Well, as much as it as I could. My husband and I have this thing we call “happy food face” that he gets when he eats something that he’s really wanted and it makes him happy. Well, today, I actually had happy food face. I had a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup.. I ate half the sandwich and a quarter of the bowl of soup. They were both incredibly delicious and the food made me so happy. I don’t remember liking food so much in a very long time.

That’s wonderful! I’m glad you’re giving read food a try again. Makes me want a Muenster grilled cheese sandwich on Rye. So good!

I am of the opinion that rye bread makes the best grilled cheese sandwich ever!

Such simple foods, yet to so many of us they are our favorites. Eating is a good sign that you are on the mend.

Happy food face is so cute and i love that you two have a name for it... Half a sandwich and a bit of soup still counts, ngl that sounds like a win, kinda gives me the warm fuzzies.
