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.
Can I encourage all that can to provide a nutritious meal for an elder you know.
We are focusing on nutrition since everyone is getting out and about more, creating more exposure. So boosting the immune system to handle whatever we come across. We are mindful and proactive in this endeavor every single day, but sometimes we need an extra nutritional boost.
I pray everyone is doing well and has enough nutrition to get through this.
My 3 "kittens" turned 3 years old Feb.20th and we had the best party thanks to a friend that sent a very special box to them from Amazon filled with over 27 cat toys, snacks and even a tunnel &.Ofcouse,we did the Beanie Baby Boogie they love and they had canned tuna too.The babies have been so wonderful &
I know your kitties must bring you alot of joy too.
I LoVe the kitty on your avatar too~so dear
earlybird -your salmon meal sounds fantastic.
At least the steak was big enough there are probably a couple of lunches too.
95° degrees, so something cold was needed.
Barb, your meal sounds delish.
I am a sucker for a roast! 😋
God Bless You both Glad, NHWM!
Yeah, they are young. They are active. My daughter is very social. You’re right. They are feeling like a fish out of water right now.
Thanks, I feel better making the masks. It’s only a small help but it’s something. I feel so badly for our doctors, nurses, law enforcement, etc. They are worn out. They work so hard.
A friend's son was struggling with this 'iso life'. He joined some international chat line where anyone can call up to have a chat if bored, lonely etc. He is really enjoying chatting to all sorts of people, ages, jobs, nationalities.
Thanks, Llama. Dinner was quick tonight! Hahaha I am making my masks out of high count cotton as suggested and fun prints.
My youngest daughter is such a diva! She asked for extra masks for her friends. So, I made them.
I already made my daughter two mask. She is now saying she wants a couple more of them. She knows how long I have been sewing for others who need them.
I think she just wants to get mail to feel a connection. So, I will mail a couple more to her. She said she misses us. She misses going to her classes. She misses her friends, her job and activities. She’s upset because her flight was canceled to Denver for job interviews after graduation.
She called the other day, upset and crying about all of this. She is used to being in the thick of things. She’s having a tough time quarantining.
I wasn’t sure how to handle it. I tried to comfort her. I think it’s upsetting her more than I realized.
She made a telehealth appointment with a therapist to try and talk it out.
Amy's frozen spinach enchilada dinner. Pretty good.
Anyway, I was tired so I cooked something easy for dinner, mushroom omelette, toast with raspberry preserves.
Bread pudding is definitely one of our favorite desserts.
I will try to post it as closely as I can. It’s a combination of my grandma, mom’s and mother in law’s recipe. LOL. You know how we become dump and pour cooks and no longer need recipes once we learn to cook.
It was hard getting a recipe from grandma and mom when I was learning to cook. I had to watch closely and ask them to measure ingredients as they went along.
I never get upset if someone tweaks my recipes but I love if they share it with me so I can try it too!
I took what I liked from each of them and combined them for my bread pudding. My daughters and hubby say that I tweaked it to perfection!
That’s the fun part of cooking, making something your own. Eh, I am a purist with certain things but not everything. I love to see how everyone cooks. I love to follow other people’s ideas but also add my own magic at times!
I am sewing masks at the moment. But as soon as I can I will.
