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 just did not want to cook it, so I cut it up into stew meat.
3+ hours later and it was still tough, served with broth and carrots.
Maybe a pressure cooker can help make it more tender.
Trouble.
What a waste.
I thought that my dad was eating steak. So, I said, “Mom, I want steak like daddy.”
She put the meat on my plate. That was a sneaky way to get me to try liver!
It was the grossest 🤮 thing I have ever eaten.
It took me awhile to forgive my mother for tricking me.
My dad loved liver and onions. It smells delicious as it’s cooking but it tastes awful.
Btw, my mother made corn chowder a lot. As a woman with low vision, it was something she could manage.

Your friend sounds sweet. What a cool lady!
I took my mom for sushi one evening to see if she would like something different. She freaked out!
We sat at the sushi bar because I thought she might like seeing the sushi chef. What a dumb mistake! LOL 😆
My husband and daughters told me that she wouldn’t like it. I should have listened to them.
Mom ended up getting shrimp tempura.
She wanted to learn how to use chopsticks, so we had dinner and entertainment :-)
I needed a day with someone not trying to work me.
so, I rolled out some dough and made hand pies.
My honey loves ground beef enchiladas and I found using tomato sauce and bone broth in my sauce is a great taste. The type of chili makes a difference too.
I should add that I make my bone broth separate and then we are not dealing with bones in the meal. I cook my meats in the bone broth and that richens the broth.
When I make a soup or stew, I can now go ask Maricruz how to make it.
The bones from the pork shoulder were useless in there.
I used to make wonderful enchiladas, but forgot how. It was a huge deal, placed on a great cookie sheet to make lots. But not authentic mexican.
Thank you for the resource.
My cocido has beef, carrots, potatoes, Mexican squash, corn on the cob and string beans. There is no chili's in the broth, however, there is a Spanish stew that is similar with chili's.
Bones were a major presence.
Looked just like the cocido soup!
