Hope you have a speedy recovery, Anna. Don't worry about video postings etc. Take time to feel completely well and take care of your health first. We'll be here for you when you are good and ready.

[@pattycake8272]

I say yes to that..we want her better

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you! ❤

[@robint9047]

Yes! We'll be here when you get back. Just take care of you! I feel your pain - literally. I also tore my labram about 3 years ago and went for surgery to repair it but my ortho saw osteoarthritis in the X-rays and MRI (I was in my late 40s). So we ditched the repair and went straight to total hip replacement since I would likely need that at some point in the future anyway. They remove the labram altogether for hip replacement, so it takes care of both problems and recovery is supposedly much easier than labram repair. Hopefully your doctor looked as well (I am sure he/she did). Either way, I hope you have a speedy recovery!

[@robint9047]

Haha - I actually came here to post about the chicken curry recipe but got distracted by the hip comments. :-). Thank you so much for posting! I made it today for lunch since I had all the ingredients handy. So good - reminds me of something I had in the Dominican Republic about 20 years ago and was never able to quite recreate. I think because I assumed it was a Caribbean recipe and made with coconut milk, none of the recipes I tried were even close. This the closest recipe I have found! I did add a pinch of both garlic and ginger pastes, mainly because I had those tubes in the fridge already. So delicious.

[@adrianstevens656]

I agree! Please take care of yourself, Anna.

[@PeggyMeeter]

Was 14 in 1959. My Dad grew the best tomatoes. Mom would stuff them with tuna salad.

[@jenniferhansen3622]

Yummy!!

If you eat it for breakfast....it's breakfast. Cold pizza, leftover Chinese. Whatever makes you happy and feeds you.

[@jbvanhoose4245]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery! My best friend's mother would use Dream Whip to make a delicious root beer float cake. It was IBC root beer, a white cake mix, and Dream Whip. The root beer replaced the water or milk called for in the cake and Dream Whip. After baking and cooling; the cake was chilled in the refrigerator. Then the Dream Whip made with root beer was used to frost the cake. Served cold from the refrigerator it was a delicious summertime treat.

[@juliestates5677]

Ohh I would love to see you make this cake on your channel. A very interesting way to incorporate the Dream Whip!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

That sounds delicious! I vote with you - Anna should definitely use some of her box of Dream Whip for the root beer cake!

[@kikihammond5326]

Here's to a quick recovery! If you are making videos ahead what about some meal prep videos for someone who is having surgery/baby/caring for another, etc? Or alternately some quick dinners with 15 minutes or less prep and then whatever bake time? And if you take a break, no problem. We'll be thumbing through our recipe books or going back and watching content we missed.

[@andronicase]

I missed so many of Anna's videos before I discovered her page. So I will definitely be kept busy looking up all of her older posts.

[@SauerPatchGardening]

I'm sorry you have to have surgery! Also sorry that you had to justify that decision on camera, just to ward off comments from people that have no business judging what you know is best for you. Take care of yourself. We will be here when you heal and feel like filming again. I love your channel!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you! ❤

[@Jess-fp2wf]

I know these videos are a lot of work for you, but they are some of my favorites. I love this one! So sorry you’ve been struggling with hip pain. I hope you have a quick recovery. Please don’t stress about posting videos. We will be here when you return!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you!! ❤

[@sandihj]

If you prepare dream whip with the eggnog that’s available around the holidays, or even with chocolate milk, it makes a really decadent topping or frosting, or a filling for cream puffs.

[@sarnobyl]

I hope you have a speedy recovery! June must be the month for surgeries. I'm having a hysterectomy for fibroids next month.

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you! and I hope your recovery is also swift and you're feeling better soon.

[@dmbalsam]

My husband just had a hip replacement on Wednesday. Don’t know the difference in the surgeries, but we were home by dinner. They had him up and walking within a couple of hours. He had to do steps, walk X# of feet and get in and out of a car before they released him. Good luck and have a speedy recovery.

[@LindseyLouWho]

I've heard crazy things about the total hip replacements! That is insane. To compare, I'm about 40, just had several tears repaired in March, and was on crutches and still nerve blocked on the way home (surgery at 8, driving home by 11:30 AM). Pain was not so bad, I was really surprised because I'm the type who eats pain pills like tic tacs when they come my way, lol. I didn't hardly touch my strong painkillers, I simply didn't need them past that first five days. I was on six meds out the door to help healing and pain and inflammation. As for walking and such, it was late week two when I was starting to experiement with putting any weight on my foot, and was trying to go without two crutches week three, and my PT "let" me stop using them week 4, but at home I was hobbling back and forth without it just fine and the PT said that was normal, too. I'm hoping your husband also had a speedy recovery and takes good care of himself to heal it up in the future so he'll never need another procedure! Here's to a pain free life and a mobility filled future!

[@70foolio]

When I had foot surgery I didn’t have the upper body strength for crutches so I rented a knee scooter with a front basket, which gave me my freedom back. Also don’t forget a small shower chair and hand held shower hose. These are things you don’t think about until you need them.

[@karenfellenz1115]

That tomato filling made me think of the "Spanish rice" my mom made when I was growing up in the 70s. It would be good with capers!.

[@cooking_the_books]

YES capers would be excellent with it!

[@tammiepowell2818]

Girl, no apology necessary when you are taking care of yourself! Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope surgery corrects and heals the pain. Take the time you need, we will wait patiently.j That breakfast sandwich was a bit of a mind blow for me using an actual bun…I’ll have a few after the long weekend and now have an easy use for them.

I have a Good Housekeeping Cakes recipe book, printed here in Australia somewhere in the early 50s, I think, and I can't get over how similar the style is! I used to love looking at all the pictures when I was young and beg my mum to make such lovely things. The colour pictures were wonderful. I still have the book. Maybe its time to embark on my own little vintage journey of discovery?!

My mom always used dream whip because it was cheap and we didn't have a grocery nearby. I honestly don't remember what it tastes like. She would use it for jello pudding pies.

[@Rhaenspots]

Okay so I came at full speed back to this video! I just watched a Beryl Shereshewski video, “how people cook tomatoes around the world” and she did an Egyptian stuffed tomato! I instantly thought of this video and how cool it is that cultures physically so far apart love a tomato stuffed with rice and other amazing things!

[@Judex-bg3gz]

wishing you well during your surgery and recovery. You must be exhausted from making shows ahead of time Thank you so much for doing that. enjoy your show so much I've learned so much about just general cooking knowledge. Even though I'm old I can still learn to cook new ways.

[@dianaarmitage512]

Never to old to learn new things! 😉❤

[@wendelinharrison9571]

Anna! DREAM WHIP! What memories that brings back! My neighbor in the early 70’s used to put a packet in her cakes..right before everyone started putting pudding mix in. Her cakes were Devine..in texture and moisture! Now I have to dig out my box of old recipes and make a cake! Love ya, Girl! Good luck with your surgery! We’ll be here waiting for you! ❤🐾

[@cherylsHTX]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!! A famous ballerina, Wendy Whalen had the same thing...they made a documentary about her recovery called Restless Creature. Just a bit of trivia you probably don't need.

Oh wow! I'll have to look for that!

[@aliyamoon80]

This dish is really perfect for your subscribers in Florida. We grow loads of tomatoes and strawberries, so I'm really loving that simple lunch recipe! Native Floridians love tomato sandwiches for lunch. Nothing better! Especially if that tomato was recently plucked off the tomato plant in the backyard!

[@stephaniepapaleo9001]

As a Floridian, also, I’ve taken more than a few tomato sandwiches to work, sooo good! And I’m eating strawberries 🍓 like there’s no tomorrow!! 🍅 🍓 ❤️

Glad you enjoy it! I love choosing the music for my videos. One of my favorite parts of the editing process.

[@ninabooker2904]

I was just a half second ahead of you on “tomato guts” or possibly I read your mind. I’m 61 yrs and I remember Dream Whip from my very young days and then Cool Whip frozen toppings from more teen years. All the recipes looked good but I think I will try the Curry dish. Get well soon wishes to you. Be patient with yourself in recovery, surgery of any kind will be exhausting so don’t be disappointed that you don’t have your usual pace. ❤

[@linda7726]

Hi Anna! Hope you do well with your recovery! Haven’t had surgery, but I do have the same condition…..on a brighter note…I really enjoyed this video as I enjoy all of them! You bring back a lot of happy memories and particularly the “Dream Whip”! Yes, this was a staple in our family of 10!!!! Our favorite pie my mom made was “Dream Pie”…… 2 envelopes Dream Whip whipped topping Mix 2 3/4 cups cold milk, DIVIDED 1 tsp vanilla 2 packages (4 serving size) Jello instant pudding, any flavor 1 prepared graham cracker crust Beat topping mix with 1 cup milk and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed 6 mins or until topping thickens and form peaks. Add remaining 1 3/4 cups milk and pudding mixes beat on low speed until blended. Beat on high speed 2 mins, scraping bowl occasionally, spoon into graham cracker crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve any fruit on side. Hope you will make this on your channel to share with everyone! Your the best Anna❣️take good care 😊

[@grannyvee5789]

Heck, yeah I remember Cool Whip! My mom used it all the time. Probably because we had six kids and heavy cream would’ve been a lot of money with the family of eight. I also love stuffed tomatoes, and you can stuff them with so many great things. a great lunch is tuna salad in, the tomato but not cooked.

[@Linda-xt2we]

@cooking_the_books Hi Anna 😊🍓 Such a cute plate with the strawberries. Dream Whip was a staple at our house when I was growing up. It came on the market the year I was born. 😀 My mom loved cold desserts, pies and cobblers so we used plenty, and probably around late 1960's or around 1970, she added Cool Whip which I think tasted a lot better years ago. These recipes look wonderful! So does that cookbook. It was published 5 years after my parents were married. I'll have to search for it. She probably didn't have a copy, but the recipes sound like things she would make. The little cookbooks look very interesting. I wish you all the best with your hip surgery and recovery. 🙏🏻🌷🌷🌷🤗 Thank you for another great Sunday video!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and an end to your pain.

[@merriemisfit8406]

Having no time to fool around scooping out tomato guts, my preference is to just slice the tomato and pile the filling on top, cover it with cheese, and microwave it. That is actually my preferred method for making a tuna melt, since I am gluten intolerant. But if I've been very careful watching gluten intake for a while, I can transfer the microwaved pile of tomatoes, tuna and onions, dill pickle slices, and melted cheese onto a slice of rye bread, splash it with some hot sauce, and call it a masterpiece!

[@daughteroftheblackmadonna8936]

I do remember Dream whip! But it’s dim. The horrific assortment of processed food we lived on is truly amazing to me. Lol Get well soon !

[@tarabowersock8875]

When I was younger we used to make an Angel food cake, cut in half (2 rings) mix the Dream Whip and put on held dream whip and cut strawberries. Put on 2nd ring then rest of the berries and dream whip. Hip Replacement- get a leg lifter…highly recommend.

OMG! That's crazy girl! I JUST had arthroscopic labral repair on left hip in March! I'm just wrapping up physical therapy and am about to embark on a two week trip to Colombia, so wish me luck! I've been working hard to be able to just make it through an airport in a hurry! My advice to you, do NOT overdo things if you think "Oh it doesn't hurt" - I was surprised myself in my experience because I had three anchors put in and serious tears from having deformities in the socket and femoral head (both sides too, so right side is coming next year!) the pain was not so bad, but the days when I got overconfident with PT exercises and would dearly pay for it the next day. So listen to your PT, go to all your sesions, the healing is super important, and this is coming from a similarly shaped fellow lady whose hips have been long suffering (and the injuries kept me from doing the things I loved, so I gained weight and was out of shape). Take good care of yourself! Pamper yourself! Get some silly lego or jewelry making kits or something fun to do with your hands when you are stuck in bed the first couple of weeks. Oh, I got a toilet chair for that first couple of weeks, and had to wear a nightgown with ahem, well I ditched the underwear because those first couple of weeks on crutches and not putting any weight on the affected leg can be brutal when trying to pee! The raised bars on the toilet chair were a godsend, and skipping underwear for that first week made the whole process a lot easier. And my partner was amazing, helping me on and off that first week or so. I hope your partner can help you at home so you heal up with more ease. Ok, I was just surprised to hear your update since I haven't run into ANYone else lately who is having or had a labral repair!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I hope your trip goes smoothly. ❤

[@abunchahooey]

It seems like many dessert recipes from the past used Dream Whip as an ingredient, now that it’s on your radar you might see some recipes to help use it up. Different joint, but my sister had shoulder labrum surgery after trying PT and injections and she’s glad she made the decision to have it. Not only is her pain relieved, she feels free from having to modify her day to day activities to prevent increased shoulder pain. She said she sleeps better now with not having to accommodate certain positions to avoid pain. So I wish you a quick and complication free recovery. 😊

So sorry about your hip pain!! I hope the surgery and recovery go super smoothly for you. I loved seeing these late 1950s meals. I especially enjoy a stuffed tomato.

[@marysparrow8647]

Good luck with your surgery. One recipe I remember was from a Jello cookbook. You prepared lime, orange, cherry and raspberry in flat containers and let them set(small packs). I think you use a large pack lemon and let partially set then mix in a of one pack of dream whip prepared into the lemon jello once that is mixed add all of the different jellos to the lemon mixture that set and cut up into squares. This will be put in pan that is lined on the bottom and up the sides with lady fingers(sponge kind). Let it set in fridge until set. I think this was called crown of jewels. It was really good but makes a big pan.

I live in France and there’s a French stuffed tomato dish, but uses ground beef, spices, the tomato flesh and bread crumbs. It’s called Tomates Farcies, not a light dish.
