Steph, for my MiL it was the best thing we could have done for her. She had tons of friends, a lot of activities - bingo every day, and theme meals (with booze!) and movie nights. She did much better there. We were all very sad when we had to move her for 24-hour nursing care.

ION, I want to make meatloaf this weekend, but I don't have any eggs. I don't want to buy a dozen, or even a half-dozen, because I don't like eggs by themselves and I don't cook with eggs except for meatloaf. Is there a substitute for eggs in meatloaf? Should I make more meatloaf in my future?

Thrive to spite them

Connie, I htink some people use bread and milk. I got a cookbook out from the library that used unflavored gelatin as a binder instead of egg

I baked bread! Used the kitchenaid mixer and it was fast and the bread was tasty! I also cooked steaks for dinner. I am still trying to make pizza dough from scratch but so far my attempts have not worked out.

Tomorrow I make real snickerdoodles with cream of tartar. I made them last weekend without because we didn't have any.

Maybe buy a carton of liquid egg (egg whites, eggbeaterd, whatever that stuff is) and keep it in the freezer in between uses? Just use thaw it out and use 2 or 3 tablespoons whenever you need an egg.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

For me, dealing with anxiety and depression makes me feel like my universe is shrinking as I avoid things I used to do and people I used to hang out with. It feels nice to have my universe expand again.

Shrinking universe is a good way to describe it. I'm glad your universe is expanding again.

Smoke pot!

Ha! Unfortunately pot doesn't do me much good, and leaves me lethargic for a long time.

Also, you should totally buy the antiquarian book business/home.

I know! In a different place in my life, it would be perfect. Right now, not so much.

That's wonderful, askye! Nothing tastes better than freshly baked bread you made yourself.

Half hour tidying the backyard was more effective than this morning's weeding.

Aw, I am bummed that Zen buying the bookshop etc isn't working out. That would have been lovely.

Art Crawl!!!

One of my closest friends from college lost her mother last night. Her mother was failing . . . doesn't make it any easier. I'm just happy that the family was all able to be there. (Possibly the time of year made that a bit easier to do.)

Other news: my pension will be about $100.00 more than originally estimated (per month). It's not a lot but everylittle bit counts. Particularly, when they deposit the difference so I have money in my account. Plus, I was approved for SNAP. Food. So necessary.
