure relish a challenge ..
