I was late to my therapist for the second time in two weeks. She's going to try to get me a later appointment.
Why was I late? Because I had to have a conference with Michelle the nurse about Mendy's new diet. Which starts tomorrow,and which, among other things, entails me making desserts.
I don't do desserts. I don't bake and I don't do sweet very often. We tried googling things, but the only one that worked for both of us was a bread pudding, which actually sounded lovely. I do want what I make to have some nutrition too, like a carrot cake or an applesauce cake. He should have pleasant carbs but he also should get value for it.
I do love that I'm involved in this and that I'm trusted for this.
Anyway, I bought a diabetic dessert cookbook and we'll see what works.
In other news, the cleaning lady found my MOUSE - my wonderful wireless optical laptop mouse with the tiny little dongle, the one that works just fine on my bed. I've been using the glidepad for the past two weeks. I feel like I've been reprieved.

Last few days
Can you use a bread that's whole wheat or even Ezekiel Bread to make bread pudding? I can't improvise with this at all. Mendy's blood sugar is not under control at all, so we have to keep track of every carbohydrate unit, even if we're increasing them. So I have to follow this recipe to the letter. Can I rec: baked apple w/brown sugar Splenda? It's amazing. If fats aren't an issue, you can add a pat of margarine or butter to the cored middle and make it even better. :) Raisins in the middle are good, too. |
