So...whats for dinner?

Oh Susan, that looks so much like the inside of my overflow fridge. Except one of my door shelves is jammed with Asian seasonings and sauces. Yours is a very nice size.
Just spoke with my dad's case manager at the rehab facility. He is scheduled for discharge next Thursday. Fingers and toes crossed that this all goes without a hitch this time!
Tonight is Taco Friday -- for DH anyway, I'm having tostadas -- with all the fixin's.
-
Susan, i am humbled by your work ethics and talent! May the party go well and your treatment food issues disappear for awhile.
Carole, i hope your Mother gets strong enough to feel comfortable getting herself around. And Nance, same for your Dad.
Minus not driving is the pits. I understand why my Dad wouldn't give up the keys easily. Even when he told us he "Just drives between the two images he sees...." LOL. Dads been gone More than 10 years and I still remember the fear that statement gave me.
Bedo thinking about you today.
Went up to cover for my on call daughter yesterday. Took my meal - flat iron steak with a pepper salsa carrilla and roasted potatoes. (Home Chef) the food was pretty good. The steak was REALLY good. I did add two extra potatoes so DD2 could pack some for lunch for her DH that night. But i wasn't giving up my steak. LOL. After we cleaned up and she was called out or a visit. So I gave the little one a bath. We had fun. And after, she let me cuddle her IL she fell sleep. Usually she fights to stay wake til momma comes home. LOL.
Tonight supper is pork chops. (Home Chef) I don't have any meals ordered for next week. But i may the week after. I'm liking them.
In regards to pics of kids, DD1 only posts my DGD2 on First smile, a closed network like this one. I had to sign up to see her pics. I asked if I could post one here. She said yes. So here is DGD2. 7 months.

Much love to all.

Moon, she's beautiful. She looks like a Gerber baby.
Carole, I'm not surprised about that study. I have found that people tend to underestimate the elderly. It sounds like your mom is working hard. PT is tough at any age. Best wishes that she goes home soon.
Tonight for dinner my dad requested tomato bisque, which I have in the freezer and mashed potatoes. For myself, I'll make a salad with a bag of romaine, a jar of tuna in olive oil, lemon and a couple tbsp of parm.
-
So cute Monica!
-
Adorable baby! The meals sound good, Moon. It's such a good thing to have the right amount of ingredients without extra stuff to throw away after it goes bad.
Ok. Advice needed on another kitchen gadget. A spiralizer. I recall that somebody--Carrie?--mentioned having one. The lunch menu today at Copeland's included a selection with crab cakes and shrimp over zucchini pasta. I decided to give it a try and, somewhat to my surprise, the veggie pasta was quite good! It was very fine and I had imagined a thicker strand. So I've decided to purchase a spiralizer. Recommendations welcome.
I thawed a package of pork chops, always a favorite with dh. I'll bread and pan fry them and have a veggie or salad or possibly both. Kind of a Friday diner's special!
Hope Bedo is doing well.
-
carole - I think chisandy has a spiralizer - I seem to recall she used it for zucchini maybe
-
I have a spiralizer and have used it to some extent. I bought one that attaches to the KitchenAid. It also does apple spirals, sweet potatoes, any softer squash, but carrots are a no-go. It does a really nice job, and since I got an "introductory" price I was able to justify the expense. My other justification was I can make the future grand baby fun vegetables and fruit. My Asian stuff is under the counter right next to the small fridge [you can see a bit of the box] and the stuff that needs refrigeration is still in the downstairs fridge. The downstairs fridge may not be needed anymore except for big holidays and when we need extra ice. We shall see as we get used to spreading out.
The d*mn vegetable terrines took most of the day. I started at 2pm, took a 30 minute break since my feet are so painful today, then a half hour break for take out dinner, and have just finished them. I still plan to make the mushrooms and lentils tonight, but Mr. 02143 hasn't washed the 'shrooms just yet. My hands can't be in water for that long anymore, so I have to rely on him to help. In fact, my hands are beet red tonight. The first night that I have had a full blown HFS episode on my hands. This really sucks!
Since I cooked for so many hours, we let our Indian place make dinner. An order of tandoor chicken wings, a simple yellow dal with ginger and tumeric, some rice and as a treat, a piece of garlic naan. There is enough left for one more modest meal for two.
Sounds like Moon and Bedo are fans of these ready to prepare meals. Guess I should have participated in the kickstarter campaign! Moon, what a gorgeous child! So nice that she fell asleep for you.
*susan*

I bought one of the inexpensive, hand-held spiralizer for $15, since I love the descriptions of food I've read on here but have no cupboard space. To be honest I haven't tried it yet, but I wish now I'd bought the next step up that sits on the counter and has a crank like the old meat grinders. I believe if I got going with it I'd use it frequently. Looking forward to the rest of the reports.
-
Thanks for the thoughts on the littles. I am blessed. Of course mine are above average. LOL. Lake Wobegone, look out! LOL
i had an older version of the apple peeler corer that would spiralize potatoes. I know it turns by crank and you set the tooth for peeling deeper
than for apples. My DH loved doing that. LOL. But our old one you couldn't swing the corer out if the way so you had these cylinder shaped potato pieces left over. LOL. I just cut them up for mash anyway. But if anyone has these it's worth a try. Here's a pic of one, you can see the peel is like a spiralizer. . Mine is like this. It's great for Apple pie. Takes just seconds to peel, slice and core apples for pies. -
Beautiful Monica! And thank you
Hsant for the cole slaw recipe. I might finally get it right.
Nance, I hope your Dad's discharge goes well. Will he be going home with help or to another living arrangement?
Carol I think you are right too, about the strength of older persons. I'm glad that your Mom has her goals and that the PTs are there for her
Minus did I see B-DAY? If so Happy Birthday!!!
Susan, your kitchen looks great and good luck with your party, I'm sure it will be fabulous.
Surgery went well, I'm doing well I have chosen the camp in the Berkshires for 7 weeks. It is amazing with a water park,yoga crafts,hiking and I have my own little apartment which I will share with my camp kitty! Only bringing one. Plus there will be MDs there and 6 other nurses. The ice cream stand is right outside my room. haha I finish my current job end of May and have a few jobs before camp starts. Hoping for the University job for the Fall
For lunch and dinner and breakfast frozen things in the microwave.
-
Bedo - great news that your recovery is going well. Are you on crutches? Thanks, but my B-day isn't until summer. Your summer camp job sounds amazing. Wow.
-
Hi Minus crutches are leaning against the wall and tonight I get to take the giant toe to thigh wrap off. I totally get how the Moms and Dads feel as I have had- The Worst Nurse On The Face Of The Earth-a friend who is not medical helping me. She tells me What To Do and doesn't do things the way I want and was an hour late with my car that she nearly cracked up to pick me up at the surgery center and never stops talking. I sent her home the first day.
-
Bedo - my dad will be going home with help. We are all looking forward to it lol. Hope you're on the mend. Could not do the crutches thing but I did use a cane after my repair. Summer camp sounds like a blast!
Monica -- my peeler does the spiral slicing but my corer moves so you don't have to have that extra piece left over. I did potatoes a couple of times and something else that I can't remember -- a cucumber or zucchini I think -- I don't have much use for spiraled vegetables. Nothing takes the place of pasta for me. I'd rather do without than pretend lol.
Made pie crust for ham and asparagus quiche for dinner along with a salad. Leftover pie dough will turn into a couple of apple hand pies for dessert.
-
Trying to catch up here....
Bedo, glad your surgery went well, you were able to ditch your unhelpful helper, and have a great sounding job lined up for the summer!
Nance, fingers crossed here for your Dad's helper to be helpful! You need at least a small break. Tonight's quiche sounds wonderful!
It was interesting to learn about the disadvantages of an electric wheelchair....but of course it makes perfect sense!
Carole, your mother continues to amaze! Your dinner at the club sounded delightful.
I have no idea what I spent my time doing this week, except for doc and hair appts.
We attended the World Figure Skating Chamionships on Thursday evening. Ate leftover pasta/chicken/sausage (a departure for me!) at home before heading into the Garden. The event we saw was the pairs Ice Dancing. Pretty amazing, but as we watched the regular pairs skating today, it made the pair dancers look tame. They are all so talented and disciplined!! It was so unique to be at the Garden for this event rather than be sitting with the Celtics' crowd.
There were so many women of all ages from all around the world. The young woman next to me came from Australia solo to Boston for two weeks purely for this event...a true follower...actually a loyal groupie for all the skaters. She managed to get selfies with many of her fave skater guys. She also introduced us to "Tim Tams" a great little chocolate covered and filled biscuit. Last night, I was determined to avoid pasta, so I made a nice combo of vegetables and some cheese which I stuffed into portobello mushrooms. We had it with a salad of mixed greens. I will definitely make those stuffed mushrooms again.
Tonight we are eating "heavy appetizers" at a house party and concert. Some friends bought a musical performance at a charity auction, so the musician is giving a concert at their home...the centerpiece of the party.
I am dragging today since I stayed up really late (even more than usual) after watching the Celtics impact sports history by defeating the Golden State Warriors on their home court for the first time since January, 2015. Quite a feat! Our sons started doing a group family text in the last critical minutes of the game as the excitement peaked. I loved it! We are totally into our basketball mode now that the end of regular season is upon us and playoffs loom large. Sorry to hijack the thread with my Celtic mania...
Oh, I bought a veggie spiralizer a few months ago, but have yet to try it....
Susan, I so want your HFS to go the hay away!!
-
Have not been cooking much - DH ate mostly leftovers at mid-week, and then left to go to S. Carolina to see his folks - was supposed to run in a race with his sisters this morning but the weather was no bueno, so they skipped it. He had gone into Charleston to pick up their race packets yesterday as the girls were en route, and by the time he got to the folks's house it had been about 12 hours since he had left here - he was tired. They have to get up at about 3;30 or 4 am to get to the race, so I think he was relieved not to go. He and his dad went out recliner shopping this afternoon - the one my FIL had been enjoying has a broken reclining mechanism, so off they went. One of his chores this weekend (after a phone call from his brother the doc) is to try to get them to stop driving, and use the next door neighbor's household helper to drive them to the grocery store, doc appts., haircuts, etc. I think they go out only a few times a week, and she is willing to help them and could use the money. Hope he has success - they need to not be operating a vehicle, too risky. My MIL has a long-standing vascular issue in one ankle and scraped the skin about a week ago when taking off her cute trendy pants (that had an ankle zipper) on the white carpet in her walk in closet. Starting bleeding like crazy and she stood there yelling for my FIL - who is mostly deaf and was probably napping, and continuing to bleed on the carpet even though the tiled bathroom floor was a couple of steps away. FIL finally showed up but they couldn't remember where the first aid kit was and it took a while to get things figured out - even though, he is a doctor and she is a nurse! MIL had a ER visit where they got her properly bandaged. The whole thing was enough for my BIL to become alarmed about them driving because of their level of confusion about how to handle this situation. So, my DH (and I) are joining the "worried about Mom and Dad" club.
bedo - glad the knee is doing ok, yay for the summer job!
susan - glad the cat sitting went well and I like your mustard fridge! Now that we have the new outdoor kitchen my DH keeps referring to the fridge out there as the "beer locker" he is funny! The beer used to be in the garage fridge, which has turned into the sparkling water fridge lately. Hope your tummy and hands calm down asap.
auntie - I want pie.
moon - yay for more baby pix!
minus - that is one regret I have from clearing out my mom's house - I bypassed her old hand-crank meat grinder. I had to ship everything from California to Virginia and it was so heavy I had to skip it - but it was a classic that she used my whole childhood. I did manage to bring a few other kitchen things - very importantly her magic gravy spoon. She used it every time she made pan gravy, and now so have I - the gravy always tastes exceptionally good, thus the name.
lacey - you are busy!!
-
We must have a picture of the magic gravy spoon! Love that you kept it, Special, and wish you'd kept the grinder.
Bedo, glad you're ok. The Berkshires job sounds ready made for you. I love sharing your adventurous life.
Nance, I agree that nothing can substitute for pasta but the zucchini "noodles" were actually tasty. And I don't much like zucchini. I'm waiting for ChiSandy to check in and say what kind of spiralizer she uses.
Lacey, ice skating is such a graceful sport. It must be a special experience to be there at the rink and watch the performances. I have watched tv coverage and been awed.
Susan, I have never made a terrine. Or tasted one. And you made TWO for a party. Maybe I'll have to make one just for the heck of it.
I bought oyster poboys and had lunch with my mother at the nursing home. I knew she would enjoy having me eat with her so I gave into the temptation! For her, of course. LOL. Dinner tonight is steak fajitas. Ripe avocados must be made into guacamole. We have colored bell peppers, onions, black beans out of the freezer. Salsa, sour cream. I'm sipping a Grey Goose martini so the fresh made tortillas are iffy.
Tomorrow my sister Michelle will be going to the nursing home after church. I hope to do some weeding in the morning. The amaryllis are blooming in the front flower beds but the weeds are competing with their glory.
-
carole - we have Verizon Fios internet and they merged with Aol and for some reason I am having difficulty emailing myself a photo taken on my phone of the spoon! If you google vintage Robinson slotted spoon with wooden handle you will see the magic gravy spoon. I have the set - one slotted and one not.
-
The party is over! I managed to make everything except the green bean salad. My feet are killing me. My hands are a mess. But, the food was great. There was way too much, of course, but the 40 some odd folks enjoyed it all. The kid made a killer chocolate mousse, which we presented next to a platter of strawberries. She also made a ton of cupcakes and peanut butter cookies. A local BBQ spot brought the smoked brisket, pulled pork, and cornbread. Her MIL sent a bunch of cut fruit, chips and store-bought salsa, and a kidney bean kind of salad. My son in law worked like a dog this week and the house was ready to present. I am seeing a great change in him with this house. He is becoming a man, if that makes sense. Instead of sitting on the couch and relaxing, he is pushing through his laziness and doing what needs to be done. I am so happy to see this. One thing I know about parenting is, sometimes you have to put your own comfort aside and do what does need to be done.
Tomorrow I need to do some serious coding. My feet will enjoy a day of sitting at the computer.
*susan*
-
susan - yay, and I am glad the satisfaction and happiness the party brought hopefully overrides hand/foot issues - you deserve a rest! Everything sounds yummy!
-
Wow, Susan, sounds like a successful party, with no lack of bountiful food offerings! I'm wondering if DSIL is more motivated to "get things done" now that they are in their own place, where they will be the family "adults". And yes, parenting can certainly strike up the responsibility band! I expect that your role modeling of selfless hard work has not gone unnoticed. And with you not being "in house" they get to do more for themselves. Just in time.....;)
Moon, I forgot to comment on your adorable DGD2. What a cutie! Gerber baby indeed!
And Minus, I neglected to mention in my concern about the headshot posts of my three year old DGD, how worried DH and I are about who might gain access to them and use them in awful ways. She is a beguiling little "three-nager"! So, I agree with your young relatives who chose not to randomly share their kids pix. If people watched the news, they might get an idea about and better appreciate why parents feel cautious these days.
Our concert/party tonightwas lovely. The apps were plentiful and tasty, the desserts totally satisfied my constantly starving sweet tooth (teeth?), and the young woman (local high school senior) who gave the cello concert is wonderfully talented. She is headed off to London in September to advance her music education.
Special, I wish you had been able to take that meat grinder, too. But in reality, you probably use the magic spoons more often! I'm glad for your DH that he decided to forego the race. Wishing him well with the task of taking his parents off the road. Sooooo tough an issue! Speaking of chairs, I am about to go shopping for a new "favorite chair" for DH. The one he has had for the past many years is huge, ugly now, and seems quite gross to me. He has stopped insisting that it is fine...so the time is ripe!

Carole, po boys sound so appetizing to me!
-
Lacey, how spectacular that you were at the World Skating championship. That's on a par with seeing an event at the olympics. I have a friend who was a competitive figure skater back in the day, and she said ice dancing is more difficult than pair skating.
Last night, Dinner was a slow, slow cooked pot roast. 8 hours at 225 degrees. Sides were sautéed shallots, crimini and button mushrooms, with a touch of heavy cream and mashed potatoes. Tonight will be leftovers
-
The party food sounds like a feast, Susan. Glad the event was a big success and now you can rest your feet. Your hands will be busy at the computer.
I did make the tortillas last night. I've learned to do half a recipe with 1 cup of masa. The meal was delicious. It's another of my favorites.
-
Nance quiche sounds good. I picked up a nice Gruyere and will make a leek and potato quiche.
Susan wonderful party food and happy you can sit today. Monica such a little doll. Prayers for all the older parents may you gain strength working with physical therapy. Lacey fun to share the family basketball excitement.
-
Thanks for the thoughts on my Gbabies! They are both adorable. LOL
Susan I am glad you pulled it off! But wow, I'm aching just at reading what you did Superwoman!
Hsant I love slow cooking but being alone without a big freezer means that it makes way too much. If I made a small one even 6 hrs of cooking seems a waste of time and gas. I used to o a big pot roast every week or two when we were 6 people daily. For one much ess. LOL
Lacey, World Championship is beautiful. My DH cousin skated. Got up to Nationals many times. Got to see him once. Ice dancing has so many rules. I know they can't do jumps. So it's hard to compete with the pairs. LOL
Bedo I'm thrilled you got the summer job you wanted. Also keeping my fingers crossed you get the fall one. And I'm glad the knee is doing well.
Minus hope you are doing ok too.
For all the parent issue people, now including Specialk, Carole and Nance. Hugs. Not easy.
Carole, I'm with Nance. Zucchini are (is?) Not noodles! LOL
I made the miso honey pork chops From Home chef. Very very good. It came with a pepper and onion and mushroom side. It was plenty and after I ate the remaining chop with side again the next day, i had enough pepper side for an omelet the next day. Still haven't seen 2 things I want to order next yet though, so no new ones for at least a week. For Plated, though, the apple cobbler dessert wasn't very good. Not worth the money. Rather pay shipping for another portion (making 1 meal for 3 or even up another meal), and still get free shipping.
Tonight will be sandwiches. Whatever I find at the deli! LOL
To all on this thread, much love.
-
A week and a half in NC without internet and I survived but had a lot of reading to do when I got back. We also returned to SNOW! Geesh, I have everything from shorts and flipflops to warm cozy sweaters all vying for space in the bedroom...not to mention all types of coats everywhere. NC was warm and everything was in bloom...azaleas, dogwoods, daffodils, tulips and stuff I don't even know what they are.
We completed all our house projects in the southern house as planned and in response to that my back is out of whack and I am eating ibuprofen like candy! I, personally did the tear up of the carpet in the bathroom (not bad) but then had to get up all the tack strips and staples they used...pretty sure the contractor that put that carpet down thought that some great force was coming and the carpet may move an inch. UHHHHGG who puts carpet in a bathroom anyway? Then I did the mudding to lay the cement backerboard....now...a bum back!! Husband and friend did the tiling.
Lots of bad eating while away...meaning good tasting food...but bad for the waistline. Had mussaka for the first time ever, and cant really say I am a fan, or will attempt to make. We did easter at a neighbors house down there and it was just ok...is that bad to say? I have eaten there several times and have come to the conclusion that they are not very good cooks, but the company and friends are always amazing and we always have a great time....and I KNOW that's what counts, but since this is a food thread just thought I would give my review.
Susan I like your fridge for the "extras" I swear I have more condiments in my fridge than anything else.
-
Carrie, don't you hate gaining weight by eating mediocre food? LOL. I know I do.
I'm thawing chicken thighs for dinner tonight. I have some preserved lemon that is "ready." I can't seem to get too much lemony chicken. Sides have not emerged in my thinking. I need to start again on the goal of using stuff in the pantry.
-
Carrie, you are funny.....your hurting back is not!! I am also puzzled about why anyone would carpet a bathroom. Such potential for grossness! Hope you can get the back better soon. Once all those muscles start screaming up and down your spine, it can really be debilitating. DH recently had a massage therapist treatment for lower back pain that included some kind of exercises/postures and it has helped him.
We are also dealing with a spring snowstorm...and had an interesting time before and during the start of it...
Last night (more accurately this morning), just as I was falling asleep, DH awoke sweating and feeling "odd". He knew it might be a cardiac vasospasm, but has not experienced one in several years as he takes meds for this condition. Well, since he recently signed on to be a concierge patient with his doc, after monitoring his vascillating heart rhythm, and getting more anxious by the minute, he decided to call him (3AM!). Doc answered immediately, and after listening to his symptoms (he knows his Prinzmetals angina history) thought it best to head to ER for an EKG and bloodwork...just in case it was more serious. So I drove him to our preferred hospital (911 takes us to the one in our town which is on a different system, making coordination of record info with our docs challenging). I made record time to the ER (NO ONE ON ROADS, and I boldly defied a red light that was determined not to change) and even got a parking spot right in front of it.

It was less than an ideal night to be there....the computer system was just then being changed to a new one.
The nurse and the tech were just learning it. Yikes! No history available. But, Apple to the rescue for current symptom tracking!! DH had been monitoring his heartbeat with his Apple watch, and our adorable ER doc knew how to access all of that info on DH's IPhone, rather than expect DH and me to remember those exact details. So retrieve it he did! He was able to determine that it was not a concerning AFIB vascillation range (in my layperson terms). His EKG looked fine as did the first enzyme test. After about an hour, his rhythm and BP returned to normal. DH was elated that he did not need to be admitted for further bloodwork...and was becoming impatient man who was determined to leave. Meanwhile, I was busy directing a maintenance man to clean up a spatter of dried blood that was on the floor and wall near my chair! Ick!Anyway...... all of this was amazingly handled in two hours, and when we walked out of the ER door we entered a raging snowstorm. Wow!! Thankfully, it was a Sunday 5:30AM time, with very few cars on the snowy, slushy roads, but also no plows had started. There was one huge tractor trailer carrying a large piece of construction equipment that zoomed past us on the highway, blinding me in the process with his slush spray. Suffice it to say, I did not make record time getting home, but was happy to get there safely. Fortunately, I am an intrepid driver....but oh my!! I got to sleep around 7 and up at noon.....really dragging today. But DH is not having anymore vasospasms, and his doc has been in touch for a follow up tomorrow AM, since he is good today. DH now wants me to join this concierge practice, but I do like my own doc, too. We'll see....it is helpful to have your own doc helping you manage a middle of the night crisis.
Thanks for allowing me to chronicle my night....now I will put it aside
I knew DH was back to his normal when he went downstairs to make himself an omelet to have with matza.

Tonight I plan to make a chicken dish with marsala or with lemon. Also have a bunch of asparagus in fridge which is saying "pick me". As usual lots of salad greens, and since we are tomatoless, I will add some jarred roasted tomatoes to our salad. No interest in driving to the store just to buy tomatoes.
More snow forecasted for tomorrow.....hopefully, no more vasospasms. ;/
-
Sheesh Lacey -- what a night! So glad things turned out ok and you got home safe and sound!
Susan -sounds like a lovely party. You do know how to do it up right and it looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Carrie -- why oh why carpet in the bathroom??? I never understand it. In fact, I've gotten to the point that I dislike carpet anywhere. We lived in a rental house once that had carpet in the kitchen. Really??!!
Carole -- I know what you mean about chicken and lemon. They go together so very well. You really should try the Rao's Lemon Chicken. I think you would really like it. I often cook mine on the grill and just finish it in the broiler. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/raos-famous-lemon-chicken-recipe.html
I went to the nursery today and bought some asclepias (milkweed) to plant in the garden for butterflies. I used to have some but it got choked out by weeds. This time I'll plant it in a more open area. We get lots of butterflies, but very few monarchs. DH informed me the other day that he chased a groundhog off the patio - already!!!! If I see him again, we're putting out a trap. I refuse to fight with them this year.
I braved the grocery store today (weekends seem to be "family" days with too many people clogging up the aisles.) It was maddening but I now have fresh vegetables in abundance and a nice tri-tip that has been dry rubbed and will be a Santa Maria tri-tip for dinner. Roasted potatoes and a piperade will be sides.
-
Oh Lacey, I am glad that your husband is OK
Today ( I have 3 more days off work for my knee) I read 2 books, ate an entire red barron cheese pizza, took a nap and talked on the phone. The cats are ecstatic We had snow. I think that this was an eye opener for retirement. I definatly could not do this every day.
-
Lacey,
This is NOT how you celebrate an April snowstorm. Admittedly, I have no April snowstorm celebration rituals, but a trip to the ER is not anything I would consider. So, the concierge thing.... his doctor sent him to the ER. If you have called your own doctor's service, the on call doctor would have told you to do the same thing. Liking and trusting your primary is worth a lot. Not sure I would give that up for the same results. Just a thought.
Dinner was leftover pork tenderloin, potato salad, marinated mushroom, and the lentils. oh my the lentils are delicious! Two more days to this cycle. Can't come soon enough.
