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'm in the process of figuring out how to organize my bottom freezer so I can find them more easily.
Of course, zucchini bread is another great use.
I have had the disappointing results you mention with your stir fry, I like to use liquid amino acids to brighten it up and I never make polenta with anything but French onion soup as my liquid, game changer, especially when you add some fresh sautéed onions, mmmmmmgood!
Daisy, your everything sprinkle sounds goods on zucchini, I bet it is a great seasoning for any veggie.
Edit: another tastie way to cook zucchini, slice length wise, drizzle some olive oil, put lots of garlic powder, salt and pepper then grill on both sides. Or cut length wise and drizzle with a little olive oil, garlic powder to taste and put shredded parmesan on top and bake until the cheese is golden
Tonight is whatever we find in the kitchen.
Cwillie, I am really starting to enjoy more veggies myself.
Daisy, we love our mini split units. We have duct work (that we sealed after installing minis) but those things make central air feel like ceiling fans. Ours are both air and heat and we can't figure out why they aren't in all new construction. Easy to install, easy to care for, keeps rooms exactly the temp you want and energy efficient.
Been cleaning, and cleaning, super tired and a bit sore!!
Finally a break today from the humidity, so nice to have a day without the ACs on. Probably going to get a mini split next year. Can't take the noise from the window ACs, and not fun for hubs to take them in and out. I would love central air, but that would cost a fortune, because we don't have any duct work.
Brandee - that must have been delicious.
Today 1/2 a smoked meat sandwich on high fiber seeded bread with mustard and a handful of greens, 2 grape tomatoes, 2 strawberries and a very small choc coconut cookie!
We had a lot of fun, a couple of boat tours, to islands, stopped and went in Bolt Castle. Had a fun small tour with 2 other couples. Lots of restaurants, and learned all about the history of the Gilded age and the
Artistics.
I've been wanting cherries to!
Golden that sounds like my kinda dinner!!
cw - The other day I was thinking it was time for cherries.
Ribs tonight with corn and beans. I will make some spicy corn bread too and a big green salad with mandarins and walnuts. Jellied salad for dessert.
Hopefully the cherries are just late starters and when they do show up they will be better for it :-)
“ Jaws @ 50 documentary “ by National Geographic. It premiers late tonight but can stream it tomorrow night on Disney Plus and Hulu .
The Victim ( Lasagna )
Seaweed ( salad )
Shark teeth ( shaped garlic bread slices )
Fishing poles ( pretzel rod with pull and peel line and swedish fish
Fish and Chips ( Goldfish , potato chips )
Chum (watermelon grapes etc in a bowl)
Shark fins ( cookie fins on cake)
Happy Birthday Jaws 🦈🦈🦈🎂🏖️🚣 🎈
Oh my, the cherries are so delicious! We just got the 1st batch and I am praying that they will be as good throughout the season.
I make small batches of preserves to enjoy out of season and the cherry preserves from last season were wonderful on vanilla ice cream this winter, especially with some dark chocolate.
The whole orange sounds delish. Oh, some orange, cranberries and cinnamon, a desert bread, yummo!
Herbs are great for amping up bread. Love rosemary and olive oil.
Chipotle powder with some white cheddar makes a great combo.
Just some ideas.
Love, love, love homemade cranberry sauce with turkey and chicken. Mmmmgooood!
Had left over frozen turkey dinner here yesterday and home made cranberry sauce. I'm sorting out the freezers and it's cool days this week. Sent the rest of it off with R to the farm for a quick meal for him.
Found a good gluten free, dairy free corn (like) low carb bread mix. Great texture and very moist. I'll have to figure out how to ramp up the flavour without adding lots of carbs.
Woke up to 65 F (18C) this morning. Fresh!!!
We are going to smoke some chicken, hot dogs and a ham. Yippee! No cooking for me all weekend and next week just prepping different veggies to fill the meal. Love holiday weekends!
God Bless America!
