Daily Food Diary – Day 325 of 365

Today is Day 325 of my Daily Food Diary.  🥳

It is hard to believe that 2026 is only 40 days away, compared to the 325 that have passed by this year. 

Last night’s supper probably wouldn’t set any records for nutritional standards but it was amazing.  When Dan and I both worked we would often get takeout, eat out, or pick up something pre-made from our Safeway down the street.  One of my favorites was the  Safeway seafood dip – a concoction of cream cheese, crab, seafood sauce, shredded cheddar, with a sprinkling of green onions, green pepper, and tomato. Shortly before I retired, Safeway became Freshco and they no longer carried our seafood dip.   I gradually forgot about it, but yesterday afternoon my memory was jogged. Dan set out on a mission to one of the very few Safeway stores left in the city.  He returned with the seafood dip and a package of Tostitos Dippers.  Usually stepping back into time to enjoy a particular meal ends in  disappointment.  That was not the case last night!  It is not something that will make it’s way onto our regular meal rotation, but definitely worth it for the rare or occasional treat.

Today, I joined Dan and Molly on their morning walk.  There were still frosty (slippery)  patches along the way, so I soon decided that I was not comfortable holding onto a 100+ pound dog who zigs and zags, stops and pulls, along the way.   Dan took her leash.  But, I did have wins along the way.   My coughing fits were few and far between – far enough that Dan stopped a few times to look back to see if I was still with them. 😁

I am not there yet, but I can actually imagine a time when this miserable cough will be a thing of the past. 🤗
