Re: I still do not have any food!!

[Guest guest]

If my mother can cook, any body can cook. She thought dinner was done when the

smoke detector went off. If you can read and follow directions you can cook.

I taught myself how to cook by using cook books just follow the directions.

There are many state programs that teach people how to cook and shop for food.

My mother was taught that way. A woman came to the house twice a week and taught

her. I signed her up for the program and it was free.

There are many ways to learn how to cook. If my mother can cook meals to get by

so can you.

I learned from a cook book and took classes. I was a pastry chef for many years.

Gentle hugs,

I typed in food resources and called the lady with Food for your Soul and she

states there are area programs and one called CANTEEN. I also found

http://www.mealcall.org that lists food programs for Fresno and they can assist

also.

It takes a while and the lady with Food for your Soul stated that you need to

contact the Department of Agency and they will coordinate for you as they are

the main source.

Your personal assistant should be able to help you also. I am sorry about your

situation and you need to contact your Doctor also.

It is now 3:08PM PST

I had my first delivery from Meals on Wheels about an hour ago. I ate

one of the meals (Turkey a la King). It was good!!

I will not be able to have any solid food tomorrow or Friday. I'm

having a colonoscopy performed on Friday. I don't know if I will be in the mood

for food this weekend.

Cooking is not that hard. Look at Hot dogs. You put water in a pan, add the hot

dogs and turn on the stove. Or better yet, stab them with a fork and put them

in the microwave. Simple, and not that bad for you. Though there are better.

I agree. There are tons of " add water and stir " stuff for the microwave! Pasta

is easy (boil and pour sauce over). Grilled cheese. So much that is cheap and

easy. Takes a lot more time and effort to say why things can't be done than to

just do it.

I am on disability allowance. I do not work. I have no partner. I have got 2

children 14 and 12. They have a very good appetite so I have to go careful with

my money. I get my shopping online. It is so easy. My budget is £50. If I have

a bit more money, I might treat us all to something nice but that is all. I have

to find what is the easiest to cook as my pains restrict me from doing a lot.

Either that or my youngest sometimes helps me out. You can do it. I buy

microwave risotto 3 minutes in the microwave and it is done. And it is quite

filling as well plus you can put slices of fruit in it

If you have trouble managing your own money you can get a rep payee. There are

many social service agency that will act as a payee. The payee acts as your

financial representative to ensure your bills are paid and gives you money for

personal care items, etc. I advise having an agency or someone you trust to be

your representative. If you go this route, you just need to fill out some

paperwork for where ever your checks come from.
