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.
Then I looked through a 2006 Betty Crocker check-out stand recipe book for Rotisserie Chicken, and the very first recipe in it was for an easy paella with chicken, shrimp, and chorizo sausage, all of which I had on hand. It also includes "chicken-and-garlic rice and vermicelli mix, which turns out to be Rice-a-Roni. Would you have known that? :D Along with it we had a cute little bowl of canned peaches with fresh blueberries and kiwi, with a strawberry garnish. (We do like our fruit!) And a GS Thin Mint cookie for dessert.
The canned peaches in a jar from Costco are the best canned fruit I have ever eaten. They are almost worth a Costco membership in and of themselves! I used to put them in Coy's milkshakes. They make a great base for a hot fruit compote, too. Good stuff.
" i ainta payin it , let em keep it " .. lol
never heard of Yonanas! I will check it out. How is that wedge thing working for you? What's it called? Now I am thinking about one of those for me too. But I am 5' 10 " so I better get the blue one.
On the other hand, a friend of mine does not care much for cooking and she has a husband that calls her in the morning with his wishes for dinner. Drives her nuts!
Sometimes it would be nice to have requests on the days I'm not so motivated. It's nice when my mom asks for something she cooked for me in my childhood. She was a great cook and I'm happy to not have to think about 'what to make' and get out her recipes.
I may have my problems with my mom, but when it comes to food, we're A-Okay.
i think cravings are your bodys way of getting what its needing. ive been craving a pint of loud mouth but my liver says no. wish these different biological systems would stfu and get along.
Glad you and your mum get along foodwise.
Gary likes most things, but watches what he eats, which I admire. You are what you eat. He is very self disciplined that way. He has a sweet tooth, but doesn't overindulge. 6'2" and 185 lbs. and still wears clothes he had years and years ago. Of course, hauling hay and horses helps to keep him fit. Neither of us care much for breads or white potatoes (except for latkes and baked).
cap - that particular craving in not something your body needs - something it wants, but definitely does not need. Glad you are giving your liver a break.
My frig is pretty full right now - good thing as grandson is coming over to cat and house sit. He will clean it out. :)
I don't know how to say this, but maybe it would be good to hear once in awhile, "Those enchiladas you made were really good", could you make those again?
My husband is so food neutral. That is MY problem not his and I realize that now. My kiddo is like me, poor kid. He works at a restaurant after school and appreciates my efforts. He got my foodie ways from our trips into the big city. Real pho and ban mi. Carnitas tacos and Jamaican jerk.
I will give my husband a nod that he wants to make fresh pasta tomorrow. I need to justify that Atlas pasta machine.
I don't know if I would like requests - I kind of go with the flow.
At least your man does some cooking. Gary can, but is too busy. A couple of New Years ago we went north to a cabin for "our" holiday time. I told him my only need was for him to cook all the meals. He did a fine job.
Oh my, " Real pho and ban mi. Carnitas tacos and Jamaican jerk." I am so limited by my food allergies. My dim sum days are over.
i spin out..
Oh my! Seriously good dinner.
And, Jeanne .. oh, yum.
Meanwhile, I had top ramen.
