Oakhouse frozen foods.

Sorry if I ask Dave, but can the family not batch cook some extra dinners whilst they do their meals and freeze a dinner for you. I do it, so there is a full dinner frozen for lunches or the adult kids to grab. Drives my colleagues mad when I rock up with a Sunday roast in the microwave mid week. Just big enough for lunch.

Yes, daughter looks after me well. eg, today she will do a full English breakfast (which I struggle with as is too generous with it). Tomorrow she will do me a roast chicken dinner.
I also batch cook things like chicken curry.
However @20 quid for 7 meals I gave it a go.
Last night I had their sausage, mash, peas and onion gravy. Very good it was as well.
No way would I pay full price though.

This is the view I take. There will come a time when I'm living alone. I've been thinking about this and one thing I'm aware of is the need to eat properly. I know it's quite likely towards the end of the day I might not want to cook just for myself.

I've already planned that I will batch cook and on most days try to prepare my evening meal in the morning. If I saw an offer of seven meals for £20 I'd buy it to have a third alternative. I wouldn't pay full price. Similarly there are good supermarket meals I would keep in the freezer as another choice.

I have thought about that as well

In my case itis not that I might not want to cook for just me because I much prefer cooking for myself only
the pressure of having to make something someone else will like is something I don;t like
just for me I can chuck anything in and see what happens
but for someone else I have to make it so they can eat it


it is more a case of having the physical ability and energy

and - more in my thought - what if I end up unable to cook by illness or worse - what will my wife do??
and will she eat anything healthy
becuase she sure as hell didn't when I first met her!!!
