I just cooked my first post-surgery meal!

[ponygirlmom]

Until now, the most I've done is season the food for my husband. But today I cooked liver n' onions. (See Recipes for the recipe.)

I can't wash the big pan by myself (too heavy) but I think I can do the prep tools.

Wow!...you are doing well...and the liver is full of goodness...enjoy your meal!

It was so funny seeing my husband TRYING to cook when I first
came home. First of all he did'nt even seem to know where alot
of the utensils and spices were, and I don't want to tell you some
of the things he did --he would never forgive me.
Men can be so adorable-Bless Them!!

Reading these posts reminded me of how my dad had to cook for us when my mom was in the hospital. He asked us each what we wanted- chicken noodle soup, Spaghetti-o's, and the like- so of course we all wanted something different. He opened up all the requested cans, and since we couldn't eat the whole can, he would put the requested food in my mom's biggest ladle-about 1 cup- and pass it over the burner on low a few times to heat the food. Then he would put the Hershey's chocolate lid on the can with the leftovers and put it in the refrigerator. We all got what we wanted, and we were probably much easier to deal with in my mom's absence. I'm sure that my mom wouldn't have approved, good cook and conscientious mom that she is, but we all knew to keep our mouths shut, and the only evidence was a somewhat scorched ladle. And none of us ever got "ptomaine poisoning" as my mom used to put it.

Nicer in Idaho,

long ago, my BIL (who had 6 kids) and lived in Belgium, hd to take over the chores every time his wife went into hospital to have the next one. They got chocolate sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and probably any and all snacks in between As far as I know, none of them ever suffered, either !

That's pretty ambitious!

I went from the hospital to my parents' home for 2 weeks.
I fixed dinner twice, or tried to do so. First time was July 4 and second time was several days later.
Both times took longer than normal because I was tired. I also discovered that it takes a lot of strength just to chop veggies!

By the way, my husband wanted liver and onions when he got home after his OHS. Only, he can't have wheat, so I cooked some bacon along with onions, seared the liver and then cooked the whole shebang in wine for a minute. He likes it a lot this way, and we just season with a little garlic salt and Johnny's seasoned salt.

Slightly cooler in Idaho,
