Kitchen day

 Just to make things absolutely clear - even though I'm diabetic and overweight, I've not been offered (and nor would I request) the Ozempic-type injections.  Just my personal view, I wouldn't have them even if the GP suggested them, they're not for me, the side effects I've read about and the skinny-to-the-point-of-wizened look of some of the celebs who've taken them put me off.  Who wants to lose so much weight that they look like they've aged 20 years and are at death's door?  I do know someone who took one of the weight loss drugs and spent all their time either throwing up or crapping a lot (to put it bluntly), so it's no wonder they lost weight!  And then put it back on after they stopped taking them.....

I'm going to spend the next couple of days batch cooking and baking, for when sister comes to stay, so I don't have to spend ages in the kitchen when she's here, and we'll have some nice treats (cake!) to go with coffee in the afternoons.  We'll probably go out for lunch a couple of times, and have sandwiches or quiche for other lunches, either here at home or as a packed lunch out.  Sis works hard at home, looking after her husband, doing all the housework and cooking, and cooking dinners for family when they come over at weekends, so I like to make sure she has a nice restful time when she's here.  I don't let her wash up even - she's a bit clumsy especially when she's having an MS attack, and I do like my china! 😂

There's loads of chicken left from husband's Sunday lunch, so I'll do a chicken & bacon pasta bake, husband can have some for his dinner tonight and I'll freeze the rest for him and sister.  I'll also make a fish pie, a portion will be for my dinner tonight, with the rest being frozen.  I'll bake a cake of some sort, and possibly some cookies or flapjacks if I have time.  That'll be a good start.

Husband thinks he's pulled a muscle in his back doing some weights at the gym yesterday, so he'll need to take things easy for a couple of days.
