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.
its breakfast time right now tho -- coffee and tobacco ..
I've asked oldest bro if there's any way of transplanting an avocado tree to our yard. We have 3 different kinds of mango trees. I'm allergic to mangos. I said that I miss having an avocado tree. Bro knocked down all of our banana trees. We had 2 kinds of banana trees - the one for cooking and the Manila bananas. Dad doesn't know that bro got rid of it. We still have several papaya trees which are too near the house and keep falling after every storm. Bro uprooted the oldtimer ones that withstood the time of storms/typhoons.
I too love avocados. I envy anyone with a tree! (They wouldn't do so well in Minnesota!)
My breakfast salami sandwich was jazzed up with avocado. I cut a slice, used a fork to mash it down, added a little bit of low sodium soy sauce, sprinkled chunky black pepper on it, put tabasco on the salami.. and ate it like that. Yum!!! 11:15am. Time to start making my spam meal for lunch/dinner.
Kaz, we call the bread-based side dish "stuffing" or "dressing." Maybe it depends on the part of the country, but here in Minnesota both are used interchangeably. It would be more logical to call it stuffing if it is actually cooked in the meat, and dressing if it is cooked separately, but logic has little to do with naming conventions. I recently took a cooking class where I learned a stuffing recipe for pork tenderloin that was mostly dried fruits. Good!
My dinner is my leftover takeout breakfast... fried rice with 3 or 4 pieces of Portuguese sausage. I will just make 2 over-medium eggs to go with it. Maybe, chop up the sausages, and re-fry the rice by adding both sausages in it. Feeling bad though that I'm not cooking for sis....
Tomorrow, I might be making what you all call spam goulash. (depends on what fave sis brings for lunch.) I bought 2 cans of tomatoes. Can't wait to cook it with mushrooms and olives and corn...and lots of onions.
Mowed (with the tractor = 3 hours) got some paint on the mud room. sorted my rescue kitten's play room, fed everyone. It's now 8.p.m. and I'll likely go to bed soon. I'm exhausted,. Tomorrow is another day.
I was at the NH couple pf days go but I won't go back for while - it totally unhinges me.
