steak and twice cooked potatoes
Yikes, she needs to be in a dementia unit, not assisted living. I know that without family involvement, it's hard for the nurses to get her moved before a serious incident occurs, you shouldn't have to put up with it though.I've seen her stab a table with a knife, throw a glass at one of the servers and slap someone. One of these days she is going to really hurt someone.
Of the frozen etc. options, I only like the Marie Callender Vermont mac & cheese. Panera is chalky and Hormel is just. . .no. This one has decent flavor and a good texture. But even this one is blandish and needs a pretty good dose of hot sauce .I'm shocked that I hated all the frozen, shelf stable, and refrigerated Mac & Cheeses that I bought!

They had a meeting last month but I had eye surgery that day and did not go. Someone asked the manager about the vegetarian and diabetic diets they had listed on their website. She said she was not aware of any diets on their website. She said they have a wide variety of food listed on their menus and we do not have to eat everything on our plates. That is a lie and it dose not make any sense. If I ask about the diets she will give me the same answer. Every one complains about the food but they will not speak up at a meeting. I don't plan on going because she will just blow me off. No one will back me.muffy Does the facility have care meetings, where you can bring up issues? Although I know you've brought things up before, keep doing it. A chunk of cornbread for Thanksgiving is simply ridiculous. No mashed potatoes? No baked corn? Not even a bit of cranberndry sauce? Can you transfer from that facility into another one? It might be time to start looking into it.
The boxed kind or did you make it with just the cheese?I had some white cheddar style daiya "mac and cheese "
I actually have Marie Callendar & Stouffers on my wishlist! I'll try them in the toaster oven though. Maybe I'll try Hormel again that way. Probably won't try Panera again though, that one was weird texture.I only like the Marie Callender Vermont mac & cheese. Panera is chalky and Hormel is just. . .no.
I never even thought to bake it! I'll try that next time. That could be the problem. Thanks!The king of frozen macs IMO is Stouffers. It MUST be baked in the oven though and not microwaved.
We used to get takeout all the time before the pandemic. Now we never do!you guys need to try that white cheddar mac an cheese from arbys
No dressing on it?We both had a fall harvest salad with blackened tofu
Boxed! The frozen Mac and Chao is still the best substitute I've had for the real thing, for sure.The boxed kind or did you make it with just the cheese
closest arbys is a 30 minute drive from where so gf wont wana go unless we shop the high end mall near itWe used to get takeout all the time before the pandemic. Now we never do!
LOL, I always ask for dressing on the side in case I don't like it. Good thing I did because I hated the dressing that came with it so they brought me another, hated that one too. So I just asked for balsamic vinaigrette which was perfect!No dressing on it?
The mac and cheese at Panera is delivered to the store in plastic bags that they heat in water. I'm guessing it's the same stuff that you can get in the grocery store in the plastic cups.Even the mac and cheese you get at a Panera cafe is chalky and weird.
More Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner. I still have one chicken thigh for tomorrow's dinner. And plenty of pilaf which I can take for lunch on Monday.
