=========================
 ML> Baked Chicken Breast - A boneless chicken breast
 ML> lightly dusted with herbed bread crumbs and baked
 ML> to golden brown.
 DS> Probably baked until it was dried out.  You would have liked thighs.

I might not have been able to eat even thighs done
as much as this was done.

 ML> Diced Beef, Mashed Squash & Potato - Tender beef
 ML> diced and tossed with a beef gravy. Served with a
 ML> blend of freshly mashed squash and potato.
 DS> I read what you said about this one.  I would have expected nothing
 DS> more.

I never expect more, but once in a while, as with that
cod, one gets better than one expects.

 The squash and potato dish reminds me of a dish that Gail once
 DS> made for a friend when she was recovering from knee surgery.  It was
 DS> layered mashed sweet potato and mashed white potato.  She called it
 DS> dreamsicle potatoes because of the way it looked.

Yes - one could probably use carrots or various other
things as well. Or maybe even (changing the color) peas
or somesuch.

 ML> Chocolate Pudding
 DS> With no dairy ????

To be fair, the nursing instructions said "no milk to
drink," not no milk to eat. Some people can be a little
too literalist.

 ML> Dinner
 ML> Diced Beef, Mashed Turnip & Potato - Tender beef
 ML> diced and tossed with a beef gravy. Served with a
 ML> blend of freshly mashed turnip and potato.
 DS> Leftover from the previous meal?

Or maybe a perennial favorite the fixings of which are
always on hand. Note the imaginative substitution of
turnip for squash.

 ML> Grilled Tilapia - A very tasty white fish! Fresh
 ML> tilapia fillet seasoned with a dash of salt and
 ML> then grilled to perfection.
 DS> Although we have never had any, we have a strong adversion to tilapia
 DS> based on how and where it is raised.

Oh, that was nasty. Funny thing - I came out here, and
the second night Dave's daughter made, of all things,
pan-fried tilapia, and it was excellent, the crust crusty
and the fish done just so. I inquired about the choice of
fish, and she said that she found other white fishes such
as cod, flounder, and pollock too strong! and also that
these fish were sustainably grown, etc. etc. (it's an
eco-sensitive family). After all, tilapia, pigs, chickens,
and so on need not necessarily be grown under horrible
conditions, just they often are.

 ML> Grilled Cheese Sandwich - A simple grilled sandwich
 ML> made with American cheese and old-fashioned white
 ML> bread
 DS> There is that dairy product again.

What can I say? There's apparently no Common Sense 101
in the dietitian's curriculum.
