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.

Veronica, I have no problem buying used books. The 3 books I already ordered - if brand new at the bookstore would have cost me $72.00 since it's hardcovers. By buying it used, I paid a total of $24.00! That's a steal! The other 2 books - well - I'm not willing to pay $27 per book. I will google until I find a much decent price than that. Thanks for the tips! I'm going to brainstorm for next week's meal - and figure out what meat to buy. And how to cook it.
Don't waste too much money on cook books. Once you have mastered the basics you will find plenty of excellent recipes on the internet. Use your money to buy good quality seasonings.
There is a website called "Living on a Dime" take a look at that and see what you think. Try and plan ahead at least for the week based on the weekly store specials and do that shopping when you have time at the week end not in a rush after work. Keep staples like rice ,flour and potatoes on hand. you can add fresh or frozen veg of choice. once you have mastered a dish for example lasagna cook two pans and freeze the second for another night. It is already fully cooked so all you need to do is reheat. Make your own pizza well until you get to yeast cooking buy a ready made crust and throw your own sauce and ingredients on. baby steps Book, you are in first grade and trying to master college courses.
I've just ordered some very simple books With Pictures for beginners. Cooking Basics for Dummies, How to Boil Water, Betty Crocker Cooking Basics.
After I'm done changing my dad's pampers, I'm going to search the internet bookstores for a cheaper costs of 2 more books: .....How to Cook Everything The Basics: All You Need to Make Great Food--With 1,000 Photos .....How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition)
I'm finding myself getting so frustrated. I was so desperate, I asked dad how did he used to cook chicken soup. Me, asking my father who is going down the road of senility. Of course he doesn't remember! Have to go....time to change his pamper.
Dinner tonight was Wendy's chili, strawberry chicken salad and rice. Ate half tonight, the other half will be my brunch tomorrow. I didn't have enough time to buy real meat after work.
Cap~Yes, all organ food is high in cholesterol. You post about your daily activities often...maybe you are burning off the cholesterol...keep having it checked.
So YES, I am going to cook chicken livers again tomorrow. The benefit is they are high in iron. I am also going to make a red, white and blue potato salad, very yummy and of course not so good on cholesterol. Hubby is going to a baseball game. am cooking just for myself. Plus...I am so bad, I went to Baskin Robbins today for an ice cream...they had my all time favorite...Mississippi Mud. I bought a quart!!!
This sucks. But not as bad as it did before A Canadian team discovered the role insulin plays!
I have one of the rescue kits of glucagon in the medicine cabinet. Sometimes I wonder if I should carry it, too.
I think if I were diabetic I would have a bottle of soda in my purse just in case. It would be a lot more tasty than a tube of glucose! I wonder if it would work well enough.
I would willingly have skipped dinner tonight, but it was Barb's birthday and her kids took her out for dinner and wanted me along.
I sure hope tomorrow is back to normal for me!
That is all. ;-)
