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.
That is the concept anyway.
I guess it adds moisture too. Don’t some people use applesauce in baking to reduce fat? Plus it’s supposed to add moisture.
That sounds interesting. Pumpkin, the purée stuff? Would add nutritional value.
I think your plan is working. If you can knock out the chore faster, then why not? Sounds good to me.
For example: Subway 30 minutes, laundromat 2 hrs. vs.
Doing laundry all day, at home 12 hrs. and never finished...
It is working overall, because what can he say, after all, when he has not yet been fed, and he's been gone so much there is no food in the house??
Don't answer that, it is a rhetorical question.
You have subway at the laundromat? Years ago, all we had at the laundromat was a drink machine. Now there are laundromats with a bar, pool tables, burgers and a live band!
I have had a washer and dryer for 40 plus years now but when I was single and went to the laundromat they were so different, very simple.
Avatar is Subway.
I love feta cheese too. It is salty though. It is fun to make a recipe our own. Your daughter would appreciate your creativity. She sounds like a great cook! I like goat cheese on pizza. I actually don't like mozzarella cheese a lot. The texture can be a bit rubbery. I love provolone or fontina cheese on pizza. Fontina melts beautifully.
Sounds yummy! I love goat cheese.
But I don't know what strata is.Iv'e never heard of that either.
Nothing smoking tonight 😆
Thank you for sharing and I will let you know.
What kind of bread bowl do you use?
Here is the base recipe and then I will add my tweaks, but anyone can vary this to taste. At this link you can print the recipe (I preview my print and take out the image so it fits on one page, and then you can write any tweaks on the page and take it to the kitchen)

My tweaks:
I use bread bowls instead of adding rye bread, but I have pumpernickel croutons available to throw in there as well if eating the bread bowl itself isn't enough or if you are using oven proof bowls.
For the corned beef I buy good deli meat and ask that they slice it thick. Then I cut it more into chunks than shredding.
I use more Swiss cheeses than called for because I love cheese, and a tad more sauerkraut.
I use beef broth instead of water and bouillon.
I also add small chunks of parboiled potatoes. About two cups.
If anyone makes it, let me know how you liked it!
Tasted good! Washed down with a red wine spritzer.
I bought a cabbage with lots of outer leaves so I am shredding them and will saute them, maybe add some caraway seeds. celery seeds and garlic. I'll taste my way through it and steam them a little If needed for tenderness. Love cabbage in any form.
