Granny's gone and done it again

Dr told me to go on a soft diet today. Not sure that's what she called it but stuff like apple sauce and mashed potatoes. Nothing acidic like tomato

Why?

Put all this in a blender and make a smoothie, complete meal!

Lol, sounds like how my dad used to cook. He would have called it Mulligan stew!

I don’t have it with me, it’s in the recipe card box.

No worries.

I’m staying with a sibling and family.

Nice!

I've been eating like that a lot. Tummy just doesn't want much else. Cchicken with rice soup, cream of chicken, crackers, etc.

Our stomachs must know one another, Blue. I'm amazed that my stomach is letting me sample my cookies without kicking up a fuss. usually, it's chicken, baked fish, green beans, beets or spinach and potatoes. Been like that for 3 years now. A friend asked me a couple years ago if she could talk me into going out to eat and I told her she could talk all she wanted by my stomach would not let me eat restaurant food. She just didn't understand.

No rain here. Just damp and cold. Think they are calling for wet snow up here over night.

DH had to have a procedure earlier this summer. 135,000 dollar bill. VA insurance paid 37,000. Hospital wrote off the rest. They didn't expect to get more than that but they charged that much knowing that. Problem with the US health care system isn't the quality of the care, it's some of the best in the world, it's the flippin insurance companies. IMHO, herd em all up, run em off a cliff. Prices would drop for health care faster than you can say appendicitis. In my husband's practice it was customary for us to write off over 1/3 of our profit thanks to the insurance companies. DH said, I went into private practice so I would work for myself. Then found out I was working for the insurance companies...had to make them a living also along with his own. They are nothing but a big old Ponzi scheme.

Only if you can add yogurt to it and not gag!

What did/does your DH do, Chick? Health care?

Yep, he is a retired optometrist. I worked with him the last 7 years before we retired as his office nurse/office manager. Best 7 years of my career.

Got to head out and feed the cats. Our 24 year old diabetic kitty has to eat 4 times a day. Last time at 9:30 and of course the other 3 are lined up with their little napkins tucked under their chins staring at me.

I almost gagged writing it.
