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.
Going to make some pulled pork (LC style, no sugar), taco soup (I love that stuff SOOO much), some meatballs, hardboiled and deviled eggs, tuna salad, raw veggies prepped for snacks and maybe a couple of casseroles. Much of it will go in the freezer for later meals, but some will be for next week. Gotta be prepped if I'm going to stay on track.
I knew you didn't believe that BS about the sugar crystals, but holy cow....where do people get this crap??
Dinner tonight was a mixed plate affair. Don't feel like cooking, so I just tossed together a cold plate of celery sticks and peanut butter and a few with some veggie cream cheese, a scoop of cottage cheese and a couple slices of braunschweiger. Yum.
im having a couple of brats tonight . thats what i made em for -- when i come home hangry and tired .
its rumored that the VW corporation in germany dispenses with the worlds best brats in their cafeterias . what the h#ll do they know ? i plan to put mashed potatoes in my next batch , maybe some ground celery too .
gonna go see about the lemon pie business right now . im a real one tracker till i get what i want .
Sorry for the graphic description, but .....come on.
chandra ,
routine makes my head simmer . other people thrive on it . before i quit the factory 24 years ago , the idiots were playing taped music over the intercom . they had a rock tape , a wuss rock tape , an eggpone country tape and some kind of pop stuff . bout the time i heard the same song three times in a shift , my mild phsycosis was clawing to get out . some people could ignore it entirely . some people grooved on it . it made me feel stabby and shoot - y ..
Tonight was homemade egg drop soup with some chopped rotisserie chicken and asparagus tips tossed in. YUM.
I'm actually taking the weekend off - go me!
it reminds me of my outdoor wedding in 1982 . we bought 70 lbs of chicken legs from the iga store . they were miniscule .
of course cuz was tripping on 2 hits of acid for the wedding occasion . he surmised that the legs must have been harvested from very young chickens and probably with a weed eater .
" now sit there and lay eggs " .. he conjectures ..
cuz was nuts , thats what im getting at ..
I was brought down by that old sales tactic, placing the display right by the checkout, solid bunnies for only $1.29!
No tomatoes though.
Now, before bed, there is hot chocolate! I wanted to go out for chocolate bunny sales, but hubby is already getting smarter back on his vitamins, so he brought it to me. Don't mind being manipulated with hot chocolate! Yes!
What got into me today?
Once,again, Gershun-great minds think alike-and post at the same time!
BTW, Gershun, meant to thank you for the cat gunny, protecting us all from grump.
Send, make taco salad, mmm my favourite! I never buy anything but lean ground beef, I think the only thing that really benefits from a little extra fat is meatloaf.
I made a smaller pot of soup because I don't
want to look at it after a couple of days and I never wind up eating what I freeze.
Made my lentil soup again.
Send, That soup ladle full of the chocolate bunny is bringing back my appetite.
Cwillie, I may just make myself a simple salad (spring lettuce and tomato) later if I get hungry. That could be my snack since I already had those Cheetos....and one homemade nut cluster.
I had too much chocolate bunny for an afternoon snack, so supper will be a salad. I'm not sure what mom will be having, but she's always satisfied with ensure...

Not sure about dinner tonight. Been piece-mealing it all day as I was out getting groceries. I need to pull a late night tonight to get things in order for a shift happening in my business soon - need to get some things in line. I'll probably just continue snacking and munching for today - but all "legal" foods!!
