Hi Nancy and fellow “Landers”! Nancy,
I, too, enjoyed your story about taking
your cats to watch the ducks. I told my
husband about it and he asked if you and
I were related, because it sounded like
something I would do! I have also had
Cindy’s message from Jan. 4 on my mind.
Perhaps, Cindy, you could use an office
chair with rollers to help you maneuver
around the kitchen and prepare just a
few things before your husband comes
home. Because you're on oxygen, I
certainly wouldn’t want you around a gas
stove, but perhaps you can do some
chopping or cooking in the oven (if it’s
electric), or even pop a chicken in to
bake. Pre-chopped veggies are always a
great help, if that's all you can
manage. Fellow Landers, do you think we
can come up with some very simple
semi-homemade recipes for Cindy and/or
her husband?
Easy Skillet
Casserole
1 lb. ground beef 2
medium potatoes, peeled & sliced 1
medium yellow onion, peeled & sliced
1 can green beans, drained 2/3 cup
water salt & pepper to taste
Brown the ground beef in a medium to
large size skillet. Drain grease, if
desired. Season with a tiny bit of salt
and pepper. Layer the potatoes and the
onions, seasoning as you go, then at
last the green beans. Add the water;
cover and cook on medium heat for about
20 minutes, checking occasionally to be
sure the water hasn’t dried up. There
you have a tasty casserole with meat. 2
vegetables and onion for seasoning.
