Hi AkiNara,

Hope you didn't go too off mb. Maybe your Dad just needs to simplify for a while, cook a little greater quantity of beans/grains so more time to deal with vegetables (ie., eating the same grains/beans for a couple days) - he sounds like an amazing person.

Sadly, I think too much of mb is presented like an all or nothing deal, and beginners too often are afraid of making mistakes. heck, life is full of mistakes, at least mb is a great direction even with mistakes. Again, I strongly suggest that you look to condiments (try the shop on this site) to add variety to the meals - or just look for different kinds of vegetables that you're not used to eating, and cook them simply. always have some lovely bright green on any brown dishes, like parsley, or chives, or green onions, or quickly cooked leeks or kale, collards, or brocolli. Quickly cooked radishes also add lovely color.

do you and your Dad eat together? I'm still stuck on the idea of jokes :>) enjoy each other's company, laugh, share, happiness adds loads of vitamins to the food that you just can't get even with the best cooking!!!!!!!

I'm rooting for your Dad, and for you. Hope Warren comes through with flying colors for you guys. Hey, maybe he can move in for a while :>) - think big!!!

Love to you both
Klara
