Realised today that the almost inevitable metamorphosis for females is upon me, unless swift and decisive action is taken - I will turn into my mother!
Mum is a Type2. So she doesnt eat pasta, rice or potatoes, bread only in small quantities every lunch time, but does eat cakes, puddings, fruit two or three times a day) chocolate and sweets... but she is 86..although her mother lived to 100...
Am finding LC very difficult atm. With limited cooking facilities, and MrSlims serious medical condition which needs a low protein, low fat, diet, his recommended foods are nearly all carbs. White bread, potatoes, rice and pasta which complicates matters. He has a sweet tooth and buys cakes, biscuits and puddings too. We often end up with two separate meals.
The freezer is tiny and the fridge is erratic (sometimes freezes everything or else puddles of water in the base,) so batch cooking is not really possible.
Probably going back to some version of Sunday lunch which we can both eat, if I don't have potatoes and he has a smaller portion of the meat. This seems the easiest compromise, but it does get boring.
Other happenings. My laptop has had only 8 mins of life without mains, so MrSlim bought and fitted a new battery. Yay! Green light. But now it won't start. The power switch has sometimes needed several jabs to get it going. Nothing doing now. And laptop rattles.
New battery for my piece of junk laptop. Well, maybe battery can be sold on ebay.
The day is getting away from me, no chance for early shopping trip now. Ofc part of that is I don't really want to go out...First day out of lockdown am expecting shops and other places to be busy. However might be able to buy spare gas bottle now. Unavailable during lockdown.
@Jayb72 welcome to the forum and this thread in particular.
