I just put dinner together and in the oven....not usually very newsworthy, but it is today, because I just used raw meat for the first time since September! And I didn't get sick....or even gag! This is BIG news. Just ask my husband. The poor guy has been living on frozen food and sandwiches for three months. A couple of weeks ago I was finally feeling well enough to make dinner most nights again, but I hadn't really attempted anything with raw meat. I knew the raw meat would make me sick.
Two weeks ago I put a pork loin in the crock pot and set it in the garage all day to cook, so I wouldn't have to smell it. It worked well, and we got our protein, but I didn't have to do anything with it.
So tonight I'm making meatloaf. I just mixed it and shaped it BY HAND with narry a gag. Hooray! Life is (sort of) back to normal!
Yay! That's an accomplishment! I'm not in gagging mode anymore, but I'm just so tired that I can't get my act together to prepare dinner. So we're still eating a lot of convenience foods. Today Katy brought home a "recipe book" from her preschool class that was all recipes from parents in her class and I thought, hmmm...maybe this will motivate me to actually cook something for dinner.
