That ice cream maker looks cool, though!

I have a similar one and its been a lot of fun. Maybe you could forget the boost and just experiment with high-calorie high-nutrition ice cream. Use Fairlife and Greek Yogurt and Avocados and the like.

Looks like high calorie hummus and high calorie oatmeal are also vegetarian friendly "things" with a bunch of recipes. And there's vegetarian collagen now made with eggshell membranes [link]

Maybe you have a temporary "nagging" license. Like, officially state that when it comes to caloric intake for the next X weeks you get to be a bit intense. His appetite is shot. Arguably, making up that gap for a spell is part of the "in sickness" aspect of the gig.

We do have Fairlife milk (which was initially in the fridge for me, in an attempt to get more protein in my diet while on Zepbound) and Greek yogurt. We do have a shortage of avocados, but I know TJs sells frozen sliced (or halved) avocados that would be easy to throw into smoothies.

Yeah, I'm thinking I have to throw my general non-interventionist policy* out the window and keep up the nagging about getting the calories in. (All I can picture now is Mrs. Santa Claus telling Skinny Santa that he needs to eat in...I think it was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Eat, papa, eat!)

*(My non-interventionist policy extends to buying yet more shoes, bringing home tools and machine parts for purposes unspecified, and rigging up "more efficient" ways to [fill in the blank]. But when it comes to his physical well-being, I guess I can bust out the strongarm.)

I'm gonna say encouraging self-care is an ok encroachment of the general non-interventionist policy in this case

Also wanted to mention that my new glasses (a) are apparently Lisa Loeb's brand, who knew that was a thing? But I can kind of see it. She always had great glasses in her videos back int he day and (b) come in a lavender case which I am dispropotionately excited about because (i) I will be able to tell it from the black identically shaped case all my past and current other glasses seem to have come in and (ii) it should be way easier to see in my backpack or wherever than the aforementioned black cases which might as well be invisible much of the time

Always admired the way Lisa Loeb wore her glasses. Trying to get fired up for a local phone bank, but I've had some ups and downs today.

The bad: my flight from Hartford was delayed. The good: my connection was also delayed so I didn’t have to run across the whole freaking airport The bad: there’s a bunch of luggage but not a bunch of people so they made us all move to the back of the plane, which is obnoxious

Huh. I did not know making everyone move to the back of the place was a thing that happened.

Neither did I, and it would make me nervous! And I'm not a nervous flyer.

My brain has dredged up (or possibly manufactured, hard to say) a memory of Pop Up video telling me that Lisa Loeb and I share a birthday. I wanna say she's maybe a year older than me? I hope that's true but I don't think I will check, at least not right now
