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.
Wing night was a bust with lines out the door. Not standing around in -2. Went to the next town over for their chicken dinner. Hee! Had to wear our coats the whole time it was so cold. The place was dead as a doornail. The 1/4 chicken dinner consisted of a leg the size of a drummie and a tiny thigh. Fries were soggy but the toast was good. Glad it was cheap, relatively speaking nowadays. Didn't complain because I'm just not that way.
It was good to get out and the people that work there are so nice. A Bacardi and Coke and free popcorn didn't hurt either.
Took some beef out of the freezer to make a spicy stir-fry tomorrow for my Szechuan craving.
Okay, I think I might know what American Chop Suey is....does it involve ground beef?
tonight ham, creamy mushroom, onion pasta with lots of black pepper, avocado pesto, and green peas. Probably throw a few grape tomatoes on for colour
Really, I love salmon anyway it can be cooked.
You must be in the same mode, Jeanne, with your green chile stew. :) That sounds fantastic. Do you use canned green chiles or are you able to find fresh? I've been tempted to mail order Hatch green chiles but they're so pricey.
Boni, you must not be Scandinavian. :) Ebelskivers are Danish pancakes, made in a special pan with half sphere indents. You flip the pancakes half way through baking so they come out round. They're lighter than a traditional pancake. Serve with jam or jelly.
I agree, it is important to remain as normal as possible. Lasagna sounds awesome.
My mom has faced some challenges lately, but is capable and wants to live independently. I was with her Saturday, visited Sunday for a Super Bowl party at my sisters and visited at her house yesterday. Tonight I will be working late and will just call her.
Dinner is stuffed green pepper, one of my healthy favorites. I may even break out a blasts of wine.
Enjoy a normal dinner with family
