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.
edna crammed PIA ' s hate mail to me up her nose last night ( as id predicted ) , PIA got bent and put up a sign that was supposed to ban me from NH i guess . edna told head nurse ( yes , the one with the dirty knees ) that shed as soon have me there as she would PIA . they must have reached some kind of accord cause im still visiting for now . im not stressin a bit about it . edna is not incompetent and she has rights that PIA aint comprehending ..
my son , cubehead , told me today that he, as an emt , has a couple or three questions he asks of elders when he answers a run , and if the elder can answer them POA might as well pack sand . im glad to hear that cause if my poa ever tried to climb atop of my head id shiv the sob ..
hope22, do you have to use a bread maker for homemade bread?( ok I know kinda of a dumb question)
captain, do you eat the salami from the deli or the lunch meat isle? My gramps swears by the Deli because its thin cut and not "chewy". I like em both. Don't forget swiss cheese on it!!!
dont get big headed wal treason . an article on daily mail this week shows a generic ice cream sandwich from wal treason that didnt melt after 12 hours being left out at 80 + degrees .
its rather sad really . it is neither ice nor cream . ( wth is it then )
Reminds me about all the talk on Twinkies!!!
hope ya dont mind me taking a shot at the breadmaker question . i personally dont use a machine . even if the bread were lighter the family process of breadbaking would disappear . breadmaking is an event . a 3 hour process where the family screws around , each doing their thing , an occasional bread related comment , and anticipation . we just done breadbaking in chicago a few weeks ago with the g - kids and the little girl picked up on the " event " part of it . upon being told i was coming back she wants to bake bread . probably the aromas are what ' got ' her .
you never seen it coming did you ?
I buy the generic stuff all the time...LOVE Great Value products...have also found a lot of Clover Valley products to be good too..
on another subject ;
the whine thread has caught up to the food thread in number of comments so rapidly that it makes me wonder if people would rather b*tch than eat ? thats scary .
hope , i think i learned about french bread mostly from the joy of cooking . little things like dusting the baking sheet with cornmeal for crunchy bread bottoms and such . sweet milk brushed over top when done to soften it .
i tell my son the liquid you start with is ; warm water , greasy , sweet , salty , yeast . season to taste . begin .
Well... dinner will be back to our regular way of cooking. I'll just cook the left over vienna sausages with lots of onions, then throw in the 'juice' that it came in from the can. That was the way mom used to cook the vienna. I usually prefer to cut the small viennas into 3 pieces, throw in 2 small cans in the pot, brown it with the onions, then throw in water, can of tomato, mushrooms, corn and olives. That usually lasts us for lunch, dinner and still have leftovers for the next day. Being lazy tonight - keeping it simple.
the vienna sausage recipe bout gave me an erection -- cept for the vienna sausages . little brown n serve breakfast links sound better for it .
if your recipe gave me priapism , then id go to the er .
na , id put on some baggy pants and smuggle that sob into town . he he
Kazz you are too funny! I love sweet potatoes. Wrap them in wax paper and nuke. When cold slice and fry with garlic powder. Going to try to grow some next year. Living in the middle of nowhere I tend to only buy (especially in winter) russet and sweet potatoes as they keep for ages in the pantry.
i think americans call a turnip a fn turnip . man these differences run deep . we dont eat the ghastly things tho , we throw them from overpasses .
