CM, it was so yummy. And since I cook like I am feeding an army it will be wonderful leftovers and I will be sharing with my 89 year young friend. She told me she isn't eating properly because of the lock down. I wonder how common this is for our elders.

Can I encourage all that can to provide a nutritious meal for an elder you know.

My Dutch ham, potato and green bean stew/soup? In homemade bone broth with crusty garlic batard. Served with prickly pear, ginger, hibiscus, lemon limeade sweetened with local raw honey to wash it all done.

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.

Tuscan Tofu Scramble, made with firm tofu red bell pepper, red onions, garlic, fresh tomato, nutritional yeast, MatoZest, and fresh spinach. Pepper to season. I love this healthy dish, good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My mother loves this meal too. Serve with a fresh garden salad or buttered rye toast. Delish!!

They do, lu. Mine have a tunnel -with 3 "arms" and love it. I am sure we have nearly 100 cat toys hidden around the house somewhere. Right now the favourite is a little catnip mouse. and being outside. They hunt bugs. Pumpkin eats everything and Rocky only likes dry cat food and treats, but they both like chicken so that will have to be the special birthday food. They are such fun and good companions.

Made the best chicken soup ever. It was almost a stew and the flavour was awesome. Now roasting some veggies - cauliflower, bell peppers and zucchini. I like the peppers and zucchini still a bit firm, and the cauliflower well caramelized.

earlybird -your salmon meal sounds fantastic.

Our daughter scored a 22 ounce aged steak at the grocery store for $1.29! There was only one to be had!

A $16.00 rib eye steak, yes just one, and an artichoke, tomatoes.

At least the steak was big enough there are probably a couple of lunches too.

Tuna ceasar salad and artichokes.

95° degrees, so something cold was needed.

Barb, your meal sounds delish.

Beatty,

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.

Bless you for the mask making. My daughter's job interview was cancelled too. Your daughter is not alone having her life on hold, although it must feel that way. Especially for normally very social young people.

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.

Spinach enchiladas sound yummy!

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.

Just heard a bit on the news, now an elastic shortage. I am sewing masks too and fortunate I have about 13 yards of 1/8" elastic, from who knows what, years ago.

Amy's frozen spinach enchilada dinner. Pretty good.

I have been sewing masks all day! Every time I think I am done I get another text or call asking for more. I’m taking a break! Will get back to it tomorrow.

Anyway, I was tired so I cooked something easy for dinner, mushroom omelette, toast with raspberry preserves.

Earlybird,

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.
