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.
Thinking I need something more, but what?....
Pie would be nice, if I had any pie. I was looking at some recipes for peach custard pie 🤤
My friend took my daughter along on to a blueberry picking farm when she was young. She said that most of the berries didn’t make it into the kid’s baskets! LOL They ate the berries as they picked them.
I love pepper jelly! I glaze my pork loin with it. My daughter eats it on crackers with cream cheese.
I don’t know how to make jelly, jam or preserves. I have never canned any foods.
Grandma did! She had a huge fig tree in her backyard. She made fig preserves.
How was the Italian slaw made? Your dinner sounds delicious!
Dinner was a sandwich from the local Farmer's Mkt.
Pulled Pork on a brioche bun
Special Italian Cole Slaw
Pickles were missing.
$20
No dessert, the price was a bit of a shocker. 😱
You have me looking at a bazillion corn recipes! lol 😆

I love corn cooked on the grill. There is a recipe that uses pepper jelly on the corn. 😋 Yum!
Another one that looks good is the tamale pie!
Corn chowder
Corn fritters
Check it out and let us know which ones you try!
Have you tried any of the Mexican street corn recipes? They look delicious!
Food With Feeling blog! foodwithfeeling.com
They even have a recipe for Mexican street corn nachos. I would eat those as a snack or meal!
This site also has recipes for dog treats. I may have to try making them for my daughter’s dog when he visits us.
I want to try her lentil chili and her sweet potato chili. I make lentil soup and this chili recipe looks great. I love sweet potatoes and have been wanting to try them in a savory way. It looks good too.
Sounds like what happened to the aging care forum:
"Someone was messing around with friends and created a horror story".
Sadder than sad.
No, it's a children's story.
Oh my, I see on line that someone has been messing around with the Pooh and friends and has created a horror film 🙄
I just googled Pooh eating Eyeore. The only thing I found was that it was a horror movie. Apparently, Christopher Robin abandoned his animal friends. Pooh was starving and he made the choice to eat Eyeore.
Even though I never liked the character, Eyeore. I don’t think I would enjoy seeing him eaten. Geeeeez! Crazy plot!
Then I read there is a sequel. Don’t think I would watch either one.
I never read it.
I am shocked.
BBQ donkey?
Goofs happen sometimes, right? 🤪
Oh well…
Make yourself a steak and a baked potato tonight!
Uh oh! Something very similar happened just last night in my kitchen, also having to do with transferring. Details would be boring. But yours was not boring!
I did not enjoy the tuna noodle casserole this time.
Must have been good Cwillie! Cannot find any corn on the cob for two weeks!
This coming from a meat and potatoes lover.
Barb, a vacay and good food! You deserve it!
Well, I learned my lesson about taking a shortcut. She prepares the veggies in a pot, then transfers them to a baking dish.
I decided to skip the step of transferring them to a baking dish and placed my pot in the hot oven to brown the breadcrumbs on top.
I used a pot holder to remove the pot but the damn pot was still super hot. Ouch! My hand was burning even though I was holding the potholder.
I dropped the stupid pot and green beans went flying all over the place! I cleaned them up and mopped my kitchen floor. So, there was about a tablespoon of my green beans left in the pot! LOL 😆 Not even one serving.
Maybe I will make a salad to eat. Or wait and eat an early dinner. Grrrrrrr!
Sounds good! My husband is working late so I didn’t cook anything. I had Siggi’s yogurt topped with fruit. So hot here. Not hungry for a heavy meal.
2 cobs of corn
steamed broccoli and garden beans
one entire zucchini cut into rounds and grilled with garlic and butter.
And the last piece of chocolate banana cake for dessert (hey, it had bananas so technically it was fruit 😉)
Came back to say, cooked fried eggs, added broccoli to saute.
It was good.
When I came back, the little blue man is there now.
I don’t remember people saying that banana peels could make you high. That’s interesting too.
Yes, composting is a wonderful way to use up peelings.
So, you freeze bananas in the peel? I peel them and then freeze them.
I love the discovery of things being used for different purposes.
