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.
Time to have a moment to me I think oh wait I am doing its 6:00 am here so I am going to have yet another long long day
People are, more and more, just going out. Return home for the dessert?
Anybody out there ever made the holiday turkey in advance?
I'm not sure if there would be any real advantage to this, but I have a tiny kitchen and it is open to the dining room, so entertaining this weekend is going to be a challenge.
Helps to have a heavy gauge baking pan...
1 lb shrimp fits very nicely in 1/4 heavy duty baking pan. 2 lbs, probably a half tray.
oven @ 350 degrees
1 lb shrimp, cleaned, shelled, deveined
tbsp and half olive oil
2 or more garlic cloves run through a press
little salt and pepper
2-4 tbsp butter softened
Mix oil, garlic, s&p on pan.
Dry shrimp on towel, dump in pan and toss with oil, garlic, s&p.
Bake for 6 - 12 minutes depending on size of shrimp. (You will have to experiment a little.)
Just about a minute before it is done, drop some of the butter on the pan.
Take it out, stir it into the shrimp, then scrape into a serving bowl.
Have it with toast, noodles, rice, etc.
I've been looking up recipes for haricots (French green beans), which will be the side tomorrow.
Holds everything, like if I needed to saute spinach and kale it would fit.
Keep cooking, Jeanne! Sounds delish, so nice to share. Looked on the roku/tv tonight, seems like all the good cooking shows cost extra to view now. Just needed healthy ideas, in between the comfort food which I love.
How are you tonight?
It is 2 am here. I'm about to start tomorrow's dinner. Bistro Mac & Cheese -- multiple kinds of cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, garganzola -- oh yeah, it is good.
I'll share this my friend whose husband has cancer. It is an easy dish to heat up any time you are ready.
That's okay, it does not exist.
Tonight was church night and since hubby agreed to start going to church with me again, we decided to have dinner out with Mom and a couple we are close to that just got married. We had a wonderful dinner and the message of the service was how to be a Godly husband! I told my husband that I called ahead and special ordered the topic!
Really, really upset....it is real minor, and probably unimportant to all of you excellent cooks out there. Fell asleep last night with my dark chocolate candybar unopened. Today, found it between the pillows, squished, melted. I should save it for halloween, ha..
We have a phatn'juicy burger place that recently opened nearby, now advertising Loisiana fried chicken just today. Never ate there, but just cannot place my trust in such a diverse menu in such a tiny shop that just failed to sell boba lollicup-somethings.
My husband called what I made tonight Chili-mac, hoping I never remember how to make that again. Saving money on grocery is just not worth it.
Tonight it was very late when it was time for dinner and I had nothing prepared, so it was take out. Mom and I split a calzone and hubby asked for a QP with cheese and French fries. I don't like doing that but there are times when I would just like to sleep through it.
We are having take out tonight from the Fried Clam place that does Gluten Free!!! YAY!!
