Ah yes, the hospital food

How did I go this long without commenting on the food. You know you're in a huge place when they tell you that it's too late to order a particular breakfast for the next day at 2:00PM the day before. Not ordering yields a random assortment of meal-like stuff. That's the ticket on the right with a randomly selected breakfast.
I think my favorite part of the meal ticket is the 1 PKT GRAY DIET KIT - JR**.  That comes with every meal and contains a straw, napkin, and gray(!) plasticware. So little of this gets consumed that I've pretty much stopped ordering anything for Ronnie and try to make sure that at least one thing that I might eat shows up. From that breakfast I ate the turkey sausage. I always circle the peanut butter so that I can eat it with the WHEAT DINNER ROLL**. Also always get milk for my cereal and coffee, and Ronnie does eat some Cheerios, though I'm going to get her some other kind of cereal later today.

The food in the cafeteria (that's what they call it- it's essentially just a long line of people with food and beverage choices to your left and right as you walk through- no place to sit) is not all bad. They have good coffee and I had an okay fruit salad and yogurt with granola this morning. That stuff is salad bar style, where you pay by the pound. A lot of the staffers eat pizza from there, but I tend to go for the real pizza at Slice On Amsterdam when I want some of that. 

Plenty more cafeminutia to be had, but I'll give it a rest. I've heard you can order room service kind of food, and once Ronnie gets her appetite back, we might do that.
