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 thinking that gal who inspected ednas used chair before we brought it in this evening.
he he, gimmee a break, im a warpy guy..
Meh, I don't know what I'm doing for dinner. I'm not in the least bit hungry atm and it's 7 p.m. I had a sandwich earlier and don't really want anything or feel like cooking tonight. My boys are on their own. lol They both know how to cook. I'll probably just do a small salad later on.
Two cans of soup that I an tolerate cold (tomato and something else my tired brain can't think of)
A nice fresh fruit cocktail (basically pre-cut chunks, yum) and bananas
Some lovely mexican pastries
cold cuts and premixed salady stuff for sandwiches
Imitation crab meat (yeah .. bad for me, but I love it)
Snacks (because I'm also a hedonist)
Hummus and veggie crackers
They don't serve breakfast at this place, but I'll order one room service that'll give me leftovers. Headin' out in a few hours. Yay!!
Yum. And tomorrow I start my four day holiday in a hotel room with no means of cooking anything. It'll be interesting to see what I come up with that 1) doesn't need refrigeration or some kind of cooking.
I would like a little more input from anyone who knows how to do this, if you care to share. See, my Greek grandfather used to make this tomato, feta, and onion salad. I loved it, even as a kid. But I could never get my onions - he used just basic white or yellow onions - to be soft and mild like he did. He told me to sprinkle salt over them and let them sit for awhile. The salt would draw out the heat. Then rinse and use for the salad. I've tried. I end up with really salty (not edible) onions and they're still hot. So what am I doing wrong? And really, emjo, just soaking in water will take out some of the heat, too?
I'd like to be able to make the old Greek salad like he used to.
Thanks.
