pureed feast

Nov 22

pureed feast

after a week of not being able

to swallow or eat

my Robyn grinned

at being handed a hospital menu

of puree choices

she ordered

smiled broadly as the tray

was set before her:

pureed fish, carrots, pears

tomato soup, pudding and biscuit

each swallow was deliberate

but tasted, oh, so good

R’s comment on the pureed biscuit: “It tasted the way I imagine French toast would taste if it were a puddle.”
