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.
Sam, wings sound yum. Double yum if crispy on the grill!
Tonight, quesadillas on the old George Foreman. Easy to make; a pain to clean up.
Yeah, but they don't have it here in my area.
I'm oddly excited about , finally having it the way I want. Lots and lots of little issues this week. Been one of those weeks that everything goes wrong. Nothing drastic just stuff. Snow, 2 of my sons have had car issues, mom is having hot water issues, and a sick tortoise
When someone ask my husband what day it is, he says everyday is a Saturday.
Hubby only micro managed when the weather gets colder and he is board and inside more. He knows better now, but every once in a while it still have to , put my foot down, a a boot in the behind. 😂, or tell him he is cooking all week. 😂
Leftovers tonight for us too. We came home with way more than we brought! Tomorrow is our quasi-Thanksgiving so I did as much prep for that as I could - splitting butternut squash, trimming sprouts, cooking up onions, celery and herbs and browning ground turkey and sausage for the stuffing. Smells good in here!
Golden, I don’t think I could handle that cold for very long - I know DH couldn’t. He’s standing in front of the gas fire with his coat on right now while I can feel my cheeks burning.
Psue - thank you but they really weren't inspired. I remember cooking things in a made-for-the-oven "plastic" bag, Wasn't worth it! Sorry to hear your dh had a heart attack one year.
Rotisserie chicken for supper tonight. The groceries just came. I love not having to go out in the snowy cold and ice.
R is getting his permanent crowns at the dentist today. Good thing too as one came out last night. He did have one replacement prepped last time and 4 were preps for new crowns. He handles this stuff very well.
I wonder the percentage of people who have NOT had some kind of holiday disaster - clogged drain, dead fridge, power outage, frozen pipes…..DH had a heart attack one year!
I’m thankful we made it through Thanksgiving with nothing bad (and very much good) happening.
Way, BIL said turkeys over 16 lbs are all Toms so more likely to be tough. Could be true or could be man-talk! All I know is the one he smoked was tender, juicy and delicious so he’s allowed to man-talk all he wants when he can cook like that!
I don’t do 20 lb turkeys anymore , not since my parents passed away . Older sibs moved , are spread out too since retiring .
Much smaller holidays now , just my kids and sig others , one nephew , one sister ( except now she was just placed ) , and sometimes the elderly couple next door come .
We have lots of snow too.
I had an oven issue with a turkey too at our Thanksgiving one year. Our guest was very forgiving, We ate vegetables.🥕🍅🥒🥔🥦
Way - 20 lb is a lot of turkey!!!
Like how are you all getting where you need to go in this weather!!! Lol it really came down here!!
Peasuep, Golden is in Canada, they had their Thanksgiving last month.
Nacy, so your late Thanksgiving tomorrow is going to be Christmas themed? And you have SNOW! Yay! (I mean boo.)
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I'm not cooking. I'm not cleaning. My sister has everyone over and does the whole thing. I have the whole day off and life is good.
We do have to bring my mother so we'll see how that goes.
