The Lazy Cook

[cjsmith]

Last weekend I made several batches of different vegetable soups. (Those are convenient campus food, as I can bring them in a thermos without worrying about reheating.) I also made two and a half pounds of chicken breasts simmered in Italian-herbed tomato sauce. None of this took much effort at all.

I ♥ my crock pot.

And this weekend I walked out to my chest freezer and pulled out a week's worth of homemade food that is legal for my current diet. I don't have to go to the grocery store this week if I don't want to. I don't have to cook this week if I don't want to.

I ♥ my deep freezer.

(This is almost like being a normal person who can do things like eat out. Almost.)

How are things going with the feet? Any improvement? Any other benefits from the diet/medicine?

Nah, no improvement. There's some questionable hope about some injections I'm getting in the right foot - local anesthetic directly into the nerve, as a desensitization series - but the jury's still out on that.

I do think the diet is healthier for me than the average diet would be. (Too bad. It sure isn't convenient. :-) )
