What did you cook or eat today (October 2021)?

That's the only way my mum ever served cauliflower and I sometimes also do to this day. But normally with cheese.

My mum called it cheese sauce, too, but that´s probably because she never learned French . I seem to remember that a lot of it came in packets from Sainsbury´s!

My husbands mom makes it from a packet, I make it from scratch. My husband was surpised it could actually taste good!

I don't think my Mum had every heard of Sainsbury's never mind their packet mixes. She died in '77.

All right. Being independent ,even on 2 crutches is good, means a lot.
Good job!
Can you do some gardening in a seated position?

I doubt it. To garden at home, I need to be able to reach the ground. Everything at the new place (we moved 3 years ago) is ground level. So I'd need to be able to kneel which should be OK provided my hip position doesn't get less than 90°. It will be how I get to my feet that will be the challenge. But I should be able to weed seedling with the hoe because that's a standing position but full weeding and planting could take longer I guess.

I'm still in hospital currently (inpatient rehab) and have yet to do the kitchen test with occupational therapy... the review is tomorrow. That will tell me if I'm going home in the coming week or if they think I need another week (which they may because of the pain meds I'm on are still very high), typically 50-60mg of Endone a day on top of 20mg oxycontin (in addition to my normal pain meds).

Yesterday wasn't as successful on the food front
This was supposedly a Moroccan pumpkin salad. You and I would call it lettuce leaves with pumpkin. I wasn't particularly impressed.

Apparently it is a Moroccan pumpkin salad with chickpeas & hummus!

Maybe she did. I think “convenience” was all the rage for 1950’s homemakers.

My cheese lady boss gifted my son a kilo of his favourite cheese from her company.

Breakfast bowls - salad, Haloumi, egg, Persian chilli oil & little yogurt flatbreads.

The birthday human always chooses the whole days menu. My son chose nachos for dinner.

The little green toms are from the last jar of hm green tomato salsa I made in 2019.

I like that idea.
