Thanks for the update @bubbs. On the positive side, the GP sounds very thorough and your mum is going to get some attention to her own health. A big shock that it's more than her knee though. I suppose it's trial and error getting the right dosage for your dad but it's a move in the right direction. 🤗
Shame about the chips @joedenise. Since you said about chips crisping up I've been checking and my best ones are when I can have the oven at 200+ but that's not practical when I've got fish or something else that needs a lower temperature. 🤔0 -
Sorry to hear about your mum bubbs.
Not what you needed at the moment.
My mum is currently having investigations of her heart too.
ECG last week & then she has to go back for a monitor thingy.

Sorry @bubbs only just seen your post. Must have posted while I was typing mine earlier. Sorry to hear about your mum, not surprised she wants next week over. As @maman said the GP sounds very thorough.
Hope your mum is OK @beanielou, it's good that she is having the investigations so at least the doctors will know for certain what is wrong. Once they know what's what they can at least start treatment.

@beanielou - have a look online at the SW recipes. There's loads of baked risotto recipes and loads of baked pasta ideas.
What about vegetable jambalaya? Curries?
I just put rice recipes in the search box and more than a dozen came up!
Typed in pasta recipes and there's absolutely loads!
I'm sure you can find loads of ideas!0
