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 honey loves ground beef enchiladas and I found using tomato sauce and bone broth in my sauce is a great taste. The type of chili makes a difference too.
I should add that I make my bone broth separate and then we are not dealing with bones in the meal. I cook my meats in the bone broth and that richens the broth.
When I make a soup or stew, I can now go ask Maricruz how to make it.
The bones from the pork shoulder were useless in there.
I used to make wonderful enchiladas, but forgot how. It was a huge deal, placed on a great cookie sheet to make lots. But not authentic mexican.
Thank you for the resource.
My cocido has beef, carrots, potatoes, Mexican squash, corn on the cob and string beans. There is no chili's in the broth, however, there is a Spanish stew that is similar with chili's.
Bones were a major presence.
Looked just like the cocido soup!
A creamy garlic sauce, chicken & veges.
Antipasto Salad.
Oh what a treat, splurging!
Half went in freezer to store.

I will be starting the walls in the kitchen next week.. They are bead board. So, there are someplaces that will need the grinder, then sand, then patch, then sand, set trim, and finally paint.
Strangely enough, my working on the kitchen seems to have caused a rally with my Mom. It's exciting that there is something happening and she wants to see what is next. The hospice nurse said she won't take a dementia patient off of hospice due to a rally. So, that's good. the extra care she gets is helping, as well.
Tonight will be a simple hamburger and pasta dish.
Must be secret?
Kraut dog!
I am drooling! 7.00 for 3#.
Enjoy and please take a bite for me!
How wonderful! I love lobster! I wouldn’t know how to cook them though. We don’t have lobster here. We have tons of other seafood but no lobster 🦞.
The best lobster I ever had was in Maine while on vacation.
What freezer containers did you buy?
I generally use zip lock bags for freezing in order to save space. I am moving away from plastic storage containers for the fridge and buying glass containers.
I did see some stainless steel ones on Amazon that I thought about but that knocks out defrosting in the microwave. I could defrost by leaving containers in the fridge for a day or two.
Do you do a sour Polish soup or a classic Borscht?
Looking at recipes, I am going to have to make this. Looks so yummy!
I got the combo of veggies and steak, and chicken. They were delicious but there is no way that it could be considered a single serving! You’re right, we can enjoy the leftovers.
When I do Japanese. I do sushi and I love the green tea. We order a couple and share them. I can’t eat leftover sushi. I don’t know why but it grosses me out.
My daughter will stick sushi in the fridge for the next day, but personally I only eat it freshly made. I love other leftovers but not sushi.
I agree that if a place isn’t up to par and raised prices too, they will go out of business because they have plenty of competition.
I have noticed though that shrinkflation is getting to be a bit over the top in some restaurants. One of our favorite Japanese restaurants has made the portions so small now you aren't even full when you are done. And they raised the prices almost 50%. They will end up going out of business if they don't adjust the portions. We aren't big eaters, so I can't imagine how big eaters feel having to order multiple things just for 1 meal.
I can understand why my friend who is divorced saying that for her, it isn’t worth cooking large amounts of food. She’s like I am, doesn’t eat a lot and the food has to be frozen or used for leftovers for another day.
Chinese takeout is the same. One meal is enough for three or four servings
