Today is Day 356 of my Daily Food Diary. 💝 Just nine more days – 2025 and my Daily Food Diary will be a wrap!
I do plan to continue daily posting – focusing on calories used rather than consumed. It will be a bit challenging until I am fully healed, but that is coming along nicely. By the end of 2026 I will be mentally, physically, and emotionally stronger than ever – and it will be reflected in my Daily Fitness Blog.
My wins of the day since yesterday’s posting:
1) Making desert with son Dan. It was a bit of a production but a great bonding experience and just a good time all around.
2) Chinese food for supper from the Unicorn Restaurant. I love their food, they have a variety of gluten free dishes for Amanda, and cleaning up was minimal.
3) Having Jen and her girls (and Sasha the dog) come for desert and an evening of visiting. For those of us that come together, it is nice to be past the years of drama – to be able to spend an evening together and be comfortable in the process.
The bonus win was the deserts we shared – the one Dan and I made, the ones Dan and Amanda brought, and the ones I made.
My Daily Food Diary win for the day:
Being able to focus on eliminating food allergies and intolerances not just for myself but for everyone in the family, when we get together. With a little planning and communication, we accommodate as necessary!

Thank you, Carol anne! I love good oriental food. Here it has a tendency to be really salty at a lot of the restaurants. 🫠

It’s definitely a challenge to prepare meals for various dietary needs. It sounds like you’re acing that, Anne! I’ve never heard of that restaurant, so thanks for the recommendation. When hubs and I lived in Regina for a bit right after we were married … we ordered from Enjoy Gardens. At that time it was prepared and served out of a little wartime house on Vic and it was excellent! They later moved to a restaurant on Albert, and although still good, it was somehow different from the food served out of the house. Maybe the latter was more authentic. Thanks for bringing those memories up for me through your post and Happy Christmas Eve- Eve Anne!!

Thank you, Terry. Peking House is also amazing – but more as an eat in experience. We used to meet my sister Lorraine and her husband there whenever they passed through. Dietary needs are getting harder to meet all the time – more allergies and intolerances and more severe. Happy Christmas Eve!🎄
