Food

I've mentioned that I tried fixing dinner once and made a mess of the kitchen. That doesn't mean that I will stop trying. I'll just try to be a little neater. Diana will still prepare most of our meals but I will do some of them. For several years now I have tried to stick to a pattern when planning a menu for the week. We usually have three main dishes for two meals per dish. The pattern is one fish dish, one meatless meal, and one meal with meat, usually poultry. That leaves one more meal. Sometimes we have pizza (so shoot me) or possibly leftover soup and some freshly-baked bread.

Our favorite recipes come from a book called Pillsbury: Fast and Healthy Cookbook. Diana bought this for me several years ago. One would expect lots of cookie recipes (Pillsbury). Not true The book has a wide variety of dishes such as Tortellini with Tomato Sauce. Good and healthy.

We seldom eat out mainly because we don't like to leave Kibbitz home alone but also because the typical restaurant serving is adequate for two-and-a-half really hungry people.


When I first learned about the cancer my appetite plummeted to near zero. Now, however, I can eat a bit more. One of my meds is helpful: dexamethasone. Does wonders for the appetite.

So... hooray for food.
