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 will be starting the walls in the kitchen next week.. They are bead board. So, there are someplaces that will need the grinder, then sand, then patch, then sand, set trim, and finally paint.
Strangely enough, my working on the kitchen seems to have caused a rally with my Mom. It's exciting that there is something happening and she wants to see what is next. The hospice nurse said she won't take a dementia patient off of hospice due to a rally. So, that's good. the extra care she gets is helping, as well.
Tonight will be a simple hamburger and pasta dish.
Must be secret?
Kraut dog!
I am drooling! 7.00 for 3#.
Enjoy and please take a bite for me!
How wonderful! I love lobster! I wouldn’t know how to cook them though. We don’t have lobster here. We have tons of other seafood but no lobster 🦞.
The best lobster I ever had was in Maine while on vacation.
What freezer containers did you buy?
I generally use zip lock bags for freezing in order to save space. I am moving away from plastic storage containers for the fridge and buying glass containers.
I did see some stainless steel ones on Amazon that I thought about but that knocks out defrosting in the microwave. I could defrost by leaving containers in the fridge for a day or two.
Do you do a sour Polish soup or a classic Borscht?
Looking at recipes, I am going to have to make this. Looks so yummy!
I got the combo of veggies and steak, and chicken. They were delicious but there is no way that it could be considered a single serving! You’re right, we can enjoy the leftovers.
When I do Japanese. I do sushi and I love the green tea. We order a couple and share them. I can’t eat leftover sushi. I don’t know why but it grosses me out.
My daughter will stick sushi in the fridge for the next day, but personally I only eat it freshly made. I love other leftovers but not sushi.
I agree that if a place isn’t up to par and raised prices too, they will go out of business because they have plenty of competition.
I have noticed though that shrinkflation is getting to be a bit over the top in some restaurants. One of our favorite Japanese restaurants has made the portions so small now you aren't even full when you are done. And they raised the prices almost 50%. They will end up going out of business if they don't adjust the portions. We aren't big eaters, so I can't imagine how big eaters feel having to order multiple things just for 1 meal.
I can understand why my friend who is divorced saying that for her, it isn’t worth cooking large amounts of food. She’s like I am, doesn’t eat a lot and the food has to be frozen or used for leftovers for another day.
Chinese takeout is the same. One meal is enough for three or four servings
Your husband sounds like a good cook and a sweet guy.
I think I am becoming immune to heat though. I’m trying to figure out which type of heat helps more! LOL 😆
Sometimes I like spicy Chinese. Other times I go for cayenne, hot sauce, etc., or if I am eating Japanese, I will eat wasabi!
I loved my neighbor’s Danes. She had two of them.
I had a dog that would pile the bits she didn't like next to the bowl. She did this with the garbage can too. She would shred the trash all over the downstairs and we finally got her to stop doing that and she started making a neat pile right next to the can. She wasn't going to stop getting in the trash, she just wouldn't make a mess that made me mad. She always had to know what was at the bottom of any trash can, her entire life. That's when I started emptying trash nightly and implemented very small cans in the house. Oh, she would do this any place we went if she wasn't watched closely.
