DH and I are in our early 70’s but still mainly like to eat the food we had when we married in 1968. I wasn’t a great cook then (may be some would say that hasn’t changed!) but I used the recipes my mum gave me. DH has always only ever wanted quite plain food and I have always cooked from scratch although we didn’t call it that in the 60’s, I bake and make as much as I can that we like to eat. For lunch DH has just finished the last portion of home made Christmas cake and a batch of marmalade is simmering on the cooker to be finished later. Our menu for this week has been
Sunday Beef casserole, mash and vegetables.
Monday Cheese omlette, chips, peas and sweetcorn.
Tuesday Cod fish fingers, potato bake and vegetables.
Wednesday Lamb casserole, mash, carrots, peas and broccoli.
Tonight will be either salmon or bacon and cheese pasty etc.
Neither of us eat between meals or snack but usually have just a very few pieces of chocolate each evening. We rarely eat out, DH has a glass of home brewed beer most evenings but neither of us are at all overweight and still quite active so think may be the ‘old fashioned’ way of eating is ok.
