I rather enjoy cooking from scratch, but these days I can normally only manage to do so once a week – assuming I’m not either laid up in bed or recovering from being laid up in bed, of course!
When I am able to cook from scratch it does tend to take me all day, because I can only do brief bursts of preparation before having to sit down again for an hour. Luckily I’ve been doing absolutely nowt for five weeks now (last appointment with MS Specialist was over the ‘phone at the end of March), so I’m able to stand in the kitchen for almost three minutes(!) before DH ‘happens’ to wander in to see what I’m up to – I mean ‘offer to help’ – before repeating “Don’t hurt your back. Don’t hurt you back.” like a mantra before disappearing back into the Office.
In the meantime it’s time for a nice mug of coffee . . .
