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.
But when I was on my chocolate kick, it was symphony candy bar, whoppers, or hersheys with almonds.
Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall,
We appreciate them all.
Brunch is breakfast and lunch combined when you missed breakfast.
We could start reporting our midnight snacks next.....
Dinner here for me was my usual black beans and salad. Mom just had some cereal and DH had steamed venison, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. I so wish I could get the two of them to eat more salads. But at least we have eliminated strawberry milk from Moms diet. She gave it up on her own. And I have gotten her on board with whole fruit vs juices. Anyway. Happy eating all!!
I wonder how many out there call dinner, supper. And lunch, dinner. My parents have always. Mom still does and I have to always clarify are we talking about dinner or lunch. But she is a beautiful challenge, that I love.
Oh and my Irish Soda Bread was a hit today, I used a scoop rather than making a large bread, plus the large loaf takes an hour to bake. Doing them small they baked in about 20 minutes.
Mmmmm good!!!
This week I am going to make Irish Soda Bread at the Hospice I volunteer at on Thursday. (I am there 4 days a week but my baking day is Thursday) and on Sunday for my Support Group on Monday.
It's just tickled my funny bone seeing your name, and your avatar, and then the opening words: "It's Friday, so we're having fish."
Seal on Sundays, perhaps..?
Anyway, there was an Aldi location very close to where I live, only a couple of blocks away. I didn't go to that one because it was closed. I went there one evening to shop there, a security man for the strip mall informed me that the store was closed. I took it to mean it was permanently closed. There are 3 other locations within 20 minutes drive of that one, I figured they closed it because they didn't get enough traffic at that location.
I WAS WRONG. IT'S OPEN. It's been open for the entire past year that my primary work location is 5 mins from there, and I also live 5 mins from there. I can't explain my simultaneous joy and *derp* feelings about this, but who cares that I misunderstood what happened when I tried to visit before, because the Aldi 5 mins from my house and work is 🎶 opennnnn 🎶 for the next time I want to pop in. 😃
They have this frozen french bread pizza by Mama Cozzi brand, it is so good. I had my first and second one last night because one wasn't enough. Yum.
I am looking forward to Paczki Day, March 5th. There is one place that sells them near me but the best place is about 60 minutes away. Will have to think about it...are "fat pills" worth the drive? Brain is conflicted, heart says go for them, scale says stay away! Have my first vacation in 5 years scheduled..will 2 or 4 or more Paczki going to make me not want to put on the bathing suit that I reluctantly purchased last week? still going to go and the people that I see or that see me will never see me again! So yeah I will eat a few donuts (aka Paczki aka "fat pills)
Best food ever!
My Grandfather ate Grape Nuts and he poured coffee all over them,I think to soften them up.
When I was growing up,we had a milkman that delivered our milk and a little girl down the street often stole ours because they were milk poor and my dH had 6 kids in his Alaskan family and they were milk poor too.
I like honey Bunches of oats, uncle Sam's and the Ezekiel cereals.
I remember as a kid having to eat cereal with water 🤔 because we were milk poor. And I loved cereal.Probably why I love a good cold glass of milk, skim of course. My Mom made cornmeal mush when I was little, I loved it. And rice with sugar and milk.
But now I just like cold cereals, okay and oatmeal with a little brown sugar.
Anyhoo...
