It is important to me to cook food for myself and people I love, despite the fact that my ability to use my hands is limited by chronic pain. I am sometimes so "violently opposed to peeling a couple of vegetables" that it makes me want to throw up.
Last night, I was planning to have buckwheat porridge with chopped pear and dried cranberries. I picked up the knife to cut up the pear, and decided to substitute frozen blueberries. (There was no banana in the apartment. I could have cut banana.) I wanted breakfast for supper because I was dealing with post-travel and post-migraine queasiness yesterday. Most evenings, I am considering vegetables to cut up or take out of the freezer.
(Canned green beans and wax beans? Did the plants just take over your garden and your stepmother had to do something with the surplus? In my experience, frozen green beans are quite good [sometimes as good as fresh, depending on the storage conditions for "fresh"] if the packaging is good enough that I can't smell the beans through the plastic. Whenever I've had canned green beans, they've been dismal.)
