I escaped from the hospital yesterday. I would have shown you a photo of some of my hospital food but I didn't want to depress everyone(like it depressed me).
Forward to the meal planning!
This is what was planned for last week...........
1. Sunday--No Clue
2. Monday--No Clue
3. Tuesday--No Clue
4. Wednesday--No Clue
5. Thursday--No Clue
6. Friday--No Clue
7. Saturday--No Clue
Frankly, I was in the hands of the Dietary/Kitchen staff at the Rehab Hospital. What was on the menu they were suppose to give me almost never matched what showed up on my dinner slip or the actual food on my tray.
And here's what actually happened....
1. Sunday--Meatloaf, PEAS and Carrots, Mac & Cheese, Sugar-Free Cake(I ate the Meatloaf and picked out the Carrots)
2. Monday--baked Chicken with some sort of BBQ glaze on it, a pile of Crowder Pea with 4 pieces of Green Beans in them, a Sweet Potato(I ate 1 piece of Chicken, the 4 Green Beans pieces and the Sweet Potato)
3. Tuesday--Salmon, Grilled Asparagus, a big pile of Rice Pilaf, 3/4 of an Orange(I ate the Salmon and the Asparagus)
4. Wednesday--Beef Pot Roast, steamed Carrots, Mashed Cauliflower with Gravy, sugar-free "red flavor" fake Jello(I picked out the pieces of Beef and ate the carrots too)
5. Thursday--I asked for a Baked Sweet Potato but they gave me a reg. Baked Potato and a pile of leftover mixed Veggies(Hubs brought me something to eat but I don't remember what)
6. Friday--Chicken Pot Pie chalk full of carrots and PEAS!, mushy Broccoli(I ate muffalleta Pizza Hubs brought me and the Broccoli)
7. Saturday--what they called Chicken Fajita(it was not), Refried Beans(it was not) and Corn(I ate a Chik-fil-A Sandwich and a side Salad)
When I left Sunday they kept telling to leave a review but honestly, I doubt they want a review of their food service. ;-)
