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.
Yum. And tomorrow I start my four day holiday in a hotel room with no means of cooking anything. It'll be interesting to see what I come up with that 1) doesn't need refrigeration or some kind of cooking.
Two cans of soup that I an tolerate cold (tomato and something else my tired brain can't think of)
A nice fresh fruit cocktail (basically pre-cut chunks, yum) and bananas
Some lovely mexican pastries
cold cuts and premixed salady stuff for sandwiches
Imitation crab meat (yeah .. bad for me, but I love it)
Snacks (because I'm also a hedonist)
Hummus and veggie crackers
They don't serve breakfast at this place, but I'll order one room service that'll give me leftovers. Headin' out in a few hours. Yay!!
Meh, I don't know what I'm doing for dinner. I'm not in the least bit hungry atm and it's 7 p.m. I had a sandwich earlier and don't really want anything or feel like cooking tonight. My boys are on their own. lol They both know how to cook. I'll probably just do a small salad later on.
im thinking that gal who inspected ednas used chair before we brought it in this evening.
he he, gimmee a break, im a warpy guy..
Standard Ebleskiver
(A Danish Spherical Pancake)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
2 scant cups milk
4 egg whites (preferable at room temperature)
thin slices of apple (or a few blueberries or chocolate chips)
butter for greasing the pan
Note: This requires an Ebleskiver pan -- a frying pan with several little rounded cups. This is what you do with it, in case you run across one at a garage sale, without directions.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat yolks. Add sugar. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk. Add melted shortening, mixing well.
In separate bowl beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.
Place pan on medium heat of stove. Heat until the pan is hot enough so that a small amount of water sprinkled on the surface will sizzle. Place a small dab (less than 1/2 teaspoon) of butter in each cup. Fill each cup about 2/3 full of batter. Let cook until edges appear brown and center is bubbly. Insert a slice of apple or other filling into each.
When bubbly, turn each Ebleskiver over in the cup, using a fork -- small pickle fork works well -- or wooden skewer. Continue cooking, turning a few times more. Test with toothpick. Keep warm in low-temperature oven, uncovered, while you cook the rest.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with butter, syrup, jam, sour cream, etc.
