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 like to bake on nights when I can’t sleep.
Dinner was chicken and dumplings, mashed potatoes, green beans, sliced tomatoes.
That’s what I like, the thin crust. I don’t like thick crust. If I did a pizza I would want a thin crust. I’m with you on the gluten free stuff. If it’s a medical reason I get it, otherwise no.
My daughter tried that cauliflower crust recipe. I guess it’s good. Like you say, trends come and go. She also does the zucchini noodles. For a college kid she eats healthy! I bought her a crockpot to cook in while she is in school. She does soups. So all she makes is a salad to go with it and it’s easy for her.
I know quite a few people who are gluten free these days. That would be a pain to cook gluten free.
I know even some of the pizza places near me offer gluten free dough. Wonder what it taste like. I can’t eat meat on pizza anymore. Lost my taste for pepperoni and stuff like that. I like veggie pizza only now.
Have you done pizza dough? Would that be hard to do?
I like cooking, just don’t eat a lot. Plus I get tired of cooking at times.
Homemade bread is a labor of love. I admire you. I only did it once! Haha
I have done quick breads. They are really more like cake!
I love hot tea when I am sick. Any kind, herbal or black tea.
Peanut butter and chili. See why he’s your ex! Hahaha
I’m run down and then the immune system gets weak. Still, I haven’t been sick with a cold in years! Well, a cold is not serious so I will be back to normal soon.
I like Paella. It’s sort of like our jambalaya. Well, Louisiana is French and Spanish. We actually have a mixture of cultures and our food reflects that.
I made paella the other night. I had no sausage or clams on hand so it was just chicken and shrimp as the meats. I ate too much of it, so dinner last night was a sandwich. Which reminds me, I need to boil some eggs. I used up the last two last night.
Gladimhere, I once dated a guy who always had to have a peanut butter sandwich with his chili! Yuk!!!
I really do not understand the cinnamon roll thing, at all.
Me-black beans and salad
DH is 6'2 about 175 and can eat like a horse . It amazes me.
I wish I had his metabolism.
I love hot tea when I feel bad.
So so I had to learn certain recipes on my own. My mom didn’t cook that dish. Not sure why, it’s a great dish.
Everyone had a salad as well except DH.
Send- I make our communion bread.
Sorry it did not work for you. I have not had an issue yet so if you ever try again and need any pointers I can assist.
I will never bake bread again after the epic fail of attempting bread for communion. The women who came to help...no one knew how to bake bread.
The next day, I asked the pastor to not serve it, and he shut me up.....
Later, he was trying to break the bread to serve communion......hard as a rock!
What a grouch!
The best flavors ever!
As I fell asleep just after, I asked dH if he wanted more, and he said yes......
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzz.
That was a lot of work for you, and so generous to make Mom's birthday a happy event.
The hardest part is the planning.
She was surprised by the two as she never expected to see them again and they had a lovely visit.
I did not have too many left overs, so that is good and the soup and salad went over great. As well as the pigs in blanket and cake.
Ab smoked the hotdogs I used in the pigs in blanket so Dh said they were extra good that way.
I am relieved it is all over and Mom had a good day. Now she is looking forward to Monday her actual birthday, and chinese food and dominoes.
Then I owe her a road trip later on in the year.
But for now, I am kicking back relaxing and relieved she had a good day and resuming back to real life and I have a few days of less stress before going back to work.
Sorry I got on a roll writing.
Thank you for asking and thank you for your encouragement and ideas.
But next year, Lord willing, we are going to a restaurant. Yup!!!!!
