Foodie Friday: Eggplant and Apples

Istiqlal (Independence), 12 Sulṭán (Sovereignty), 171 BE - Friday, January 30, 2015 about 1:42 pm Pacific Standard Time

Eggplant and Apples

1 medium to large eggplant sliced
2 medium to large apples (any type of apple) sliced or diced
1/4 to 1/2 cup broth (any type of broth)
1 or 2 small to medium green onions cut into small pieces
5 or 6 squirt vinaigrette dressing or marinade
3 or 4 dashes of green Tabasco® sauce

Mix all of the ingredients together in an electric skillet or a sauce pan. Put on low to medium heat and let it cooked until done. For those readers who are looking for an exact cooking time you will have to figure it out for yourselves. I fixed this by turning the electric skillet on low and then checking every few minutes to see if the food was ready to eat. I know that is not normally how one cooks, but that is the way I cook.

I will fix this dish again. When I do I know that the recipe will change because I never make anything exactly the same twice. I used chicken broth for this recipe, but the next time I may use beef broth or vegetable broth (I have to purchase vegetable broth the next time I go to the store). I do not know what kind of apples I used because they were given to me. The apples I used this time were yellow and red.

Mixing Apples and Oranges

It's said don't mix apples and oranges. I mixed apple juice with orange juice this evening and it taste delicious. Of course, I made sure that both juices were cold before I poured them into a glass. It was easy, I just pour a glass half-full of apple juice and then I poured orange juice in the same glass. I had both juices in the fridge and I needed to get them out. I decided to mix them and found that I liked the taste of the juices together.

I have a coupon for a Jalapeno Burger

I have a coupon for a Jalapeno burger from Carl's Jr. It's a two for one coupon, so Mom and I can both have one. My lower dentures work well most of the time; I haven't had a sandwich like this since I received my lower plate. This is a milestone; I will see how well my plate stays in place when I eat the sandwich.

The goop I use to hold the plate in works most of the time. Since I don't see any reason to baby myself any more, I'm going to go to Carl's Jr. and buy the Jalapeno burger. The main problem the last few weeks the last adjustment took care of. Once I have the burger then I'll know if I need to have the lower plate adjusted again.

My grandmother had a full set of dentures and she ate almost anything she wanted to without any problems. I remember watching her eat hamburgers and other sandwiches with her dentures without her bottom plate slipping. Actually, the only thing Grandma didn't eat with her dentures was whole apples. She had to peel the apples and cut them up because she couldn't handle the apple's peeling. The peeling got stuck in her throat and she would choke. I have to do the same way for the same reason, so I don't think peeling an apple to eat counts when it comes t getting used to dentures.

Applesauce for Breakfast

My mother can't eat applesauce and we have several cans in our house. Since Mom can't eat it, I'm going to have applesauce for everyday breakfast for the next few weeks. I put the cans in the fridge so they are cold when I eat the contents. I like applesauce, I just don't like to eat it if it isn't cold.

Today I'm just having a can of applesauce. Yes, the entire can of applesauce, which is 3.5 servings. Tomorrow I think I will have the applesauce over my cereal instead of milk. There are several different ways a person can eat applesauce. I'm going to find them all. Perhaps I'll try the applesauce with just milk, that sounds good.

A person is supposed to have a variety of foods. We do have a variety of foods in the house, but I'm the only one that can eat applesauce without a problem. My problem with apples comes with the whole fruit. I have to peel and cut up a whole apple before I can eat it. My grandmother had the same problem; she couldn't eat whole apples without peeling and cutting them into sections.
