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.
im making 15 been soup tonight with cornbread tonight.. it will never be as good as ednas cornbread. that nut usedta grind up spicy cracklin style onion rings in hers, but she'll eat it or ill punch her in the face. i think im going to be going to live with her this monday. i made the offer and it looks like doc took me seriously. lol .. she nursed me back to health 15 yrs ago during a particularily wicked hepc tx and subsequent divorce. this is a debt im repaying. this could all work out wonderfully. my kid could get up here and keep the bats swatted out of the bunker and i could give edna the care she needs. hes going to have to give up the blunts and make with some responsibility but im guessing hes wishing someone would give him the nudge to do it anyway. nudging, i can do . my homemade sledgehammer is so heavy most people cant even pick it up ..
this makes me recall a couple of guys i used to work in the " too " close proximinity of -- a trim carpenter and a painter. to say that these guys were unmotivated would be the understatement of all time. when theyd get to work in the am, the first hour of work would be discussion about where they were going to have lunch at today. then theyd talk about the " band " lighting for the next and so on until before you know it, it would be time for lunch. i dont believe i ever saw either of them do anything and by the time the builder would catch up to them each day theyd be " out to lunch " . the builder died at the age of 45 -- i s'pose he just gave up..
Too bad we don't all live close enough to have a progressive supper. We'd have the greatest meal!
Any suggestions for what your Alzheimer loved ones likes the most? marymember
the yams i could do without jeanne. beta carotine's a**, id rather die young.
my mom would sometimes specifically ask for some fried potato wedges. i think id fry them in oil mixed with water, then when the water had cooked the potatoes and boiled away youd be frying again. this technique is what gives em " fluff " .
I knew I had more lamb chops than we could eat so I made extra veggies, too, and my grandson just picked up his take-home meal!
By the way, I'm really enjoying my new immersion blender.
ba8alou, do you have a gathering at your house for Passover?
