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 like what happened to the aging care forum:
"Someone was messing around with friends and created a horror story".
Sadder than sad.
No, it's a children's story.
Oh my, I see on line that someone has been messing around with the Pooh and friends and has created a horror film 🙄
I just googled Pooh eating Eyeore. The only thing I found was that it was a horror movie. Apparently, Christopher Robin abandoned his animal friends. Pooh was starving and he made the choice to eat Eyeore.
Even though I never liked the character, Eyeore. I don’t think I would enjoy seeing him eaten. Geeeeez! Crazy plot!
Then I read there is a sequel. Don’t think I would watch either one.
I never read it.
I am shocked.
BBQ donkey?
Goofs happen sometimes, right? 🤪
Oh well…
Make yourself a steak and a baked potato tonight!
Uh oh! Something very similar happened just last night in my kitchen, also having to do with transferring. Details would be boring. But yours was not boring!
I did not enjoy the tuna noodle casserole this time.
Must have been good Cwillie! Cannot find any corn on the cob for two weeks!
This coming from a meat and potatoes lover.
Barb, a vacay and good food! You deserve it!
Well, I learned my lesson about taking a shortcut. She prepares the veggies in a pot, then transfers them to a baking dish.
I decided to skip the step of transferring them to a baking dish and placed my pot in the hot oven to brown the breadcrumbs on top.
I used a pot holder to remove the pot but the damn pot was still super hot. Ouch! My hand was burning even though I was holding the potholder.
I dropped the stupid pot and green beans went flying all over the place! I cleaned them up and mopped my kitchen floor. So, there was about a tablespoon of my green beans left in the pot! LOL 😆 Not even one serving.
Maybe I will make a salad to eat. Or wait and eat an early dinner. Grrrrrrr!
Sounds good! My husband is working late so I didn’t cook anything. I had Siggi’s yogurt topped with fruit. So hot here. Not hungry for a heavy meal.
2 cobs of corn
steamed broccoli and garden beans
one entire zucchini cut into rounds and grilled with garlic and butter.
And the last piece of chocolate banana cake for dessert (hey, it had bananas so technically it was fruit 😉)
Came back to say, cooked fried eggs, added broccoli to saute.
It was good.
When I came back, the little blue man is there now.
I don’t remember people saying that banana peels could make you high. That’s interesting too.
Yes, composting is a wonderful way to use up peelings.
So, you freeze bananas in the peel? I peel them and then freeze them.
I love the discovery of things being used for different purposes.
Anyone remember when people said that smoking banana peels could get you high?
Anyway, I see where some of you hate wasting food. I think most of us don’t like unnecessary waste.
Have you given it a second thought if you throw away banana peels? I know that I haven’t.
The article went on to say that the peel is edible and explained how to prepare the peel to be used.
One suggestion was to cut ends off of the banana peel. Place in pot. Pour over one cup of water and boil. Make a tea, drizzle in maple syrup or honey. It is supposed to help you sleep better.
Banana peels are being studied further. Supposedly they can help with depression, digestive health, eyesight and cancer prevention. Interesting, 🤔
They should be clean and ripe before preparing to be consumed.
Blend into smoothies.
Caramelized with sugar and water to top ice cream
Baked with cinnamon and sugar.
Boiled until soft and eaten with a spoon.
Sautéed in a pan and top with meat.
Would you try any of these or have you done this before? My peels are automatically tossed into the trash.
Oh, this is interesting too. Some say that they use on their face to improve their skin. Others polish their shoes with them! Many other uses as well.
The fresh cherries are so good right now. I have some in my fridge. Also strawberries, peaches, oranges and cantaloupe.
I have been making strawberry smoothies. Love Greek yogurt!
Thx Mr. Horse
