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 son has one he was so proud of wings he made. I didn't tell him the truth, but I thought they were awful.
Since my kitchen is packed, I will have to see if I can find wings to buy tomorrow.
I had Progresso chicken noodle.I
I wonder if those uncooked beans should have at least been soaked overnight or canned?
I hope you have chickens to feed it to.
I was skeptical when they said you could just toss the uncooked beans in with the browned meat and veggies and I was right to be because everything is cooked to mush except for the beans. Oh, and the step where you thicken things up with some masa or cornmeal really exacerbated the whole mushy thing.
And I have a whole pot of this stuff.
I know the cost is insane but right now, Mom is dying. So, I ordered delivery.
I'll be able to shop again soon.
It was a flip on the app that happened to the delivery driver. No harm, no foul...lots of eggs.
To solve the delivered to the wrong address problem, under delivery instructions, add "Check with the resident to confirm you are at the right address".
We are forced to go in person to shop now. The prices are not just higher with instacart, it is price gouging and fraud. It was a luxury we could not afford.
How do I explain this?
Simply put, the exact same groceries at Costco were $64.00 less in person shopping. (Order was $142.52).
That was without the tax, service fees, tip, and membership fees for free delivery via Instacart.
Even if you shop the "In store prices", like Sprouts, they charge you more by mistake when you buy at the butcher counter. ($17.00 is now $20.00).
Difference was refunded but had to get it corrected.
Who wants to spend $250.00 per month extra on groceries, ever?
Hindsight is 20/20.
So, I would be left to try and find time and use my gas to donate or dispose of what was left on my porch. It was obviously for a superbowl party..a lot of crappy food. lol
Later, the lady who dropped off the wrong one came to swap...great! I got my order, they got their order...all is right with the world. Until, I went to get the mail today and there was another order matching my first one on the porch. LOL
I will be making egg dishes because I now have 4 dozen eggs.
Enjoy your dinner everyone.
I do love Greek yogurt! It can be a great substitute for sour cream.
Cashew,
Thanks for the tip!
I usually just add a bit of vinegar to some cream and poof...sour cream
I am really liking substituting yogurt for sour cream!
Of course, I don’t mind if you chime in! Happy to hear your thoughts. From what I have heard the induction cooktops or stoves are the most efficient way to cook these days.
Whenever we replace our cooktop, I will look into purchasing one.
Thanks for your help.
I can tell you a funny story about gas appliances. My parents had a gas refrigerator! I don’t know how common they were. This is when I was young.
Hurricane Betsy happened when I was 10 years old. It was a pretty bad storm and my parents were the only ones on our street that had a gas refrigerator. I remember all of our neighbors bringing milk, eggs, and other food to store in our refrigerator.
I don’t think that I have known anyone else that has owned a gas fridge.
Yep, induction cook tops are great.
I don't even have a stove.
I removed mine after my folks started walking away while it was on. It
was electric and I even had the electrician remove the outlet for the stove.
I use an induction cook top that I keep in a drawer when not in use.
An Air fryer for baking and reheating, and my Instant pot.
I can make everything with those simple and compact appliances while
using a lot less electricity.
