Non onerous is important in our house, and having frozen veg that can easily be microwaved means we'll eat veg more often than not.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

I bought a bag of baby carrots and looked up recipes for glazed carrots. I will probably actually eat some of them by the end of the week. I need to remember that butter is tasty and is useful for cooking things.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Metamucil and apple sauce sounds like death by a 1000 cuts to me.
And that's a whole separate issue -- he REALLY shouldn't still be living alone
This sounds like the real issue to me, although I admit I don't know your SIL, but her reaction sounds like guilt to me. As you've pointed out, his eating may not be perfect, but it's fine. And whose eating is perfect anyway?

Bourbon makes everything better.

This sounds like the real issue to me
Oh, it 100% is. The problem with him being an autonomous adult is that he's resistant to moving to a care facility, so unless he's incapacitated, whether mentally or physically, he's staying put in his house. So we have to work with that, which means frozen dinners.
And I've posted about pancakes so much that now I REALLY want blueberry pancakes. I have both pancake mix AND blueberries...but it's 11 p.m., so I think I'll pass on the pancakes for tonight. But soon, man. SOON.
