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.
That works!
Chocolate syrup, whipped cream and nuts would work too.
You don’t have to get the most expensive ice cream.
I'm considering a bowl of strawberries & blueberries with ice cream, the strawberries are "on sale" this week for $5 and the blueberries for $3, but the pint of premium ice cream is gonna set me back $7 (but only $5.50 each if I buy two 🙄).
Luau bowl
Have to start writing out a grocery list.
I am glad that his back pain has eased up.
My husband and oldest daughter get kidney stones. They are painful.
Thanks for asking.
He is OK.
Excellent care, tests and so on and not even close to solving mystery of it all. All they can say maybe he had kidney stone and passed it after hospital admission, make a little sense as some symptoms were there and then lately his back pain got better.
So total of 5 minutes of OT/ PT and now they say instead of going to rehab facility he is ready to go home tomorrow.
He is good and all that is due to PD as they say now, which for two weeks they were sure it was not.
I am sure I am going to return to my whine with more news!
How is your husband doing?
Happy Birthday!
When my daughters were in college they used their crockpot to make meals.
They still use the crockpot for some dishes but now the air fryer has become the thing for them!
I use my microwave a lot too to jump start things I'll finish in the little oven - things like baked potatoes for example, or apple crisp.
My daughter cooks chicken, salmon, veggies, reheats pizza, and lots more. She loves her air fryer. I have not bought one but she keeps telling me that I should get one.
She also said that restaurants use them to crisp up certain dishes at the end of cooking. Her friend who is a cook at a nearby restaurant told her that.
I think it’s like a microwave, they are handy to have but in no way can take the place of a stove or oven. It’s a complementary item that may be nice but isn’t necessary.
I do use my microwave often but not necessarily to cook anything.
I wonder if air fryers cook faster than an oven does. Do they? Is the flavor any different? Or just a convenience thing?
Oh gosh, yes everyone was cooking at home during Covid.
You’re a great cook so I am sure that you put it to good use!
You have all of those boys to feed! My daughter lives alone so she has a small air fryer. You would need a larger size fryer. Maybe two, with your household.
Hahahaha 😝. Well, you tried! How long was it before you got flat? A minute or two? LOL
your husband and I have the same birthday.
I finally took my electric tryke out to play, today. Got the seat
properly set, comfortable handle bar position. Took it for a few loops in
my field....and got a flat. HAHAHAHAHAHA
And DQ ice cream cake!
As I understand it, the air fryer cookes faster and with less oil, but I can bake or roast just about everything in my normal oven with a spray of oil.
I'd say I use my air-fryer several times a week like your daughter does.
Mine isn't just an air-fryer though. It's a multi-tasker. Air-fryer, toaster oven, convection oven, food dehydrator. It does it all.
It was a Covid impulse buy.
Once in awhile I buy dried apricots. So good!
I haven’t tried those. I’ll have to look for them.
We eat leftovers plenty of times or I freeze the extra food.
Have you ever tried a pluot? they are a hybrid cross between a plum and an apricot. I like them.
I agree with everyone else, in that it is difficult to cook for one when you aren't used to it. Luckily, I love leftovers. They mean I don't have to cook for a while.
I love fresh peaches! I like nectarines too but not as much as peaches and plums.
I love making a yogurt parfait for breakfast. Yogurt, fresh fruit and a little granola or muesli on top.
Made some ribs and barley soup, had both for lunch and dinner.
