@2me thank you for acknowledging many of us in this thread, (me included, I appreciate that). I respond back because so many of you have helped me, and I truly appreciate that, too. As for the takeout food, you may be referencing either restaurant, if not, go to the convenience section of your grocery store. You can purchase already made breaded chicken breasts (and sauce them at home with store bought marinara and melted cheese). Reheat them first, in an oven until warm and crisp. Some of your good seafood markets, have fresh fish prepared (for two). If you do the chicken, after you've heated the breaded filets, take a baking sheet and pur marina and put cheese on top. heat the breaded filets until crisp, then take baking sheet pour marina and mozzarella cheese on top. Once the cheese melts, you'll see it slides right off the tray onto your crisp filet. Welcome, chicken parmesan, and the added perk, leftovers you can freeze it. This isn't meant to be a cooking lesson, this morning, but I'm doing a lot of convenience (from a good grocery or seafood market who already does prepared food). Rotisserie chickens are great too, etc. The fact that your husband fixes breakfast and lunch give you some reprieve. Meals can be a pain when not prepared. As for the tech devices, I know, I'm battling the same thing. We were hacked into in 2024, so I worry constantly about him clicking on things, he shouldn't be on. That's the biggest thing here for me. That and trying quietly (but strongly) taking over the bills, that he keeps telling me he needs to do. Oh, boy........PS, in all this confusion, Mother's Day, he gave me a card, that read, I'm so grateful that the sweet, supportive woman I love is also such a strong one." We never know what's going on in this mindful journey. Best, Karla

@kjc48 Karla, Thanks so much for this, and I appreciate ANY dinner tips you’d like to share! We do take advantage of rotisserie chickens, and I know they are higher in sodium so not too often. We pair them with a big salad, and still have leftovers! And I do hear you on the tech part…so sorry you were hacked. That’s my greatest fear, also. Thanks to advice from someone on here, reminding me what I already knew, we did freeze our credit, to that is one thing I feel good about. And how nice that you got such a wonderful message on your Mother’s Day card! Take good care. I’m off to jot down the Chicken Parm suggestion.😊
