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.
Kaz, we call the bread-based side dish "stuffing" or "dressing." Maybe it depends on the part of the country, but here in Minnesota both are used interchangeably. It would be more logical to call it stuffing if it is actually cooked in the meat, and dressing if it is cooked separately, but logic has little to do with naming conventions. I recently took a cooking class where I learned a stuffing recipe for pork tenderloin that was mostly dried fruits. Good!
My breakfast salami sandwich was jazzed up with avocado. I cut a slice, used a fork to mash it down, added a little bit of low sodium soy sauce, sprinkled chunky black pepper on it, put tabasco on the salami.. and ate it like that. Yum!!! 11:15am. Time to start making my spam meal for lunch/dinner.
I too love avocados. I envy anyone with a tree! (They wouldn't do so well in Minnesota!)
I've asked oldest bro if there's any way of transplanting an avocado tree to our yard. We have 3 different kinds of mango trees. I'm allergic to mangos. I said that I miss having an avocado tree. Bro knocked down all of our banana trees. We had 2 kinds of banana trees - the one for cooking and the Manila bananas. Dad doesn't know that bro got rid of it. We still have several papaya trees which are too near the house and keep falling after every storm. Bro uprooted the oldtimer ones that withstood the time of storms/typhoons.
its breakfast time right now tho -- coffee and tobacco ..
Am off coffee so tea and ciggy for me! bank holiday here and i should be doing something exciting but another boring wkend here!
Leftover pork tonight i guess then im gonna lay off meat for awhile! did you know pork makes you fart?????
that term caused a little tingle in my groin this morning . since your already hoovering over here in my corner -- eh . theres something wrong with my head .
we vaccum the floors here in the usa ..
William Henry Hoover (no relation) founded what became a huge floor-care equipment company. He did not invent the equipment, but he bought the patent. In the US, even people whose equipment was made by the Hoover company "vacuum" with the equipment, we do not "hoover" with it. :)
hope everybody is having a pleasant weekend . i like to work on the weekends so i feel justified in taking a couple or three days off during the week ..
Maybe if the food was good she would go in again?
You wont know yourself next week it will be hard but you get to be a daughter again and sleep at night hopefully!!
I didnt think americans had cobbler but then i guess you have everything european as so many emigrated there!
You would love beef stew and dumplings then its a suet topping light and fluffy!! with beef stew underneath and carrots but a real comfort winter food!!
Today's dinner - we had only 2 slices of luncheon meat. One for sis, one for me. Since that's not enough food for dinner, I took one of dad's hard boiled egg (he eats daily one egg for breakfast), some leftover brocolli, leftover corn, a slice or 2 of avocado and one Mezzetta yellow chili pepper with rice. It was filling enough. If I still get hungry, I can always eat oatmeal.
