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.

Are those easy to make? I love black beans!
My mom and grandma were excellent cooks. It’s funny how we can follow a recipe exactly but in our minds it never tastes as good as when our mom made it!
Nice! Glad that you enjoyed the visit.
I recommend frozen fruit and making a chunky (smooshed blueberries) pureed (frozen) fruit sauce to use on the cake or do this and buy a frozen cheesecake to use it on.
No flambé at home in using the crockpot, but delicious nonetheless! And zero heat from my oven - which I love!
My friend just emailed me she was asked to bring cake, so I guess a bowl of berries to go with will be perfect (and easy).
Look it up and see.
My sister always made a strawberry one with some fresh strawberries on top, never a piece left.
I am sure that whatever you make it will be enjoyed by all!
My thin husband always checks out deserts first!! 😊
New Orleans gal, here! Now, you’re speaking my language!
My grandfather liked to add orange slices too; canned mandarins if fresh wasn't available. Some years we used grapes off the vines or peaches or cherries; one year the trees yielded enough pears to include them too. I remember making a couple of quarts of this for my great-great-aunts one year at Christmas (they were in their 90s) and them being delighted. I made some every month after that and my mother would take it to them when she took their clean laundry.
Don't know where this recipe came from; I just remember it always being around. We did change it to use yogurt instead of mayonnaise because some people in the community got ill from a mayonnaise based poisoning.
That works!
Chocolate syrup, whipped cream and nuts would work too.
You don’t have to get the most expensive ice cream.
I'm considering a bowl of strawberries & blueberries with ice cream, the strawberries are "on sale" this week for $5 and the blueberries for $3, but the pint of premium ice cream is gonna set me back $7 (but only $5.50 each if I buy two 🙄).

Have to start writing out a grocery list.
I am glad that his back pain has eased up.
My husband and oldest daughter get kidney stones. They are painful.
Thanks for asking.
He is OK.
Excellent care, tests and so on and not even close to solving mystery of it all. All they can say maybe he had kidney stone and passed it after hospital admission, make a little sense as some symptoms were there and then lately his back pain got better.
So total of 5 minutes of OT/ PT and now they say instead of going to rehab facility he is ready to go home tomorrow.
He is good and all that is due to PD as they say now, which for two weeks they were sure it was not.
I am sure I am going to return to my whine with more news!
How is your husband doing?
Happy Birthday!
When my daughters were in college they used their crockpot to make meals.
They still use the crockpot for some dishes but now the air fryer has become the thing for them!
