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 get the skinless, boneless ones in olive oil -YUM. Some good Omega-3s in there! Of course, I have to eat them outside, because they drive Mom nuts. LOL
I gave each boarder a cookbook and asked them to pick one recipe. Tonight we had Barb's pick, a wild rice salad with ham, pepper cheese, lots of veggies, and a dressing made with curry powder and dry mustard. We all liked it well enough to put it on the repeat list.
For dessert we had croissant, split, slathered with Nutella, and willed with fresh raspberries. Awesome.
i have a giant 2 quart cherrie crisp in the oven right now .
those glazed cherries are beautiful , me and edna aint waitin for winter..
