You can never have enough...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

A sore point for me too Hunni.   My greatest dread as I get old is that one day I won't be able to cook for myself.   I'm really careful about what I eat, I enjoy cooking and make almost everything from scratch.   If I still have my marbles but have to eat bulk catering rubbish I think I will fade away very quickly.

I read a few years ago about a small chain of rest homes somewhere in the UK that made a point of serving fresh high quality food, and the health of their inmates was measurably better than that of their contemporaries who had to eat the  ultra-processed junk that serves as food in most institutions.   The extra cost wasn't huge and I imagine the reduced medical costs would easily cancel out the expense.

Perhaps we need a new law - all those who own rest homes or work in the food preparation for rest homes should be required to eat exactly the same diet as is served in their homes..

I'll bet popeye would vote for that one!

And my banana cake is lovely. No icing. That was pushing the envelope. And the cat approves...
