Honey Roasted Pnut butter and a spoon.......

10pm. I just finished changing dad's pamper. I haven't eaten dinner yet. I was just wondering what I can eat. No, I didn't cook rice. Got sidetracked with balancing all the bank accounts and writing out checks.

I was just thinking ... I got a whole new loaf of bread. What can I do to it - to make dinner? I smiled when I read LadeeM's dinner. Aha! I still have an unopened can of chunky peanut butter. Nah, I don't feel like eating that. Most likely I'll scramble eggs and salami sandwich, with a dash of tabasco on the meat.

edna is pretty smart , ash . she probably realizes i was being taken advantage of . poa is being removed because of inaction , lack of communication ,and poor priorities . all involved must realize the added strain that puts on someone trying to provide daily care . edna will pitch a bitch to the right person and our little country rides will resume . the rides had been verbally ordered by her doc previously .. on the night i was supposed to be relieved to see my grandkids i hadnt seen in 2 years , poa was spending time with her grandkids . that shows its own brand of stupidity without any help from anyone ..

Watch NBC Nightly News tonight on the underreporting of Alzheimer's deaths on death certificates. The immediate cause is what is normally listed. Pushing for more information on death certificates in order to increase research funding for Alzheimer's.

Cap I have a huge (and I mean huge) tree that is dead inside and must come down. As it's by the road the township will take it down. Much of it will have to come down by rope and chain but the rest will be dropped over into the field. Can't do it until the soya bean crop is off. Enough wood there to feed the wood stove for a couple of years :)

Book, if I had a loaf of bread and some eggs, I'd have a fried egg sandwich, with ketchup. If I had a loaf of bread and cheese, I'd have a grilled cheese sandwich. If I had a tomato I'd put slices into the grilled cheese sandwich.

thats too easy ash . the power company told us 25 yrs ago that a big dead tree wasnt their problem . i asked the wife to call the power company and tell em that drunk sob was out in the garage sharpening his chain saws and the tree was coming down . they had a crew out there taking the tree down within 24 hours . life belongs to the ones who run the biggest bluff ..

Since my car is disabled I needed to make dinner with what is on hand. I had a small package of breaded shrimp, just right for the two of us. And I had some leftover fresh spinach that needed using up. I searched for a salad recipe and selected Spinach Salad with Honey Bacon Dressing from the Food website. I happen to have all ingredients on hand. It was awesome! (I'd put one more egg in it next time.)

Culver's for some unneeded calories
Now that my sister and her friend left I have to resume cooking only for two. Dad was great on eating leftovers of the recipes I tried and wouldn't make again. He says the food at the assisted living place is good but he isn't a fussy eater to begin with.

i boiled my chicken then realized i have a fasting blood draw in the morning with the indian doc . i dont think shes a robot but shes still pretty nice looking . i wouldnt kick her out of bed unless she had , like , male genitalia or something . man that'd be a deal breaker wouldnt it ?
jeanne , the shrimp salad does sound good . i have a couple of monstrous cans of sardines in tomato sauce . i should rip the label off of em before i find out what kind of polluted , punjab , lagoon they came from i s' pose . theyre from the dollar general store . its a good bet they didnt come from under the icelandic shelf or the coast of norway ..

I had my cataract removed this morning and slept all afternoon. Dinner was mystery soup from the freezer (label came off) and corn meal muffins. Mystery turned out to be Fiesta Soup (sort of a chili with Southwest flavorings). It was good to wake up to cooking fragrances as Barb took over tonight. Think I'll have some watermelon later, when I wake up to take my final eye drops of the day.

Corn muffins. Mmm mm mm. I'm southern enough to love them crumbled up in milk.

It would have been a good day for a roast in the crock pot here. I tunred the a/c off (not that it was running) and opened all the window, and I'm thinking of pulling on a long-sleeved shirt. Nice October day.

What we are having is hamburgers. Since we weren't sure how I'd be the day after cataract removal, and since Pat is home today, we scheduled him to make his famous burgers. I know it involves beer and fresh mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoe, and Swiss cheese but I'm happy to leave the details with him. :)

(I'm doing fine. I could have pulled a dinner together, but I don't mind a little break.)

helpontheway, do you leave the skins on your potatoes?

Enjoy the break Jeanne!! Glad you doing fine.

Dinner tonight is left over tri tip that will be cut up into cubes. I am making oven baked brown rice, when done I will add the tri tip and some sauted veggies. Since hubby doesn't like gravy...I will make gravy just for me. A salad with sunflower seeds, tomatoes, green leaf, onions and cucumber and feta cheese.
Have good evening, almost 2 pm here so got to get going on dinner.

Hi Jeanne,
tonight I am doing russett ones so I will peel. When I do the red ones I leave the skin on. Funny I have never thought about leaving the skins on for mashed even though I do when I bake, fry or scallop. Has anyone ever tried the russett mashed with skins?

i never peel potatoes .
im going to eat my boiled chicken tonight . having one or two jaw teeth removed tomorrow . at my age i still have plenty . glad they behaved till the hepc tx was over .
ednas poa is being hateful again . i was ok when i was caring for her mom for 11 months but get bent and leave it to her for a few days and im a sorry dog . its ok . ive learned when someone is screwing with you to carry on without so much as a mean look . it just burns em to the ground .
it takes practice but its a blast after you get good at it . every one in three different agencies knows whos been doing the work . i have nothing to prove to her or anyone ..

When I first married Coy his teenage daughters were used to rotating the cooking. The first time they made mashed potatoes and left the skin on I made a separate pan with peeled potatoes. I wasn't going to eat the skins just because they were lazy cooks. Ha! They were great with the skins on and I stopped peeling them myself.

But the skins interfere with mashing if you are doing it with a stand mixer or an immersion blender. I'm thinking of hunting through the stuff stored in the basement to find a potato masher. That old-fashioned non-electric tool handled the peel just fine!

i particularily like fried potatos with the skins intact .
i eat apples in a peculiar way , speaking of lazy . i cut it in half and eat apple , skin , core , seeds and all . they are just too troublesome to peel and core to suit me ..
i think the skins are the best part of a baked potato ..

Ate alone tonight. Tuna salad melt on skinny buns and potato wedges tossed in olive oil, dill weed, parsley, and coarse salt then roasted. I made plenty of those for a future meal. Also had cookies with mini M&Ms that I made last night. Nice!
