Hi,
Well your situation is different and understandable. If it is an option for you to hire a cook/housekeeper then maybe she or he would be willing to make several meals that could be frozen. So you do have will power if you can stay off pain meds. But being inactive probably leads to the food cravings . A rock and a hard place for sure.

I’d like to know if your family owned or ran a bakery too.....how interesting.

I remember root beer floats...wow and an orange drink and hot dog with relish at Coney Island...Eggcream sodas.....and the first White Castle hamburgers.....the best things ever back then....and those little wax bottles that were filled with liquid...use to chew the wax and spit it out.....and a bottle of Pepsi with a whole sleeve of Ritz crackers while reading the latest Nancy Drew book....omg I need a snack.....

Stay well....FL Mary

What on earth is eggcream soda? Sounds more repulsive than cooking. Does it have eggs in it. I detest eggs.
No, we didn’t have a bakery. It would never have made a profit with me around. I think your right about inactivity and cravings. Everything tasted better back then, or so I’m told. I have no memory of my first 15 years and pretty sparse afterwards. My Mom told me they had those wax bottles in her day and mine but I don’t remember. Gotta ask my brother.
Egg cream soda sounds vile!!! I remember orange cream, scrumptious!!!

@imallears My grandfather supposedly invented those little wax bottles with syrupy liquids inside, and the way they were produced. According to some people, he was a mechanical genius and invented all matters of things. Others claim he was a scofflaw. He passed before I was born. And there's your trivia for today!
