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.
hash browns
sour dough toast
Tom Collins
piece of See's candy
But I won't starve. When dH arrives, we will work on this together tonight.
I tossed the chicken carcass in the pressure cooker with four cups of water to have chicken broth. I will freeze to have for later dishes that call for chicken broth. 😁
Chicken mandarin salad for supper tonight.
So happy you got the perfect job. Maybe you can teach them a few medical terms given your nursing background.
Now to the point....speaking of chocolate.....I thought I’d bake cupcakes for the first class (checking first for any diabetics or allergies, of course).
Their first word in English will be CHOCOLATE! (Spelled the same in Spanish but pronounced differently).

I hope they’ll like their English teacher.
Raisin clusters, sigh...
Chocolate in all its forms. Every shape, filling and mix-in known to man. And the full Easter selection! So many fun novelties.
I had a hankering for the raisin clusters Mom loved so much. Yum. The reality matched my memories.
They had candy cigarettes, too! That put a BIG smile on my face. I know they’re politically incorrect now, but such a good childhood memory. Ahhhhh. That chalky, vaguely wintergreen taste. The red tip. The powder coating that “puffed” slightly.
The good old days!
I have some See's peanut brittle in the cupboard calling me
Tonight was chicken burritos, refried beans and macaroni salad.
p.s. Favorite piece of See’s candy...milk chocolate peanut crunch square or California brittle. Wish I had 2 right now. 🍫
The eggs burned.
I have burned the eggs twice in two months!
Not edible.
Thanks everyone for the frozen vegetable advice. Microwave (no water), 4 min.
Big Veggies.....
Oven roaster, up to ten minutes when added to already cooked chicken (or Turkey tenderloins). Serve with rice.
DH: "That's too far."
Haha. That's what we're having tonight.
Maple walnut, butterscotch. The other See’s that I got was Toffee covered with milk chocolate and rolled in finely chopped almonds. I’m a chocolate junkie. I like a brand called Esther Price based in Ohio. They only show up in my area around Christmas and Valentine’s Day. One of my BIL’s brought me and MIL a box for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate covered cherries by Esther Price are to die for.
what was your favorite piece of See’s?

butterscotch square
rum nougat
buttercream
caramel
molasses chips

Multiply degrees Celsius by 1.8 and then add 32.
Trying to get used to centigrade temps is a trip. Thankfully, I brought my ferinheight thermometer with me for baking.
Is it a Jenn Air?
It sounds like a beauty & it'll make cooking alot easier for you too~
New things are so much fun! 🍳
