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.
working on automobiles doesnt have to be a guy thing . try telling one of my sons that the kitchen is a womans domain. they both know better . when i work on a car for a woman , shes there helping and learning how to do it herself the next time . it makes them apreciate how delicate machinery is , how difficult it is to repair and hopefully makes them treat the machine more kindly in the future .
if i see a half inch of brake dust on a potential romantic interests front wheels it tells me everything i need to know about her . shes a gas , brake , honk , nondriving idiot . an aggressive driver and probably an inconsiderate prick in everything she does . same goes for a guy but since men have to maintain machinery you dont see men mistreating machinery all that often .
i appreciate a bit of finesse in either gender .
ive owned ike for 29 years and have never crammed the rpm's over 4 k altho the owners manual says its ok to hit red line at 9 thousand rpm's occasionally .

If you have a choice in sizes, big is good! You'll want a cover. You don't always use it, but often you want to partially steam the vegetables.
To see what a good wok (by my standards) looks like, look up Joyce Chen Flat-Bottom Wok. The very good news is that a very useful wok like this is often the least expensive you will find! How often is THAT true?
I mentioned that one of my to-buy list is a wok. She said to try to buy the electric wok - and then we can cook more stuff on it than a regular pan/pot. Might as well buy other cooking utensils while at it. I also need a whisk and a cooking brush.
My trying to learn to cook was enough incentive for sis - on her own - to actually cook real food! I like this very very much. Oldest sis knows how to cook the 'old way' of our people. I miss that - mom's cooking.

Dr. Richard K Bernstein is a fascinating guy who struggled with Type 1 diabetes at a time when that was pretty much a sentence to an early death. Through his wife's medical journals he order a blood glucose meter (long before the simple hand-held devices easily available to patients) and began experimenting on himself. He learned how he could manage (not cure) his own blood sugar fluctuations through a very careful and stringent diet. In the process he went back to school and became a medical doctor. I read one of his books for people with diabetes and studied his diet. I have the utmost respect for him. And if that was the only way to manage the disease, it is *maybe) better than an early death or complications. But I would not chose to follow that severely restricted diet unless it were the absolute only option open to me.
Good for Dr. Bernstein! Larger through his efforts the importance of patients being able to monitor their own blood sugar levels became widely accepted. He has made great contributions to our knowledge about how and why blood sugar levels fluctuate. But I'll pass on his diet, thanks.
