March 27, 2026 Breakfast - Mackerel, onion, cabbage, and poblano Omelet. Lunch - Chicken Sandwich   Dinner - Oysters and Sautéed Shrimp in Garlic butter (Gambas con Ajo) and Orzo Salad

The new mantra is lots of snacks.  I started with a latte Macchiato at 7:00.

Then at 8:30 I made an omelet with small amounts of red cabbage, onion, poblano chili, and the leftover mackerel from last night’s dinner and two whisked eggs.

After I ate the omelet I toasted two slices of baguette and spread 5hem with butter and French Berry Jam.

Then around 11:00 I toasted a slice of baguette and spread peanut butter and honey on it.

I then packed the two uneaten chicken sandwiches from yesterday’s lunch and a bag of red grapes and drove to dialysis with Sense and Sensibility and a Rex Stout novel newly loaded onto my I Pad.

The time went quickly today reading Sense and Sensibilty and talking to Jody the dietitian and eating grapes and one of the chicken sandwiches.. Actually I began clotting at the three hour mark and they took me off the machine.

I stopped at Lowe’s on the way home and bought three avocados, a gallon of milk, red beets, a sweet potato, two turnips, beautiful small Brussels sprouts, and chicken thighs. The plan was to fix baked chicken and roasted root vegetables.

When I got home at 4:30 I was tired but had taken a sugar pill to keep going.  I ate the other chicken sandwiches from yesterday’s while Suzette ate pistachios in front of the TV.

Then we called Whole Foods and ordered 3 dozen oysters on the half shell.

At 5:45 we drove to Whole Foods and picked up the oysters plus a bunch of green onion, a head of Butter lettuce, a small container of orzo, feta, olive, and spinach salad, carrots, and a stem of tomatoes.

When we returned home Suzette thawed some shrimp and I minced 4 cloves of garlic and some red onion that Suzette sautéed with the shrimp. Suzette also made a cocktail dipping sauce with catsup, horseradish, and lemon.

Suzette also fetched a chilled bottle of Faustino Ulcea Albariño from the fridge and we had a lovely dinner, although some of the shrimp were freezer burned.

I drank 1/2 glass of wine and enjoyed it better than the Pinot Gris and Sauvignon blanc we drank recently.

The Misty Point oysters were our favorites tonight. We did not like the Olde Salt and Moondancer oysters.

We then watched “Rumor has it” on Netflix. 

Suzette went to bed at 9:15 and I stayed up until 12:00 to watch a 2026 Swedish movie titled Swedish Connection about how Swedish diplomats saved about 100:000 Danish Jews and then drafted my blog for today.
