No one could be more thoughtful and caring in catering to HG’s food needs than HG’s beloved daughter, the gifted Lesley R. Here’s an example. For dinner last night, Lesley warmed up a pot of her flavorful Japanese beef and squash stew. Because cancer surgery (thirty years ago) has constricted HG’s swallowing, Lesley adjusted HG’s steaming bowl of this comforting stew. HG has trouble swallowing meat so Lesley replaced the meat in HG’s bowl with slices of excellent semi-firm tofu (HG consumes this protein easily). A squirt of PEI hot sauce. Many glasses of red wine. Happy HG. This was followed by Bonne Maman chestnut puree topped with whipped cream. And, yes, more red wine. Thanks to Lesley, HG lives in a joyous comfort zone.
