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.
We’re trying to use up all the meat in the freezer before we move but it’s looking like MIL will get a basketful.
Save me some!
(and don't ask me why there are 398 mls instead of 400, I always assumed it's because the cans are made in the USA but google tells me that this size equals 13.45 US ounces so that wouldn't make sense either😕❔)
And yes, the cornbread (sans buttermilk) is pretty good😄
I ate a BBQ Baked bean sandwich, it was super good.
All homemade, no store bought here.
Way too many carbs, but that is okay, this is Saturday, and I am not the donut police, lol.
However, now that everyone brought up donuts, I will need one.
Is there a craving schedule in the universe or something?
I have wanted a donut, my own craving, for about 4 days now, and have resisted.
Maybe there is a rash of advertisements coming on in our sleep?
Maybe just a few donut holes will do.
I guess I'll start with a bowl of cereal... honey bunches of oats.
And an orange. I've got some clementines that have been in the fridge since christmas.
20 min. rice
Instant Rice
Or microwaved 90 second rice.
I microwave some frozen vegetables and put them on top.
Any ideas? (LOL)
I had made some pecan brittle, which is the treat of the day for them. I have done well, staying away from it. Yay! Because it is so addicting once you start.
I have been thinking of trying some walnut brittle, I wonder how that would be. My DH loves the walnut pie, so I might give it a go.
I sautee some pork cutlet strips with onions, mushrooms in a E.V.O.O, butter, white wine, garlic, fresh parsley, season salt, and made Angel hair pasta and tossed it with the pork and sause. Then I threw in fresh cherry tomatoes cut in half. I guess, I just needed to remember my dad today!
Putting in a small chuck roast, carrots and potatoes.
What kind of bread did the cook use for the grilled cheese?
It's a Pasilla chilie stuffed with hamburger, apples, raisins and spices. It's covered with walnut cream sauce and pomegranate seeds are sprinkled on top. The colors green (chilie), white (sauce) and red (Pom seeds) represent the colors of the Mexican flag. It's yummy!
We'll have something light for dinner.
We just had soup and sandwiches again tonight.I haven't been able to bake a meatloaf or roast or cookies or anything since my heating element went out on my oven about a month ago.It's ok with me though,there's been alot less dishes to do.
I forget...is the pig revered, protected.....or eaten for the holiday?
If this were a Luau, the pig would be eaten.
