    What are some ways to cook food so it tastes good and is good for you ?

    Actually you can try experimenting with baking. Things like baked fish fillet, or baked meatballs (you just make your own mince meat with a mix of veggies and seasonings you throw in) or even baked chicken wings will taste similar as they will have crispy surfaces. good luck!

    bb has cold hands& feets

    Well...generally we all tend to lose body heat easiest through our head, hands and soles. If you prefer to follow TCM, then can use more ginger or pepper in their congee (no need to feed them with it) as these can *warm* the body.

    how to tel inlaws nicely?

    Perhaps you can nicely suggest to your hb that if he doesn't mind, can he wash the sofa covers then? If he refuses, then you can tell him since you are doing the washing you can decide if shoe prints are acceptable or not. Or you can ask him to pay to buy new covers to replace.
