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.
A stick... Lol sorry best i could come up with on the gray Chicago morn
Remember she who laughs, lasts! Peace out girl & keep on truckin...
well here's a link to an article about some upcoming movies touching on caregivers, thought i would post here, for "dinner and a movie nite"

Book, love me some Tony Roma's, yummy!!!
Except I'm feeling so guilty. So, I came home (pretending to be going to work each day while on my vacation) 'after work' and told sis that I couldn't finish my lunch. She can have my baby back ribs. {sob, delicious ribs, sob} She then volunteered and offered me her spam kelaguen (just spam straight from the can, uncooked, in lemon juice and fresh squashed peppers.) That was my dinner - a very very salty spam meal. She didn't even put in any chopped onions. I have a feeling I will be having a Cup-o-Noodle tonight around 10pm.
cap. I didn't even think of celery and had it in the fridge. I used frozen mixed veggies, like I remember from my youth, cream of mushroom and season salt n pepper. Also used whole wheat pasta and that may be partial to the odd flavor.....celery and celery soup next time, if there is a next time!!!
maybe your tuna casserole needed cream of celery soup .. to be so dam bland raw , celery comes alive when cooked ..
jeanne, I love those pioneer cook books!! Dad and mom have several that are 100 years old. Depending on you location, it is AWESOME! Plus...sauerkraut, to me, is the best meat topping ever!
I did not cook tonight. Stopped at a lovely Chinese place and got a large won ton soup, veggie chop suey and moms fav, orange chicken. We love to combine all of it into one large yummy soup.... oh yeah. Delish!
boni is a helluva good cook , just funnin with her ..
im not eating tonight . ive recovered back up to 178 lbs from near 150 during treatment so im back to eating only when i feel the need to . usually only in the evenings ..
I used the mac & cheese as an opportunity to explain what "stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni" means. (You know, right?)
We had porterhouse steak, sauteed mushrooms, hasselback potatoes, iceberg lettuce wedge salads with blue cheese, fresh homemade peanut butter cookies and Ben& Jerry's peanut butter cup ice cream. Whew! Not a difficult dinner (except to pay for it)!
Cranberry sauce, captain? When I get the hot turkey sandwich blue plate special at the local cafe I get extra cranberry sauce. I'm bummed that the only time of year the groceries have the good stuff in the winter holidays.
Hope your are enjoying your salmon dinner, Boni. Caregivers need all the pampering they can get for themselves.
My sister loaded the day with family drama, but still took mom to church and dinner (Thank God, not her)
I ordered a Salmon dinner, with artichoke hearts from the "fancy" Italian restaurant. I deserve a treat, and food seems to be my only one.
I couldn't decide on dessert, so I ordered both. Hey, I might need a treat tomorrow!
