I also did 20 laps (300 meters) of water walking at the YMCA pool and visited Dad. Most I have accomplished in one day in a very long time!

Yea!!!! Good for you, LP!!!

There's lots of variety, but the thinking ahead in time to thaw it doesn't always jive with what I am hungry for or feel like making a day or two later.
It's a personal issue

Great suggestion, Laurie. Baby steps.
Thanks

I know that one all too well.

It's almost never that I don't feel like cooking. It's dealing with having the right stuff thawed when I need it.

When I bought my first microwave oven in the mid eighties, I thought I was buying a machine that would turn the rocks in my freezer into food in no time flat. I was sorely disappointed. I didn't want it for cooking.
