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.
Even though I have never tasted rice pudding. We make bread pudding here.

Been so very busy.
I usually do breakfast for dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. I scramble a couple of eggs and eat them with some toast.
That’s awesome that your family had a great relationship with them. They sound like they were wonderful neighbors and friends.
We only had my grandma as our sitter. I remember my first job as a babysitter. I made 50 cents an hour! Back then that was the going rate.
I sat for a two year old boy who was very energetic! I went home and told my mom that I was never going to have kids! LOL 😆
He was a cute kid but he never stopped running around and getting into everything! His parents asked me to sit every weekend so that they could go out to dinner.
I think they wanted to keep me around as a sitter because they told me to help myself to the snacks they bought and ordered pizza for my dinner. I’m sure they needed a break from their rambunctious son!
He looked like a little angel, blond hair and blue eyes, but he was a typical two year old with a bundle of energy!
Sounds delicious!
I have had chicken pot pie before but never with slippery noodles. That’s interesting.
I make a killer macaroni and cheese but no tomatoes. That’s a new one for me too!
I love all kinds of soup! I eat soup all the time. I make lots of different kinds of soup.
If you had Amish neighbors then you ate authentic dishes. That’s awesome!
So, the Amish socialized with those who weren’t Amish? I didn’t think that they normally did that.
They have different sects though and I am guessing that your neighbors weren’t in a super conservative sect.
Did they use a horse and buggy for their transportation? Are they allowed to catch a ride with others occasionally? Do any practicing Amish drive cars?
The Cajuns in Lafayette, Louisiana, not too far away from New Orleans make fabulous sausages. My favorite is andouille sausage. My daughters love the boudin sausage too.
What are your favorite Amish recipes? Do you have any Amish cookbooks? What else are they known for? Do they sell homemade preserves? Don’t they make furniture and quilts? Do you buy theirs products? I love quality craftsmanship.
What’s scrapple ??? Lol
I didn’t know what that was either when I moved to eastern PA.
I have a friend whose father was a Pennsylvania Dutch butcher . My friend told me that scrapple is all the leftover nasty parts after you’ve butchered a pig .
Her father used to make different seasoned scrapple . She said people loved it . But friend said would never eat it because she saw what goes in it .
Your husband sounds like he is a great cook! I love Parmesan cheese.
What’s scrapple? My husband cooks breakfast on the weekends too.
We had Mediterranean food for dinner with our daughter. It was very good. I had lamb dinner, they had chicken shawarma. We had hummus as well.
I was thinking about doing a stir fry this week. I am always roasting veggies with chicken.
I need a change of pace. I like tamari sauce in my stir fry.
Kiwi for dessert.
Sounds amazing!
So-the polenta had set very nicely. There was Italian sausage in the fridge. Which the following evening I cooked. Sliced thinly a large onion, fried it seperatly. Heated the polenta in a non-stick skillet, added the onions. Cut into wedges to plate with the sausage, some cooked spinach to keep it all healthy. Good meal I haven't made in a very long time.
Yum! What flavor? Do you have a favorite berry? Mine is blackberry. I do love all berries though. I make a mixed berry cobbler once in awhile. My husband loves it.
I have been making my own almond butter. It’s super simple to make. I love it. My husband prefers peanut butter. I eat both.
