Re: [TMIC] TM and cooking
We also grill a lot, and our son Daniel and his family live with us right now and when he isn't in class, working or having too much homework, he is great at helping with cooking or grilling. I try to get him to take over 2 nights or more a week, but getting increasingly more difficult with his new schedule. He makes such a huge deal out of meat prep and cooking though that he can hardly manage to get a whole meal done. Mind you he's a great cook, nearly chef quality in some things that he prepares. I don't grill much myself since we have a 4 foot stainless steel grill and raising and then lowering the lid is very cumbersome for me and I get tired of asking for help. It's wonderful though as we can cook a party load of meat and tons of corn at the same time. Daniel has smoked a salmon that he caught on it too. Both of our boys are very good cooks, much better than their wives, so they really don't do much cooking since the guys do it much better. And the boys take over when there's a party or family function going on, and that works for all of us. I make a couple of dishes and they take care of the rest. I taught them young, that if they were going to want to eat well, they needed to be able to cook well. It's much easier on the wallet and healthier to know what's in your food.

Initially as my body sort of woke up as I say, I went gradually from having no pain or feeling to having more and more pain. I still have decreased sensation in some areas and hyper or hypo sensation and pain in others. I have B/B issues too. As time goes on my symptoms still don't really change. My symptoms are so much like so many others here and that's the reason that I stay. I think this may be relative to the fact of it being spinal cord injury, not sure. Maybe injury is injury, and the effects of it remains the same depending upon where on the cord the injury happens. But, I may be over simplifying things. I am very pleased to say though, and this is extremely important to me, that when I do slack off on my exercises and notice my body getting weaker, it does bounce back when I get back into an exercise routine again. I generally stop doing my exercises when I get sick and need all the energy and strength just to get around the house and to the bathroom. And at that point I really weaken.

My hubby is Boss of the Barbecue here in Calgary. We also can barbecue year round even when it snows. Our barbecue is on the basement 'walk-out' patio so is undercover. Of course we don't use it when the temps are below about minus 10 or minus 15 Celcius. It can take a little bit longer as you have to keep the barbecue temp up. It is a nice break from 'comfort food' cooked in the house all winter to have a barbecued hamburger, steak or pork chop etc in the middle of winter. :) Heather in Calgary - Original Message - From: Barbara Alma To: elbobber...@earthlink.net ; tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 1:39 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] TM and cooking We also grill a lot, and our son Daniel and his family live with us right now and when he isn't in class, working or having too much homework, he is great at helping with cooking or grilling.
