My frozen options are limited, though. Many contain ingredients I'm outright #allergic to or my body responds poorly to. One line I used to eat frequently was discontinued on #Canada and that narrowed things down even more. And the expense! As mentioned above, the #disability pension disabled people in #Alberta rely on has not been increased since 2016. Not that this pension was ever particularly generous, but I've never felt truly food-insecure since grocery #inflation began ramping up so overtly over the past 5-6 years. My family member observed (correctly) that making food can be much cheaper and i definitely healthier than the options I presently rely on. But they also know the physical challenges I face and the implications, so they assessed the kitchen not just for #access to various parts of it, but also to rearrange for usable #workflow. 21/x #usability #organisation #accessibility

In #decluttering, we discovered I had a very good, appropriately small #RiceCooker. I hadn't used it in years, as preparing anything to eat with the rice was beyond me. (Yes, I realise many solutions to that issue probably exist, but I am and have always been genuinely NOT a good cook and it is not an area where I am likely to come up with alternatives. Figuring out stuff with wood and fasteners, no problem. Foodstuffs? No idea. Definitely NOT my skillset). Anyhow, my family member knows I love #porridge but haven't eaten it for years due to my concerns about stove #safety and #tremours. I also loathe the instant packet porridges -- I have no idea what they do to make them taste sweet but unpleasantly over-the-top sweet, but they have accomplished it, ugh. Annnnnnnd … it turns out you can use rice cookers ro cook things OTHER THAN #rice! Not a revolutionary concept to many readers, I know, but this was shockingly new information for me! 😂 22/x #MealPrep #cooking #accessibility #disability #safety
