In our freezer are currently smallish pieces of cooked meats: ham, turkey, chicken and roast beef.  The ham and beef are there for Ed to defrost and have with his salad at night if he chooses...and the turkey and chicken mainly to make chicken/turkey salad for sandwiches.  We also have cooked ground pork and hamburger to add to sauces or Chinese dishes or soups if either of us gets around to that part of life again (not for two years now...).

Maybe we could use a topic (for me, if no one else) on how to deal with meals when there was no time to prepare before it all went south and the prime meal maker (me) is no longer able to function on her feet much of the time and the once-upon-a -time sous chef (Ed) is now responsible for most of the meals and all the work I used to do, like cleaning, and grocery shopping and cooking and laundry and keeping the home not resembling a...how should I put it?...googled 'slum' and they're all fairly negative...an untidy place.  He's old, he's overworked, he's tired, his back hurts a fair amount now.)  And his limited culinary expertise is becoming more than I can bear....what a crab I am...  The pieces of meat notion in the freezer is a help.
