Jay update with a Weekly Menu finish
The medicine we got for Jay has helped him keep down his Pedialyte. It also has the benefit of making him drowsy. He’s sleeping in his bed! The drawback is that the stuff is disgusting. Mac smelled it and said, “I don’t think they flavored this for kids. Ew, it’s green.” Jay gagged it down. Mac took a tiny taste as well. His face was as bad a Jay’s. I took the famous “spoon full of sugar” lyric literally, and I immediately gave Jay a spoonful of Agave nectar to swallow.
It has been a very busy week, and with Jay being sick, routines feel off. I think we ended up eating takeout three times. Eek! Tonight, I just made French toast since I had some homemade bread I need to use. I had coffee with it because I didn’t think I would make it through dinner if I didn’t. That used up all my eggs and all my half-n-half. I decided to make a night grocery run, taking Ada with me. I still have yet to check out the remodeled Dillons on 23rd, so we made an out of the way trip. It is quite an improvement, and I was surprised to find all the cheese they now sell. They are remodeling the one on 6th & Wakarusa, and it looks like it is going to be just about as big as the one on 23rd. I may actually shop there more often. For cheese anyhow. I didn’t take the time to plan out meals for the week, but I did at least decide on two. The only meat that Ada will eat willingly is Fillet Mignon and KC Strip. As much as I would love to have that every night, it isn’t going to happen. One of our takeout meals this week was Pad Thai, and she did eat the tofu. So, I’m using it for one meal:
Saturday: Seared Tofu with Gingered Veges
Sunday: Pasta with Sun-dried Tomato Pesto and Goat Cheese
Ada has enjoyed the goat cheese I picked up last week. I take a small amount and pat it into a disk, then I press it in chopped hazelnuts and toast it in a pan until the cheese just starts to melt. It is really good that way.
