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.
Joking aside sorry she fell but glad she is happy to go there! yes you can still take her out for treats. Mmmmmm maybe some chicken livers!!!
Tonight roast chicken (store bought as a treat) frozen french fries and veg. My dogs are having kibble with roast beef and home made stock.
its good that work is so flexible , i can help her for a few days ..
I'm off next week. Decided to give oldest sis Tues/Thursday off from babysitting. So, I've decided this is a good time to cook real food. I opened one of my many "new" Simple cookbooks, just opened to a page, and there it is: Skillet Macaroni & Beef. I think I will make that on Tuesday. I just need to buy ground beef, garlic powder, onion, (forget the green pepper- my tummy doesn't like it), tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce and elbow macaroni. Of all the 10 ingredients, I only have 3 (salt, pepper and water.)
All well.. I won't do free hand while cooking this American chop suey the first time. Per the beginner's cookbook, cook according to the recipe. And then next time, I can alter it. What they don't understand is - if I don't like it the first time, I'm not about to try it again.
Since you've tried this before, do you think my throwing in mushrooms and/or olives will alter it drastically? I just googled a photo of what it is. It looks awfully plain. sigh... I need to remember to keep to the original recipe. How about just adding olives????
Have it your way ...
book reminds me of the simpsons episode where homer forms the hells satans motorcycle club , runs into the real hells satans out of bakersfield . the real bikers are camped in homers house one morning and all of em are trying to scrounge up breakfast . one fellow is cramming a couple of eggs in the toaster with his fist . not very kitchen savvy , that one ..
im not dead dusty , but mildly annoyed . cousin sharon dumped the responsibility of edna onto me yet she just runs the roads and plays bean - go .
anyone who cant even pronounce bingo probably isnt worth trying to get something out of .
I only cooked half of the large salmon fillet. Now I have to decide whether to freeze the rest or have a rerun tomorrow ...
An indian!! had chicken tikka massala no rice no naan bread cause im a no carb babe! Mum was in flying form loud and foul mouthed using the "f" word alot which was cringing lucky not many people around?
Tonights going to be interesting? mum nor i have any sleeping pills left who kills who first? last night she woke me up 3 times going to the bathroom and thats with 5mg of stilnoct? I dont even now how much sleep i actually get anymore? i dont mind so much with this heatwave as im up and sunbathing early but this is to end tom and rain for next week so i hope i can resolve my sleep issues as i cant deal with mum when im tired. The doc is being mean with pills as thinks im addicted? so will have to go and beg for somemore tom i hate this as i feel like a junkie!! Oh maybe i am one? ive tried everything even counting "sheep" but the pills are the only thing that works for me now they just shut my brain down so i dont have to think.
