Anyway, we get on with things and my family member does an amazing job of supporting me by recognising actual needs, pushing hard for things that really aren't needed or easily and cheaply replaced if that changes … the same kinds of things a properly-trained #HoardingSpecialist can help with. It was great to be able to extend on established and ongoing work with the specialist. The additional thing my relative accomplished, though, was the deep understanding of both my limits and the workflow necessary to #mitigate #disability issues related to feeding myself more economically, and setting up and even teaching me HOW to use my rice cooker to do so. 🙂 26/x #FoodSecurity #inflation #poverty #disability #accessibility #workflow #KitchenDevices #appliances #education #CommunityCare

And so, dear readers, I am delighted to announce that I have successfully made myself homemade #porridge for over a month now. It is delicious. It is #nutritious. It is easy to add things to change it up a bit, such as spices or fruit. The one challenge/opportunity is that the recipe my family member passed to me makes enough for three LJLP (LikelyJanLukas Portion) servings. The idea of cold porridge didn't exactly sound thrilling to me. Nor did reducing the recipe ingredient portions, as while #cooking with the #RiceCooker is easy, sometimes #cleaning it is challenging (primarily when I have to rush to an appointment or am having a #JellyFish day where I cannot stay standing for very long). Considering this problem, I wondered whether the additional portions could be re-heated and still be palatable? #MouthFeel is important to me and whilst I will choke down something I can't stand the texture of, two out of three breakfasts like that would be miserable. What to do? 27/x #cooking #reheating
