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.
I don’t use sugar because I don’t like sugar in my tea or coffee. I have been changing up the flavors. Sometimes black tea, sometimes herbal or green tea.
I have been adding mint leaves 🍃 to my tea because I find it refreshing in the summer.
Party foods are always fun! Sometimes, I enjoy going to a restaurant and getting an appetizer and a dessert!
Your kitchen must be just about done now. Sounds like it will be beautiful and efficient!
The electricians came out yesterday and now my dishwasher is out and the new outlet is installed.
I can just level my cabinet and install it today. Then cut the butcherblock countertop and drop in my induction cooktop. Easy peasy.
I ran out to the store awhile ago and ended up buying salad fixings and a rotisserie chicken. It’s too hot to cook a heavy meal.
I wish I was in Tijuana

Okay, you’re making us jealous of your scrumptious dinner! I love lobster 🦞! Maine has the best lobster!
Years ago we went to Kennebunkport, Maine and ate at a restaurant there. I think the name was The Breakwater if I remember correctly.
I think it’s insane how many people are influenced by TikTok.
It’s predominantly younger people who view TikTok. They seem to live their lives by things that go viral on social media.
I saw a clip of it on a show that I was watching. It’s absolutely crazy!
Parents are cracking eggs on their kids heads, instead of breaking them on a mixing bowl! Of course, the kids are shocked when their parents do this.
Less is more! I find that the older I get, the less I want of unnecessary things.
I like provolone so much better than mozzarella. Not sure why, but I do! I don’t even buy mozzarella cheese anymore.
I am currently removing my regular sized dishwasher. Since Mom died, I
find that it takes a few days to get it full enough to wash up.
I have a small countertop dishwasher that works great for me. And can be tucked out of the way. So no need for the other one. I will donate it to habitat.
However, it is hard wired in. Which turns out great! I will have the electrician
disconnect it and run the wires to a new outlet under the countertop that
will allow me to plug in my induction cooktop that I am placing into the countertop.
And in the place that housed my dishwasher, I am placing a new cabinet painted to match the others.
Good fun.
Yes, I'm still working on my kitchen. Finding what works best for me.
Which turns out is smaller things and oddities. lol
Sounds delicious!
Okay, so now I am totally convinced that you are an egg ‘over easy’ aficionado!
Big spatula! 2 or 3 eggs at one time? Wow! I’m impressed. I am telling you that I have broken many yolks just flipping one egg.
Now, I want to try cooking an egg 🥚 on a griddle to test it out! 😁
Just finished my runny yolks cooked on the induction top, low at #2 for
5 minutes. It did work to turn them off after 4 min. and let them sit, covered.
Dh was exercising. His bear claw from breakfast is uneaten. His eggs are still in the pan, waiting for hard cooked.
May never happen.
Going in to serve his eggs now. 🆗
Feeling put out to cook, eat, and then go back in the kitchen, do it again for a finicky eater. The ALL Day breakfast/lunch.
Do you think it is easier on a griddle? I bet that I would have been fired at the restaurant that you worked in! LOL 😆
I still think that I would have broken lots of yolks. You probably did dream about eggs! I like eggs for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
My dad liked runny eggs. My mom liked well cooked eggs. Daddy was right when it came to eggs! 😊
When I waitressed as a young girl, the worst thing that I did was drop an entire plate of pasta in a man’s lap!
The worst thing that happened to me was, a waitress accidentally spilled an entire hot cup of hot coffee down my back as she was rushing to get to another table!
By the way, the first fight that I had with my husband as a newlywed was over french toast! We still laugh about it.
That’s not a stupid question. I heat my pan on medium, just until it’s hot. I put one pat of butter in the pan and drop in my egg! I let the egg cook just until the white cooks through.
I put the cover on it and cook it just until the white of the egg covers the yolk. Somehow this works! I am like Cashew. I like my eggs runny!
I watched Sara Moulton cook an egg this way on tv. She’s a culinary trained chef in NY!
