Hello Everyone,
It's been a hot minute since I've done a text post, but here we are. Hi. I forget if the last post I wrote myself was the really hopeless one, but I promise that I'm doing much better now. My name is Lynn, this is where I scream into the void, but I think I might try to for serious take some notes on here.
I'm 19 1/2, and for the past 8 1/2 years my mom has been fighting cancer. I should note up front that this isn't me about to ask for money or anything, I only want moral support if you want to.
She's had a very, very bad cold for the past two weeks and it has shown me how truly bad it's going to be when she is fully gone. Most days, she's very depressed and has low energy, and lately we've only been eating meals out of the freezer, and honestly it's not good. I'm very tired of this. So this year, I want to try to take over??? A little bit???? At least in the food department, I do a lot of the cleaning anyways so there's not much of a change there. Since there's no real guide for taking over for an ailing parent that I could find online, I decided to start writing here so that people who're also in my situation can have notes in the future.
So; here are my food goals this year:
Fry chicken. I'm white and young so I'm very scared to do this, but homemade chicken fingers with mac and cheese and asparagus sound SO good.
Grow a bunch of my own stuff, revamp the veggie garden box we have in the back. Onions and Potatoes are something I'm trying to study more about since we use these a lot in cooking, but I think I'll start with easier plants this year like green beans and tomatoes.
Figure out how to make a pasta sauce that's on par with the sauce we usually like (Mid's meatless)
Make bread at home at least once a week
Before you wonder about the patriarchy and where the hell my dad is, he works long hours and also can end up travelling for like 2-3 days out of the week a lot of times, so it's not his fault he can't help much. I can't just not do this either, not only do I care about what I eat myself, but also I have a little sister that does not deserve to only eat freezer meals, so I'm doing this for her.
