To: Libloather; All
I have a “food police” sister-in-law. She was a huge help to me when my husband was dying of cancer last year. She would travel for 5 hours to come help me.

I knew not to buy any groceries when she was coming, because she is a health nut and prefers to go to the grocery herself to buy our food. I was not allowed in the kitchen when she was here. No veggie is cooked, it's all eaten fresh. Salads are not bunches of lettuce, there may be some special lettuce in there, but the rest is food you wouldn't necessarily think goes in a salad. There might be some cooked chicken that she got freshly cooked at the grocery deli. She would stand at the kitchen sink as long as it took to prepare fresh veggies.

She would bring a filled plate to me so I could watch TV while I ate. IT WAS DELICIOUS!

She and the husband come to see me every chance they get and I know she will fix every meal and it will be DELICIOUS.

I don't think school kids are getting the healthy type food she fixes. It would take the cooking staff too long to put together a feast like she does.

They are coming Thanksgiving and I will actually cook. I've promised her I would bake Cornish Game Hens with Apricot glaze dripping off them. I'll make cornbread dressing and wild rice, plus asparagus with an amount of honey mustard dressing dripped on top of the asparagus. I do love both of these people.
