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.
My breakfast was oatmeal with a dollop of greek yogurt and a spoonful of brown sugar. Okay, it was two spoonsful. And I like my coffee strong, sweet and light.
Coffee.
Poached eggs, sourdough toast, no salt, no butter.
Whatever looks good at the farmers market! Bye y’all. Enjoy your day!
Hope your soup is good, once the chicken is delivered.
I might use my chicken to make some soup this time.
Cashew,
Waffles are great! Do you put butter and syrup in every hole?
With butter.
I love Trader Joe’s!
People often mistake my kindness for weakness.
I will always choose my own butter and the price I am willing to pay.
Butter freezes well.
I will do without butter if the price goes up.
I once wrote trader joe's to keep their butter prices down, and they did.
I love butter! No one mess with my butter!
I used to buy only Trader Joe's butter, salted or unsalted.
It was about $3 instead of $5.00/lb.
I forget what year that was, lol.
My favorite is the Irish butter. I buy it whenever it’s on sale.
My sis and BIL are always complaining about the cost of the big tubs of margarine, I think they must slather it on everything. I really don't use butter often but when I do use it I want to taste it - 2 pats sounds about right to me Send! Just now I was looking over my shopping list and trying to decide whether to buy the no name butter at $6.50 or wait for the better stuff to come on sale.
I love soup and cook it year round! Super hot where I live too.
I prefer whole grain bread to white bread.
I have never cooked kale. I know it’s extremely healthy. Does it taste like other greens? Spinach? Turnip or mustard greens? I cook spinach.
Is she the butter police?
Actually, my uncle who had a heart condition was told by his cardiologist not to eat margarine. He said that butter was better to eat.
My uncle, mom’s brother lived to be 96! Towards the end of his life his nursing home had to purée his food due to swallowing issues.
He ate butter throughout his life.
She said: "Why are you eating so much butter?"
That was the last time we went to lunch.
I am kind of getting used to people judging me, or just being mad at me, or not talking to me.
And, I am starting to like not having to talk to them anymore.
Lately, people I know have started to say "I am confused, can you explain what you meant?". As I see it, it was in writing, it is self explanatory. I try to explain, and the person gets more confused, saying they still do not understand. Maybe there is a cognitive distortion or dementia? (age 80?). Or, it could be just me.
I have only eaten fresh mangos. Canned peaches are fine. I don’t know if I would like canned mangos.
My mom, my aunt and grandmother placed the butter in the fridge.
Some people leave ketchup out at room temperature too. I knew one person who didn’t refrigerate mayonnaise. I never ate anything at her house. I was concerned about food poisoning.
This was unfortunate for us as she would know quickly if we were being greedy with the butter 🤣
I kept the same habbit for many years. (Now sadly reducing the real stuff).
My workplace has re-advised the health regulation that the little butter sachets must only be out of the fridge for 2 hours max. So people take from fridge, microwave & yellow puddles are left all over, maybe some melted plastic too. 🙄
And I agree doughnut peaches are the best things ever!!
You’re right though, it may be tempting to eat more of it than you normally would.
Both of my daughters love cheese! They could eat the whole package of cheese by themselves.
I think you’re right about the fancy containers too. I cleaned out all of my kitchen cabinets awhile back and donated tons of things to the thrift shop.
Satarri,
Yeah, we do have to be careful when purchasing items online.
I have always stored butter in the fridge. I buy the large block of Irish butter.
This dish holds a block the size of the butter that I buy.
Today I'll be going to the local Farmer's market. A good BBQ stall is there-husband likes their food. He has dementia. He is not eating as much-so I try to get/make things which he'll eat and heavier on calories. Yes, I've tried ice cream-but now he won't eat it. Don't know why.....
When his appetite gets a lot worse, and it will, I'll be making something I invented years ago for my Mom with end stage cancer-she loved it. I call it Power Pudding. A quart of heavy cream, butter, 6 eggs, sugar, white chocolate, vanilla-sort've like creme brulee, but on steroids....kept the weight on her too : )
I hope there are more when I go back :)
