I don’t know if I have said much about Ashley, but he enjoy’s cooking and says he wants to be a Chef when he is older.  He does cookery at school and enjoy’s it immensely.  He makes great quiches, pizza’s (even makes his own base) and makes a mean Chicken Masala, which wpes the floor with my Masala.  His trick is he is over generous with the olive oil and I of course skimp on the fat during cooking being on a diet. 

Lately however, I think his sodium needs have been governing how much salt he put’s into stuff he cooks for us.  If I am busy he will cook dinner and usually we are all salivating at his culinary exeprtise, but this week, everyone tucked into their rice and masala and everyone BUT him spat the stuff out.  When quizzed how much salt he had put in the rice, he said he put a tablespoon ful in there cos he can’t get enough of the stuff at the moment.  LOL!!!

He sat there and ate the whole lot!  We all just ate the masala.  He then tucked into everyone else’s rice obliviosu to the fact it was downright sickly.  I didn’t think it funny at the time as I had been looking forward to rice!  However,  now realise he has been on dex the past 6 weeks and again we are having problems with just 100mcg of florinef.  He is obviously missing the mineralocorticoid properties of hydrocortisone again, but it must take this length of time for it to crop up.  That and I suspect he forgot to take his previous dose of florinef (1/2 an 100mcg tab) and we all suffered the consequences. LOL!

I can just imagine that happening whilst working for a restaurant when he is off color or lacking salt...  :) We have had to ask him NOT to add salt during the cooking process but to add it on his own food when it has been dished up.
