Subj : food and family was: No To : JANIS KRACHT From : NANCY BACKUS Date : Sat Oct 19 2019 21:29:00 -=> Quoting Janis Kracht to Nancy Backus on 10-10-19 12:03 <=- >>>>> good stuff, rest up... >>>> That's what I'm doing.. we're kind of getting sick of prepared >>>> dinners from stores like Wegmans (Nancy knows what I mean ) >>> Wegmans makes pretty good meals, though... ;) But it's kinda like >>> having friends bringing in meals for you, not necessarily how you'd >>> cook them, even when they're pretty good... ;) >> Agree there... :) > One appreciates it, but thinks of how one would do it differently, as > well... ;) JK> Yes, that's true. I do love their pulled pork . Some of their oven-safe packaging entrees are pretty nice... just put the bag in the oven for the proper length of time at the right temp, and it cooks itself... JK> This week has been absolutely nutso though because Ron's aunt fell JK> and broke her hip (again, other side this time) this past weekend. So JK> we're running back and forth to/from the hospital.. but from what the JK> hospital told us this morning, Ron and his aunt will be investigating JK> other rehabilitation options at a rehab nursing home, for example, JK> instead of rehab in the Cayuga hospital. It was determined that Aunt JK> Gert can't tolerate the 6-hour a day rehab necessary (I think it was JK> 6hours a day at least). :( How did that work out...? Did they at least find something fairly close by, so that you'd be able to supervise it properly... ? JK> Anyway, running to hospital sure puts a damper on cooking.. so last JK> night we enjoyed a bowl of Lasagne soup from a local place.. it was JK> good :) I have a beef tongue in my 'frige I bought to cook this week, JK> guess I'll have to wait a bit to cook that. Thankfully it's an easy JK> one to cook, and so good :) The cook-by/use-by/freeze-by date is JK> sometime in the next two weeks so that is good :) That gives you a bit of leeway... :) And even if you end up freezing it, it will still be good for when you can cook it... :) And, right, it is an easy thing to cook... :) >>> And while Wegmans has quite the assortment of things one could be >>> getting, it still can get boring after a while... :) >> Yes, there are only so many days one can take the repetition :) > As I was just saying to Sean, there are quite a few things to choose > from... and we do eat there when we do our weekly shopping... but there > are some days I go thru and have a hard time finding something that I > really want that night.... ;) JK> I know what you mean there. Generally, it's good food, but I find JK> they give you too much food haha.. Right now I'm still trying to build JK> up my appetite after that chest infection I had and the soup-frenzy JK> that I was on One can either share the portion... or save some for another meal... :) >>>> I have about 5 pie pumpkins from my garden I want to start using for >>>> pumkin bread/pies :) >>> Sounds good... It's that season, after all... :) >> And those pie pumpkins are so darn sweet, I love them :) We just >> polished off the pumpkin bread I made, I have more pumpkin in the >> freezer in baggies.. Just in case I get the urge for pumpkin pie before >> the holidays hit :) > Sounds indeed as though you are feeling better.... back to normal > activities for this time of year.... :) And nothing better than putting > up the produce from one's own garden... :) JK> I have some not totally ripe pumpkins sitting under plant lights in JK> the living room... they are ripening there, so that's great :) Sounds good... :) ttyl neb ....
