The rain and storms are here. The cats are annoyed that I cannot turn it off. What with appointments and shopping yesterday, I was beat. I went to bed early, like 8:45. I heard the storms starting around 1:30 a.m. So, today I will do indoor stuff. Bob's favorite library opened back up, so he will read. I have several iron skillets in the oven, seasoning. For those who do not know, that is a process where you coat skillets with shortening and bake it in. It makes them easy to cook on and rust proof. I will cook some white beans up in a bit. I want some to go with sausages and some will go into a bean salad. That will make sure we have ready to eat meals for some more time. Yesterday at noon we went to a Perkin's Restaurant, in the town where the appointment was. I had a breakfast platter with strawberry crepes. Hubby had a seafood platter. They want him to gain weight. They say 5 meals a day. I am lucky if he eats 3. We made home made chef salads for our evening meal. They were very good. So, I may go plant a plant or two in the rain, because the thunder and lightning have stopped. I hope you have a great day.

5 meals a day is alot. I think. Hope he can gain the weight without too much issue.

It would be more like three meals and two snacks.

Feed him with food that can help to gain more weight, rice, pasta, a salad is not helping a lot.

He does not like rice or pasta. We eat a lot of potatoes. Bananas, grapes, sausages. He likes good bread.

@GardenGerty I love potatoes too and any kind of bread, I often make brad at home, cheese bread, bread with chives and dried tomatoes, bread with olives, I serve with cold meats.

My sister has lost 3 kgs (6.6 lb) in the time she's been home from hospital - barely two weeks. She is trying to eat extra small meals too.

He had gained a pound since we saw the cardiologist. It is better than losing.

@GardenGerty Double malt milkshakes are supposed to be loaded with calories.

It's easier to gain than to lose weight. Carbs can do it.

Nothing seems to do it for him.

It's hard to heard a seafood platter. Bob's eating reminds me of Amyra when she was a lot younger. They had to get her to eat a certain amount of calories a day, and they were desperate to do it. I remember they once bought her a hot fudge sundae (we were at a restaurant) in an attempt to get those calories in. You must be frustrated.

He is losing muscle, so he is losing weight. I think he is bored with home cooking.

Delicious meal. I think it is easier to gain weight so your hubby will have no problem with it.

He has had trouble due to some other illnesses for more than two years. When he is active and builds muscle he gains.
