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 was at Costco today and checked out the crabs. They had two medium in a package for $28. Sigh.
Yes, I do have access to FRESH dungeness crab...fresh from Oregon Coast. I can buy a giant whole one for 7 bucks. I do like the more stringent taste they have vs the sweet.
Bob, try frying up some gizzards, make a brown gravy from the oil....use season salt if you have it, simmer till gizzards are tender, pour over rice.... stick to your ribs food.
BUMMER is right.... it's up to the 90's during the day but 40's in the mornings.... this is it... last week of warmth. I dread another winter here...

bummer -- had to light up the woodstove tonight for the first time . i could have done without this for another month ..
Tonight's menu was fresh fruit parfait and bacon-spinach-tomato quiche, with Swiss and cheddar cheese. It was an especially tasty combination. Each time I make a quiche I wonder why I don't do it once a week. It is easy, moderate cost, and fairly nutritious. We all love it. Why not do it more often? I guess just because there are also a huge number of other things we like.
Granddaughter stopped over and had dinner with us. She loved the quiche. I gave her the recipe. I wonder if she'll ever make it. She was visiting her brother afterwards and I sent the leftover pie to him for breakfast.
Captain, ever consider combining your gizzards or liver or bacon scraps into a quiche? Cook one time and eat for three days, with better variety than plate after plate of gizzards. :)
Captain, does it bother you at all that you are taking advice from a deceased woman you considered nuts? Just wondering. :)
those chops sound much better than my chicken livers . damm near bought pork this week . 1.50 a lb . then moms voice sed " i aintta payin it , let em keep it " .. of course mom was nuttier'n squirrel s*it . the damm livers were 1 . 89 a lb ..
Health: just came back from my doctor who is a Naturopath. He "muscle tested" my supplements and I bought some new ones for my endocrine system, a new multi vitamin and another one to dissolve certain fats in the body. He is a very knowledgeable doctor when it comes to Functional wellness. I am hoping to lose weight, have better digestion, and put my endocrine system back in balance.
Been plagued with headaches, parasites and other things since I moved to this apartment four years ago. Yes, it's on my list to move out of here maybe next Spring.
It's gonna be in the 90's until late next week. Cold foods from now on!
Had granddaughter, her husband, and their two kids over tonight. We had tortilla chips, salsa, and guacamole, small bowls of gazpacho for starters, then fish tacos (cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, and an awesome sauce), followed by cookie brownies. A success.
stir fry needs water chestnuts imo ..
your pork chops sound good , jeannette . try em layered in a bread pan someday with light apple stuffing between each . a can of whole kernel corn doesnt hurt the stuffing one bit .. tramadol and beer for side dishes ..
I must be hungry because, even though it's hot as h*ll here, I'm broiling thick cut pork chops dusted with caraway seeds then baked on top of sauerkraut, green beans, beets and cottage cheese. I must be nuts!
shes got a tou -- ouch , a touch too much ..
d*mnt hadnuff . your screenname compels me to listen to " touch too much " by ac dc .. i had some kind of cracked out salad at nh yesterday . i recognized mayo , raisins , broccoli . it really wasnt bad ..
i had jail food tonight -- from ednas nh . chicken salad sandwich . it wasnt very good , too sour, but it brought back a great memory of moms last 3 months of life . i was making some kicka** chicken salad and serving it on halves of brotchen rolls . mom and the hospice visitors complimented the food after they were done eating . they were so good that nobody said a word while eating them ..
i took edna a slice of restaurant coconut cream pie this evening . an old lady who was sitting in the hall with edna said she loved coconut so i gave her half of ednas slice of pie . i made two people happy for 3 bucks and 55 cents . thats pretty good economics ..
