[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2534739, member: 25851"] I always knew that once I lost my husband, I wouldn't bother to cook - and I didn't bother, even before he died because he was on a liquid feed, directly into his stomach for the last few months of his life. That's when I stopped even trying. I didn't have to make food for Neil either because his diet has, for many years, been so restricted that he just decided for himself what to eat and just made it for himself. I even virtually stopped eating for quite a while (just tea and the bare minimum of prep or cooking, once in a while). After ending up in hospital I decided to take myself in hand. I still only cook properly when I feel the urge and just do the bare minimum most of the time. But I do try to think about what I'm eating and have a reasonable diet these days. Problem now is that I either feel too ill to eat, or too exhausted or in pain to stand and cook or prep food. I have a bad habit of making the food and then throwing it out because I can't eat. Sometimes I force myself by buying a relatively expensive ingredient and then I just have to cook - like buying the brisket almost 2 weeks ago to make corned beef. An interesting experiment, to keep me interested and expensive enough not to let it go to waste. I brined it for 10 days and then cooked it yesterday. Now I just hav e to bother eating it. Edit to add: Of course, I still bake fairly often these days, because it's one of the things Em likes to do when she comes here. [/QUOTE]
