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.
Lite, little lettuce. Lol.
I got the last carton of jumbo's and they were $5.15.....ouch~
I'm also grateful for the head of lettuce I found but it's the lightest,littlest,lettuce ...(try to say that 3 times) Iv'e ever bought.
The Lays potato chips were a joke with their shrinkflation,but I got a bag anyway to go with our dinner.
It's challenging and now I'm even more thankful for every bite.
put the extra pumpkin in an ice cube tray. a couple of tablespoons per cube and then when it gets frozen pop them out and keep in a container/bag in the freezer.
I looked this up for you G.
Keep leftover pumpkin puree and canned pumpkin in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It'll keep there for a week. If you don't think you can use up your pumpkin within that time, you can freeze it for up to a year. Seal it up in a zip-top freezer bag (be sure to label it) and toss it into the freezer.
No Send, Henrick hasn't been a tripping hazard so far. Knock on wood.
Just a heads up.
Pie pumpkin are going for 5.99 each here and usually yield 2 pies each, not deep dish.
Like everyone else, I couldn't wait for Thursday. :)
It has to cool for a while and will be a nice treat in about 2 hours.
I'm sure that I will be able to convince Mom to have a piece.
The pumpkin comes in 100% pumpkin and a pie mix in cans. Thinking of Libby's brand. Of course, cat does not get pie? The mix recipe must already have sugar, because it says "just add milk and eggs."
Correction-The 58 oz. pie was $5.99 in-store prices. I paid more to have Instacart deliver. $l.46 more. 😡
Trying harder to be more frugal, keep failing.
Can you get a pumpkin muffin or doughnut Cwillie? Tim Hortons sounds popular.
Gershun, Is kitty behaving himself? Has he tried to trip you (accidentally) on your crutches?
And unfortunately the only coffee shop in this small town is Tim Horton's, I can get doughnuts and muffins but.... no pie🥧
I'm sure pies will come on sale as we get closer to Christmas, maybe then.
Sit yourself down at the nearest great coffeeshop, order a piece of pie and coffee. You are worth it, and need to get out. Meet a friend.
At Costco, a pumpkin pie was $7.45 today, much larger and better tasting than almost anywhere. You can freeze it in pieces.
What was the price of a small can of pumpkin? Consider that eggs are in short supply.
I hope you get your piece of pie. Bake a real pumpkin?
I froze 1/2 of the pie for later.
Defrosted was good.
Defrosted to warm pie was even better than the original piece of pie.
Yum.
And Mom wants french toast. easy for her to eat with syrup and butter.
Today, I managed to get her on the scale and it looks like she's lost 20 lbs since being on hospice. :(
not unexpected but sad none the less.
The recipe was easy and I ended up with an almost perfect roti puff up!
