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 eat a lot of sodium either. I find that too much sodium will definitely cause a spike in my blood pressure too.
I happen to like tortillas so I would eat it. I love scrambled eggs served in a tortilla.
I would eat that! What’s not to like? Sounds great.
Way,
Let us know if you make an ironed grilled cheese!
Sounds yummy !
There is an oldish movie called Benny and Joon . In the movie they make grilled cheese on an ironing board and hold the iron on the sandwich , flip it over and hold the iron on the other side . My daughter and I have always wanted to try that. Lol
We are always looking for phone chargers! When we can’t find them we know that they snatched them up and they are in their rooms.
I’ll take it !! My kids know they are always welcome . I feel fortunate that they still call our house “ going home” . They leave pajamas here still and other random things . They never totally moved out .
They do tend to steal my phone chargers when they leave though .
They think they are taking their own chargers when they pack . Lol
My daughters invited themselves over to our house too! We are doing a ham with baked sweet potatoes and roasted green beans. Keeping it simple, buying the dessert this year.
Actually my kids invited themselves over for the weekend. Tonight is Lasagna with salad and garlic bread . Tomorrow is ham with veggies .
The kids don’t know it yet , but they are making the chocolate chip cookies . Haha.
well, she doesn't know it yet.
I agree that as long as everything is in moderation it isn’t a big deal.
Taking a break until we attack cheese platter. Hubby loves cheese, especially brie, as per PD recommendation cheese is not to good for him, but, on occasion everything is good.
Sounds delicious!
Dinner with friends, roast, veggies and potatoes. Made some appetizers and of course cheese platter as it is almost expected in this house and cake for dessert.
Too much food for one day. Have a great Easter!
Tonight was a version of chicken crack slaw.
I absolutely adore Greek cuisine! I wonder if I would like it prepared that way.
I attend a Greek festival every year but I have never seen beets being served. I go straight for the lamb dishes! Of course, I get pastries too!
I do go to Greek restaurants too. Never thought about eating beets at them.
Otherwise I certainly understand to each his own.
No offense but just the thought of beets and eggs pickled together would make me vomit 🤮! LOL 😝 I gross out seeing eggs floating in a jar. It’s weird!
I hate beets with a passion! I have tried them numerous ways from numerous restaurants and home cooks trying to like them because they are loaded with vitamins. No thanks! I will get my vitamins elsewhere.
I do think the color of beets is beautiful!
My craziest egg story is when I was walking with my boyfriend. He had a beautiful German shepherd that we walked daily.
It was around this time of year. The Easter season. He didn’t celebrate Easter though. He was Jewish.
I love Easter candy and would share my candy with him. Well, one day we were walking his dog and he spotted a blue egg on the ground. He picked it up and took a big bite! Hahaha 🤣, it was a beautiful blue robin’s egg. He made a horrible face!
He screamed, “Sh*t! That was a real egg and not a candy egg!” I started laughing hysterically and asked him why on earth would he even eat something off of the ground? I still think of him whenever I see a robin and smile. He was a sweet guy who always made me laugh.
Had to laugh about the Lutheran minister..we are called the liberal ones.. LOL
Pickled beets and eggs are a Lancaster Co thing I love,, we just hard boil eggs, dump beets all over them and add vinegar and maybe some sugar and pickling spices. They are wonderful after they sit a day or so!
I can’t imagine how pickled eggs would taste. It just sounds weird to me.
Maybe I am missing out on something good though. I should try them before saying that they are gross. I don’t like the way they look.
It grosses me out to see eggs floating in jars! LOL 😆
I buy mason jars because I love them for storing individual portions. Plus, I am not crazy about using plastic containers. I always lose the lids to storage containers!
Look at the article in allrecipes.com at, 40 Foods You Can Pickle.
I would never in a million years have thought of pickling avocados! People have pickled all kinds of things.
I do lots of canning too. Fruit preserves, dessert sauces, marinara, vodka sauce... all kinds of things.
I do the old-fashioned hot water bath right on the stove top to seal the jars.
That’s how my grandma did it too. She didn’t have a pressure cooker either.
Every now and then I have seen a large jar of pickled eggs. The sight of those gross me out. I must admit that I have never tried them, nor do I feel that I ever will! They look disgusting 🤮 to me!
