Hi All
I thought I would mention a frozen food company that might be useful for people who are dashing up to the hospital every five minutes and have no time to prepare a meal.(I have no interest in the business but realise this may be classed as an advert and removed)
Stephen and I both love to cook and do almost everything from scratch but when he was in KCH for his SCT by the time I got home I really could not be bothered to cook for myself. I had put a couple of 1 person home cooked stews and shepherd?s pies etc. down the freezer but not many, and I soon relied on grabbing a sandwich.
Some time after Stephen came home I saw an advert for Wiltshire Farm Foods. We had always cooked quite a bit for Stephen's mum (83) Well not so much cooked for her but did a bit extra of whatever we had if it would freeze. When Stephen came home we knew that we would not visit her for quite a while (she lives some distance away) and that she would revert to a sandwich and a bowl of soup a great deal of the time.
We persuaded her to try a taster pack from Wiltshire?s and it was a hit. The meals come on a tray some can be microwaved or oven baked and some baked only. They are complete meals and while not quite home cooking very acceptable. If I had known of them when Stephen was in hospital I certainly would have had them in the freezer.
For Stephens mum she loves the fact that when we go down to see her she gives us a meal instead of relying on us to take something down. She feels that she has fed us instead of us feeding her.
Another nice thing for anybody vulnerable is that the drivers are all police checked and the guy comes in shows mum in law the order and packs it all away in the freezer. All meals in the brochure are marked with diet codes (low salt, low fat, diabetic etc and are quite reasonably priced.)
