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.
Sounds delicious!
I took a package of roast beef out of the freezer. Keeping it simple tonight and making sandwiches and a salad.
Milk Chocolate filled with Caramel Brownie Cream
Made in Germany
A lot of very elderly live here, so when I went asking for candy at their house, they did not have any, so I got my own.
I've got a pot of soup on the go, hopefully I haven't cooked it to mush this time.
Did not even know those existed until yesterday.
I guess I was too too busy each season searching
for the white chocolate covered Oreo seasonals.
When Instacart delivers, choices for the best seasonal
items may be missed.
That avatar is absolutely precious! Haagen Dazs is the best!
Yep, all of the Christmas stuff is out. My husband bought eggnog already! LOL 😆

Goodnight Llamalover!
Was your ‘foodie’ daughter picky when she was young?
My oldest daughter wasn’t a picky eater at all when she was growing up. My younger one was extremely picky.
I am shocked that my younger daughter eats such a variety of food now. She eats things now that I never thought that she would be eating in a million years.
I was a picky eater when I was little. My parents didn’t force us to eat something that we didn’t like. We had to taste it but if we didn’t like something we weren’t forced to eat it.
I notice that the best asparagus stalks are thicker and taste better.
Some people have no clue how to prepare them by removing the first inch or two from the bottom. But, I am still open to learning how to do it better.
The produce manager can help you pick Asparagus so you won't end up with woody tree trunks. It is a real thing. 🐿 🥜
HOW TO PREPARE ASPARAGUS FOR COOKING 🥜 🥜 🥜 🥜
"While the tips of asparagus spears are the most tender and flavourful part, the other end of the stem can sometimes become quite fibrous and woody. It’s best to remove this part before cooking."
cw,
Yummy! Home grown veggies are awesome. I do buy veggies from my farmers markets too. My grandfather had a green thumb and would grow all sorts of vegetables.
It is delicious. I roast veggies all the time. Yep, Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top makes it even better.
Have you ever made roasted zucchini fries? So good too!
I asked my DH about the squid ink pasta & he reminded me we did try it with a creamy sauce but it turned the sauce GREY 😁
He's not Italian (wishes he was) but travelled & stayed there for while. He says go simple, like good olive oil, some garlic, basil.
Also says never to trust me on cooking advice unless you want GREY food 🤣
Well our history is Spanish and French. But we have our share of an eclectic mix of people which I love!
Do you eat veggie sandwiches? I do. I don’t eat meat everyday. I will make mushroom burgers, but no meat, 🤣. Just sautéed onions and mushrooms, tamari sauce, cheese, avocado slices and shredded carrots or alfalfa sprouts on top.
I do love mushrooms!
