They're clearly not destroying his health (although it would be nice if he were more regular, but what are you gonna do).
It sounds like focusing on just getting more fiber in his diet would be a good start. And if that makes him happier, then maybe he'd be willing to branch out a tiny bit more.
shakes my fist at cheap airfares. I paid way more than I wanted to for mac and my summer vacation tix.
I bought a bag of baby carrots and looked up recipes for glazed carrots. I will probably actually eat some of them by the end of the week. I need to remember that butter is tasty and is useful for cooking things.
Metamucil and apple sauce sounds like death by a 1000 cuts to me.
And that's a whole separate issue -- he REALLY shouldn't still be living alone
This sounds like the real issue to me, although I admit I don't know your SIL, but her reaction sounds like guilt to me. As you've pointed out, his eating may not be perfect, but it's fine. And whose eating is perfect anyway?
I can't get into Southwest right now. too many people trying for cheap tickets.
My mom loves applesauce, hates Metamucil, so it works!
Connie, carrots, butter, bourbon and brown sugar. Nom!
Southwest booking has been down for at least 3 hrs.
WOO! WOO! WOO! Okay, no more hockey until Saturday. Holy crap.
Connie, carrots, butter, bourbon and brown sugar. Nom!
Bourbon makes everything better.

Oh, it 100% is. The problem with him being an autonomous adult is that he's resistant to moving to a care facility, so unless he's incapacitated, whether mentally or physically, he's staying put in his house. So we have to work with that, which means frozen dinners.
And I've posted about pancakes so much that now I REALLY want blueberry pancakes. I have both pancake mix AND blueberries...but it's 11 p.m., so I think I'll pass on the pancakes for tonight. But soon, man. SOON.
Virgin America to the rescue! Their price to LA was the same as the lowest price mentioned on Southwest, and the site actually worked.
