I just tried to grate a slab of cheese now my arm is burning with muscle pain. Anyone for a chunky cheese sandwich!

[nothingwrong]

Need a good machine I think

[Hidden]

That reminds me of my daughter when grating enough cheese for a party, she complained that she could do with an automatic cheese grater. She looked very sheepish when I pointed out that she had got one, It`s called a food prossesor.

I am very gateful, no pun intended, that I have a good selection of kitchen gadgets. hugs sue

[nothingwrong]

I've never had a food processor but think it's time to invest I don't like giving in to anything but I don't have much choice now I seem to get worse each year

[fenbadger]

Yes please. As long as you don't tell my diabetes nurse

[nothingwrong in reply to fenbadger]

I'm stareing at th pickle jar now but can't grip to open it, plain cheese ok with you

[fenbadger in reply to nothingwrong]

Ooh, ta. Or just put the jar in the sarnie

[vixen49]

Yes please lol

[fenbadger]

This has made me think about sammyj1985 post on clumsiness. I must get a kindle. I have "The Complete Sherlock Holmes" and it's just too plain heavy to hold long enough to read any decent amount

[Lruk in reply to fenbadger]

I bought a kindle for that very reason, I was almost at the point of not being able to read for more than 10 minutes at a time, crisis!

[fenbadger in reply to Lruk]

Hehehe. I hate the word Disabled. Less strong or less mobile is ok. It's kind of great we're getting lazier as a race because there are so many labour saving devices on offer. I remember going into a museum and seeing my twin tub in there, yet they were the last word when they came out. So many gadgets fit people who cant grip anymore. Tracker pads on laptops are great and the keys are so easy to press, and tablets, well. Though I fond some things are less help. I wonder if it takes longer to clean a food processor than to use it

[Lruk in reply to fenbadger]

Probably

cheese & tomato please we buy grated cheese mostly.

Did you know cheese is the worst thing you can eat for fibro it starts a flare up

[nothingwrong in reply to evie222]

no i didnt know that

[fenbadger in reply to evie222]

So apparently are tomatoes and peppers and other nightshade (solanum) family flare for IBS too. I wonder if that's true for potatoes. All south American plants but how many of them we use.

[nothingwrong in reply to fenbadger]

That's all my favourites then no wonder I'm in a constant flare up

[fenbadger in reply to nothingwrong]

Everything I like is illegal, immoral or fattening

[nothingwrong in reply to fenbadger]

Well what am I going to do now that's none of the above!!!

[fenbadger in reply to nothingwrong]

What did we do before Sir Walter Raleigh?

[Julie63 in reply to nothingwrong]

Me too - took Daughter to a certain 'Hut' for her birthday, no wonder I'm so tired now!

[evie222 in reply to fenbadger]

Tomatoes chocolate coke all this starts me offf or makes my fibro worse it could be just me but i have found a pattern o and also red and rosie wine just all the things i enjoy in life its so unfair

[fenbadger in reply to evie222]

Not 'alf. Sounds like tannins are on your list too

Hi nothingwrong

I am so sorry to read that. I must admit that I am lactose intolerant so I will give the chunky cheese a miss thank you.

Hope your arm feels better soon.

Do you have bourbon sarnies?

[nedd]

Thanks for the invitation to share your sarnie. Love cheese jobs. Will bring some home made chutney. I invested in food processor. However good they may be but you have to have the wear with all to cut things small enough to fit. Man about the kitchen does all my perpetration these days. Or he lives off exciting beans on toast. Chopping is a killer it reads havoc on my shoulder and neck. It's one of a ,it's of things that send the pain ometer skywards.

Sending you a gentle hug and muscle soothing vibes.

Ned
