Hello all.
My wife has trouble remembering sequences, but I usually get her to set up our oven under my supervision. I have put red stickers with numbers on by each button or dial that she needs to use on the control panel, and then instruct her in what to do step by step. I plan to change to different colour stickers soon as the numbers no longer mean anything to her.
She is also our vegetable peeler and cutter, though fine cuts are beyond her, so julienne carrots have disappeared off the menu and we just accept missed bits of peel
. I also get her to stir soups, sauces, gravy, frying onions etc. It all has to be done under supervision but I really value her contribution.
Sadly she can no longer make tea unsupervised as she couldn't work out what to put where. Unsupervised, we have had hot water in the cups, milk in the teapot, cold water tea etc. At least she is a willing helper and long may it stay that way.
