The Retirement Thread

I try to stick to the healthier ranges but I do need to up the fruit and veg a bit as it's usually just the odd apple, banana or tangerine. Can't see me ever bothering to cook to be honest. It just seem too much effort and faff with all the ingredients you seem to need for any recipe I've looked at.

C'mon Mo priorities! your health and well being are important! Cooking can be quite enjoyable when you get into it. Indian food is particularly healthy, all those spices,ginger and garlic whizzing around your system will get you running up your hill like a greyhound on amphetamines!

Does anyone else have the rather nasty pale orange background in the posting text box? I have it on both laptop and mobile if I have the tool bar enabled

Mo........a slow cooker is cheap.
You need maybe 6-8
spices** (which are cheap).
Lamb, chicken, beef or a load of veg. Throw some spices in.....easy peasy .
A packet of easy cook rice or spag.
So many easy recipes available.
**it can seem daunting as there are so many but you can easily narrow it down.
Go for it Mo.

I hit “ reply” to boast of my pristine white screen, only to be taken to an anaemic custard screen 🤔

I have to agree with you, I like cooking, but cooking for one is a lot of hard work just for one meal.
That's why I do batch cooking making meals 4-5 for at least and put them in the freezer to use later.
