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.
Though dad will eat basically anything which is a good way to get rid of leftovers.
cornbread smells good with a dash of garlic powder in it ..
Smelling the fish w/wine cooking...takes me back to the days when I was cooking at The Mill. The heady scent of evaporating white wine mixed with dill, butter and lemon...the heat of the big convection oven...the ding of the service bell at the counter as the wait staff brought in yet another order...the faint rattle of dishes and cutlery in the dishroom...laughing to myself as I cooked and listened to Lynn, the big, raw-boned head cook bellow the lyrics to "There's a Tear in my Beer" as she waltzed herself around the cavernous kitchen in that huge, historical building...I miss those days.
I have 2 months to get my cholesterol down or doc insists on statins i just havnt got the motivation as im tired and drained and under so much stress but i will have to start eating healthy or ill get ill.
I just need a kick up the a** to get out and get motivated its so hard when your world is upside down its hard to get exicted about salad and veg!! COOOL just realised ive got 2 squares of swiss choc left thought id finished it what a buzz to find this!!!!!!! LOL
ill say of his new attempts to mend relationships with me the same thing i said of my youngest when phsyc asked me tue if youngest caused me stress . na , we'll slam heads as long as i live -- ill see to it . i say this because in his frenzy to collect up his kids and spend the summer with them i still havent heard of any arrangements for grandpa to have quality time with the grandkids . mending fences with me requires more than a sappy e mail , its going to require he get his head out of his a** and have consideration for people around him a bit -- or we'll end up with email blocks on each other again . i have my finger on the button already , lol ..
the cornbread just plain sucked -- probly because im too cheap to buy eggs .
itll get eaten ..
Well its better than "shut the .....up im doing it already".
i got into the charles atlas grade heavy lifting again today -- worked up an appetite . i had strawberry rice AND beans tonight . who says you cant have it all ?
I have to say back in the seventies when i was a kid a californian woman came to town and opened an all american cafe WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW her coleslaw was to die for she died with that recipe, love or money could not get that "gal" to give us it. I think that she may have put a bit of cream in it but it was to die for i still can taste it! And it was my first hamburger experience they were awesome then that crappy Mcdo came along and ruined real food!!
"Well its better than "shut the .....up im doing it already".
That SO describes how I'm feeling today.
yea kaz , some nut jobs around here make it in a sweet / sour style . its f**king horrid..
A bad day? I think i will demand to see a shrink and beg him to lock me up because i must be "NUTS" to have such patience!
"a day in the life of a carer eh?"
might mow the little orchard once but thats it .
its just more airborne trash than i care to breathe for something so purely cosmetic .
Every Friday at work, we have foodie Friday where something is cooked with products from our grocery store. Yesterday was this chicken in the lime chipotle marinade. The employees get to try it and we get a free bottle of the marinade....then we sample it out to customers. This is so good...little prep time involved.
my breakfast takes little preperation -- coffee / tobacco . been thinking about throwing a cigarette worth of tobacco in the percolator . nicotene buzz , less inhaled tobacco . thats how far outside the box i am . how people have always done things doesnt interest me in the least . ill let you know when i try it . might be some good tasting coffee . ya dont know unless you try ..
kidding ( try me ) . im sure it was celery seed . the cole slaw was downright zippy and i dont remember using horseradish .
id like to get prepared and jack someone for some end of garden vegs in late summer . this variety of whatevers left is bitchin in your favorite pickling brine and canned up .
'n i dont mean to boast.
but i just fried up what i like the most .
dont laugh , those s*its are keeping my hemoglobin up imo . many people on this hepc tx are getting so anemic they require procrit injections or even whole blood transfusions . im , on the other hand kicking dirt in the devils face ..
