be eaten bu either of them. Multiply it by ever how many people are
in a place like that and you get bland, boring food.
Exactly! That's why I guessed they didn't use her recipes.
Seasoning?! No, this is for a home. We just boil everything and slop
it on a plate.
That's about right.

Definatly! She's also a nurse and goes with Mom for her medical appointments.
That is quite handy! Same with me I have my sister who's a nurse.
handed person who the teachers smacked until she learned to use her
right hand.
My parents/teachers foreced me to use my right hand for a number of
years; I think I was in my early teens when I switched back. It just
felt more comfortable. Now, to a certain extent, I'm ambidexterous
(or as Steve likes to say, "amphibious").
She never did switch back, but she would have also been quite a bit
older then you, she was born in 1929.
in unless it was working.) I suspect it's now non working but Mom
used it a lot, cooking for herself and Dad, baking (lots of cookies
for the staff), even doing a small turkey one year for Thanksgiving.
Covid killed any travel plans, then my in laws moved up to New York
State.
that a doctor told her if she went by herself, or get things mixed
up, so the (trained) second set of ears is good. I presume you run
things by your sister for verification also.
That was the year my mom was born. Her handwriting was always bad;
walked across the paper. She said that her father was a left handed
but forced to use his right hand child; I've halfway wondered if
that was the same situation for her.

New york state is nice.

Oh yes, if something doesn't sound right I call her and let her know
what I was told, and she either has the answer already or will
promptly drive over and figure it out. She lives 5 mins away, I am
1.5 hour drive away so she gets the brunt of the work.
That was the year my mom was born. Her handwriting was always bad;
I can't believe it's coming up on 100. She passed away in 1992 I
believe it was.

Quite probably!

I'm surprised they actually had one that worked. The kitchen area also
apartment for a small dining table between one side of the kitchen and living room.
My nearest siblings live several states north of here, takes more than
a day's drive.

You know, I'm enjoying the way I camp now more than the tents. (G)

I wonder if a previous tenant smuggled it in? Or paid a whole heck of
a lot extra for them to allow it.

That sounds okay.

Well I guess I"m lucky. Of course I can't remember the last time I
saw my sister in person... probably 8 years now.

Same here. I'd never want to go back to a tent.
I know at least one other unit (visiting with my MIL) had a stove so I presume more were working at one time. Then, as more people moved in
with Althezheimer's or other dementias, the managment disconnected the stoves for safety reasons.
It worked well for 2 people who didn't get out that much. Before they moved there, they lived in an "over 55" manufactured home community
I saw my sister in person... probably 8 years now.It's been close to that for me.

Oh interesting. I know the assisted homes around here only have the shared kitchen / dining room you can book if you are having family
etc. I believe someone has to sign a form stating they are in charge
of the stove as well.

This is what I wish my parents would have done. Instead they bought a condo townhouse and promptly dad got involved in running the entire
place. Mom got him to step down a few years back though. So now
he's just all alone when she goes out.

I don't feel so bad now. I always think I'm a bad brother, but
whenever I make the drive she is busy, and even though her husband and
her visit a store half a block from here they won't pop in.

I can still get up from the ground. However I don't enjoy it. :)
Pain levels are through the roof on a good day right now.
meal. Mom has a full size fridge, a small microwave and a full size
sink in her apartment so she can do some food prep on her own but
usually eats in the central dining room.
months later. Dad had been living at home, with a live in caregiver
for about 15 months before then. Now my brother owns the family home.
I can get up, but it takes more work and hopefully something to grab
hold of. Pain levels ebb and flow but are usually manageable with low levels of medication thru out the day.

That's not too bad then, at least if she's not feeling like being
around people she can heat up soup or something,

Good that it stayed in the family after your parents had to move out.

I'm in near constant pain now but thankfully I don't need any
medication yet, I just deal with it and limp / move slow / get in
everones way. Once a day I allow myself a smoke of cannabis which
takes the pain away enough I can get to sleep. I had a script for it
for years and years, but gave it up when they legalized it for all use here, it's easier to just walk to one of the many thousand stores.
LOL
True, she is able to get out and shop for her favorite soups, cold
cuts, etc.
Yes, the thought crossed our mind about buying it but we were never
in the place to do so. My brother was so we let him have it.

I understand that. I was in a position to buy a family home and I
did, however times changed and I ended up having to sell it. Ah well sometimes life doesn't go the way we want.
Some people do live life the way they thought they would as they were growing up. I think that's a rather small percentage tho; there's
maybe just read about. We'd never thought about living in AZ but
about a year after we moved there, one of Steve's computer friends introduced him to Fido...............and here I am.
do with all the figs we got last year. I remembered the article, went
on a recipes site and found a recipe. It's now part of my cooking "heritage".
Yes, I was also in a crafting and a sewing/quilting echo while they existed. I miss them at times but not the negative aspects (that's
all I'll say) of them.
The fig cake is quite popular whenever I bring it to an event. Last
winter I brought it to an American Legion/Auxiliary dinner and had 3 requests for the recipe once word got out who brought the cake.
