05Dec23: different priorities….

Andy helps himself to the “nip when the mood strikes him.

The asparagus season is on us! I’ll steam half of this for lunch today. I’ll eat it on toast, with a Béchamel sauce and these boiled eggs chopped and put on top. A bit of paprika and a shake or two of Tapatio hot sauce, and I will be one happy fellow!

Andy will sit on the table in a ‘nip stupor till it wears off….

Bananas are something I need to eat in very controlled amounts, but I take a potassium blocker – or is it phosphorus – when eat them to (I hope) not exceed tolerable limits for a guy on dialysis.

As long as I’m going for broke, I’ll eat at least one peanut butter-banana toasted sandwich before this bunch is completely eaten! Yeah, it has mayonnaise on it, too. Lettuce, if I have it on hand. 

Andy is still in his ‘nip stupor….

A sweet potato, a tomato, and an onion…. They’ll end up in something delicious or be eaten minimally prepared, like a simple baked sweet potato, something I enjoy.

Good grief, Andrew! I think you are still in a ‘nip stupor! And you have ‘nip in your face fur!

  1. Lots of good things to eat there! I suspect you may be on a phosphorus blocker, being kidneys are your main issue.

    Our collective best to you and Andy as you enjoy good food, nip and Christmas season cheer! 🎄🌟❄️

    • I’ve been able to prepare meals since childhood. My mother encouraged my sisters and brother and I to be able to do this since she was a teacher and sometimes it was nice to come home after work and have a meal waiting!

  2. Ha, Andy looks thoughtful and preoccupied in that second picture; perhaps he had a transcendent experience from the ‘nip. Sounds like you are getting some good veggies and fruits in your diet, as well as some tasty treats!

  3. Waiting for something,doesn’t seem delicious all they are, Yes Andy? Waiting for something but not dear Doug’s menu…? hmmmmm. Thank you, have a nice day, Love, nia
