My sister in law served a light, yet delicious lunch. She cannot have some dishes as her mother has been o a special diet for over 50 years. 50 years ago, she had an infection at the pancreas. She was at the hospital and they told her to be on a diet with no cream and other things. The lady has followed the diet exactly as it was told to her when she was ill. Now she if over 100 years old and when my SIL invites her, we must all eat her diet. Fortunately my SIL is a good cook. She had an awesome baked trout with an artichoke pudding and not so good mashed potatoes that she had made in a special machine. She also had leche flan for dessert and we shared our different recipes. We ended the meal with coffee, tea or herbal tea. I chose herbal. What have you done today? In my country it is a religious holiday.

Also in our country it was a religious holiday yesterday "The Assumption of Mary". When you follow the diet the doctors suggest this is the best medicine.

Still, I think that having a strict diet for 50 years is too much.

@LadyDuck I guess so. And after a while you don´t crave for it any longer.

@marguicha It is hard in the beginning may be, but then you get the habit to avoid some food.

@JustBhem I mix everything in the blender while I make caramel in the pot. Then, I put everything to the oven.

My SIL manages to make delicious food even when she invites her mother.

Pancreatic problems don't usually end well. Obviously the special diet has worked well in this case. Congratulations to her.

She had it fifty years ago. And it wasn´t cancer or any such thing.
