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 always semi poach my fried eggs. They would work fine for Eggs Benedict.
ITRR You can use an egg poacher so they come out very nice and neat.
Love asparagus any way! Roasted veggies are great. I must get back to roasting a pan or two of veggies to keep in the fridge. Very handy! If you cut up carrots like potatoes you can make carrot fries. They are lovely right out of the oven.
I roasted a pork belly tonight. There were some strange things in the fridge and freezer when I came here.Things I would not normally buy. Pork belly is one of them. But I had done it once before in Fort Mc and it and the crackling turned out well. The meat is so tender and you cook most of the fat out of it.
I tried one here earlier with a fancy recipe and ended up throwing most of it out so no more fancy recipes for me! 😉
This is an amazing, easy dish and feels like you are eating at a Michelin 5 star restaurant.
Edit: we love to try new foods, today we enjoyed duck feet, wing and tongue. I was floored how delicious it was, however, I couldn't look at it because it was weirding me out and making it hard to even try, so I looked at my love and enjoyed.
also I'm going to make candied carrots because i bought soooo many carrots x_x
poaching eggs is very challenging and i don't do it very often. i get very mixed results when I do ;-)
These days I am making a lot of soups - meal in a bowl type. The last one was ground turkey and lentils (and other veggies). Makes for easy suppers and good in the cold weather.
Blueberry scones with a lemon and ginger glaze sounds like something I need to try. Mmmm!
I love scones! One day I may try to make them. I buy them at my favorite coffee shops.
I spoil my four legged grandchildren. One daughter has kitties and the other one has a dog.
My girls say to me, “Mom, if we have kids are you going to spoil them as much as the fur babies?” I told them that I just might! 😆
I want to be invited to one of your teas! Sounds amazing!
Golden,
I love spicy! Yum! 😋
Made sweet and sour cabbage soup with a little heat added and just finished a bowl full. It is really good and just what I needed on a cold January day. I'll freeze some for when R gets home. I know he will like it too.
Yesterday I had a holiday tea for my birthday. The restaurant made gluten free treats for me.
There were savory treats, scones, and sweet treats. All gluten free.
You’re right about leftovers. I have always told everyone to pack up food take home with them. They love it and I don’t feel as bad about cooking so much food.
I freeze some for another time as well. If I don’t freeze it, we can’t eat everything.
How wonderful that you are going to be a grandmother!
You have great neighbors! Sounds delicious! Enjoy!
I don’t bake a lot of cookies either.
Every once in a great while, I make oatmeal raisin cookies for my husband. He loves them.
I love looking at all of the holiday cookies in bakeries and stores. They are so pretty!
Unless they are my cookies. Ha. Ha.
I can make many dishes and some baking, yet, my cookies are awful.
Ana,
It is Xmas so no calories!
I am going to gobble some Godiva chocolate and macaroons.
Already ate few slices of stollen which I bought for my German guests, still have some Panettone.
Merry Xmas to all!
Sounds like a good trade to me!
