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.
I don’t usually do this though. I boil around 5 minutes or so and they are done. I hate overcooked rubbery eggs!
I was skeptical when I read about this method. Of course, I had to test it out for myself! It is foolproof. They came out perfectly cooked.
I do the same. I place them in ice water to stop the cooking process.
I read that the same cooking process can be used for pasta too. Haven’t tried that though.
I am looking forward to August!
Have fun traveling!
I started looking at recipes and saw an interesting split pea curry recipe that I may try one day.
Sometimes I get bored with my cooking and feel like I need to move out of my comfort zone and be a little more adventurous. I find that I cook the same thing over and over.
I am not sure. Have you tried those? I haven’t.
You can make a lot of Indian curries and other things with split peas.
Also, a simple peas and rice.
I think next time I will try a curry. I eat a lot of vegetarian meals. I do eat meat, just not every day.
I will have to look at the recipe again to make sure I have the correct spices.
Do you eat lentil soup? I make that too. I love lentil salad. I buy it at Whole Foods. One day. I want to try and make lentil soup.
I don’t use any meat in my split pea or lentil soup. Some split pea soup calls for ham and I have seen recipes for lentil and sausage soup. I follow a vegetarian recipe for both.
Me too, I like doing one pot meals. I like roasting a ton of veggies all at once on a sheet pan too. That’s a super easy way to cook veggies.
Microgreens are fantastic! I buy them at my local farmers market. I’m glad you bought some to try. They are packed full of nutrients.
I love this Ogden Nash poem
I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny
but it keeps them on my knife.
Probably a chicken salad for supper with spinach, berries, and walnuts.
Awwwww, cute poem.
I had a bowl of my pea soup! I put potatoes and carrots in it. I find it satisfying. Sometimes, I eat a couple of crackers with it. Or a piece of toasted bread.
Oops - put this on the wrong thread, but was thinking of those microgreens.
Try the broccoli. They are good.
I am just going to eat a bowl of cereal for dinner and eat a good meal tomorrow.
Lasagna instead of bbq. Kids are coming , trying to have a normal day for a change .
Hubby is a sweetheart and made our breakfast today, eggs and toast!
