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.
also, i have a love affair with sparkling water, so that's the bev.
Guess I am rebellious at times! All through school we had plate check by the nuns. We had to eat every bite of yucky food.
This is why I brought my lunch most days. I hated the days mom was out of bread and I couldn’t have my beloved peanut butter and jelly sandwich and had to eat the school lunch.
Forget about trying to stuff the peas in the milk carton. Sister would shake the carton!
I haven't had homemade ice cream since I was a child, we would always have homemade ice cream, it was the best. So I thought I would take a crack at it. Delicious.
I had my usual black bean tacos( I am so boring, but I love them), and of course some ice cream.
Basmati rice with saffron
Salad
And
Chocolate Babka for dessert
Smeshque, I get you, I love to can and find having home canned foods to be so satisfying, not to mention delicious because the food is peak season yummy out of season. Nothing like peach pie in November or January. Add some blackberries and summer for the day.
My lasagna come in a package, Michaelangelos frozen. Because, to buy that much variety would cost more.
There were carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and other veges that can be googled.
Very good, and I am not cooking much in this heat.

Italian Tip #41:The secret to our vegetable lasagna is the medley of garden vegetables. Every bite is bursting with freshness and flavor. Zucchini, squash, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, kale, and cauliflower sit between layers of semolina pasta and ricotta cheese. Our lasagna wouldn't be complete without a traditional style vine-ripened tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Mangia— Let's eat!
Asian chicken salad
zucchini bread
I decided to to forgo the Tom Collins
I’m supposed to have blood work in the morning 😂😂😂
Spaghetti, salad, italian garlic bread. Strawbeery shortcake(DH favorite)
I had my usual black bean in corn tortilla with lots of veggies on top. I resisted the strawberry shortcake today. YAY! But I had a piece of chocolate :(
I canned several jars of peach marmalade, and blackberry jam. We have an abundance of peaches. So tomorrow I will be canning peach pie filling.
I actually think it is fun canning fresh food for use later. I am kinda odd. :)
But good..........................:)
Golden- Horseback riding and chinese food. Two of my favorite things. Hope you are enjoying your new adventure.
For me black beans some crunchmaster crackers and the Gouda. Chocolate frozen yogurt,
This was my first time with the Gouda, I LOVE IT!!!! TOO MUCH!
CW- you reminded me of our dinners growing up and how our salad dressing was a mixture of miracle whip or mayo(whichever we had at the time)and ketchup. I had no clue until I was almost an adult that there were other salad dressings available in the world.
Mom would also make at times a wilted salad, with the bacon grease, Oh how I hated it, but they loved it.
a simple salad (leaf lettuce with miracle whip dressing),
plain boiled potatoes (a big pot full so there are extra for potato salad or fried potatoes),
a veg (green beans from the garden)
and meat (pulled pork - mom would have done chops).
Of course mom would have had dessert too. Mmmm, maybe cherry or peach pie. (I wish)
A brookie (brownie with choc. chip cookie) for dessert.
Your'e creation sounds delicious~
Tonight I did a big stir fry with added ginger, garlic, sesame and soy sauce with slivers of strip loin - oh, and a little sriracha. Yum, with leftovers for another night.
Tonight..A bit of left over salmon and some broccoli and rice.
Tomorrow..having a few people over, it would have been my Husbands birthday so having eggplant lasagna, home made bread, Key Lime pie (his favorite) and I made brownies for the non lovers of citrus pie.
How do you make your glaze for your chicken? I make chicken quite a bit. That sounds yummy 😋
