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.
I didn’t eat the bun to save carbs 😂
I'm tired of Hawaiian takeout Sundays but it is soft to chew and I don't go back to the dentist til the middle of January
So sorry that happened to you. You just did not need that.
Take care.
Wow! Glad you’re okay. What an ordeal to go through. Yikes!
drink deep for three score years and ten;
and some of them (a very few)
stay pickled 'til they're ninety-two."
It's from Verse & Worse, about how the other animals are abstemious and die young while humans keep going on booze; can't remember the author's name, sorry.
just read the obit of a local man last night . he died at 84 . that dont seem unusual until you consider that he was the hardest drinking of the hardest drinking .
he didnt go out admonished as a worthless drunk . he went out admired for his artistry and inovativeness as a master sign maker and progressive businessperson .
i found him to be fascinating myself .
I used the liquid from chicken noodle soup.
One could add a finely chopped rhutabega/turnip to dressing if they happened to have one in their shed.
those at the forestry have been too cheap to give me a 20 cent an hour helper . ( freedom challenged ) .
do they really think this will work ?
explains the absurd employee turnover ..
cappy aint civil on the best day .. stop the gd presses on one of the worst ones ..
i suck , but im going to have some awesome ham dressing before this day is over . i'll suck in my own suckyness by my sucking self ..
attitude , man . the difference between hating life and throwing sht back at it ..
i dont think anyone ever died from a deprivation of mushroom stems and pieces .
pink dyed - tank raised salmon , glued together beef products , plumped chickens , glued together fish byproducts , " honey " from china ( do you need an explanation of that " ? , completely fake spices , bread that can contain up to 70 % fibre ( think shredded , clearcut trees ) , and lots of soybeans . i live in central indiana . i can take a drive and all i see is people , corn , and soybeans . i think our supermarkets are filled with at least two of those items . oh , and i guess you can still buy sardines from the inchon bay in korea ( think human sht runoff ) ..
it isnt funny and recently the FDA decided that even less disclosure is needed . our government should be held to a higher standard . i cant get antibiotics for the flu because we are overusing them , but the meat producers can feed them by the semi load .
actually im in a pretty good mood today but this subject is scary even on a ' best ' day .
the savalot manager dont hate me but he dont like me either . i come in weekly for the one sale item -- and a bunch of it .
so ham was .79 a lb ?
milk crammed up to 3 . 39 , coffee is in cans too small to even see , etc , etc . the friggin chicken eggs look like they came from doves , and so on . the gd bread is suddenly 1.29 and frankly it wasnt worth the price when it was . 89 ..
i dont like games but if i have to play , im playing to win .
well , at least i aint playing to lose .. he can win one every now and then ..
ya know how things dont always go as planned ?
yea , there are no more cheap ranges over there but it isnt going to stop me from making ham / cornbread dressing . im pressure cooking a whole shank ham because whatever i do with it -- its still not cooked to near tender .
im gonna put a can of whole kernel corn in the dressing . even the lady who wrote this particular recipe admitted that ' recipes are lame ' but for the people who think they need one -- heres the gist of it ...
imo -- celery seed . thats where the flavor is at . mushroom bits wouldnt have hurt it but im still boycotting the . 69 cent per can . they can put on a rubber glove and cram em -- one bit at a time .
i got too much water in my stovetop switches and fried them . they burn but dont regulate . total bummer .
We will want to know who what why at the ER. Are you okay?
I am so nervous about forgetting on the actual day, that e v e r y d a y has to be special.
Today, I finally cooked the turkey dinner.
Turkey breast. dressing, cranberry sauce, and squash.
Write to remind me, somebody, please!
Merry Christmas! I haven't been back in a while but happy to see so many familiar names still. I want to express my deep appreciation to all the kind messages I received when I was grieving for my dad. So grateful for this community.
Looking forward to having turkey and stuffing and any and all sides.:-)
Take care all! All the best for 2020!
opt for beer. Me I prefer milk but it's a day for You to choose. I love early morning Mass on Christmas morning with a visit to the crib at Our local Presentation Convent where sadly We have got only eight very elderly Presentation Sisters left. Few will ever acknowledge the great work that these
great Nuns have done in Nursing, and Teaching, and in the Mission Fields far across the World and We will miss Them when they are gone from Us. Have a lovely day y'all and take great care.
