Thanks Sanne, no lactose issues here but he doen't like yogurt very
much. No grapefruit (one of his medications, I forget which) but he's
got lots of tangerines.

Rice gruel is a definate so thanks for the reminder! It's made a
little different here from where you are (congee, Juk are close enough
to get a feel for it) but close enough to be similar. Main difference
is ours is made with dashi (fish and seaweed broth). Good idea and
I'll setup the rice maker with it ready to go in the morning. I'll make
up the dashi for him and measure the rice to a side bowl then a
container of the goodies (frozen oyster meats, peeled shrimp, bits of
cabbage, mushroom bits, a little white from a leek, small cuts of
carrot for color). Basically add a raw egg to the steaming bowl at
serving and wait for a minute or so then dig in.

So today he's been munching out on the butterbeans (one of his
favorites), had a little sashimi (tuna, properly commercially frozen),
a small portion of ham hock and some brussells sprouts. He's allowed 4
TB BBQ pulled pork a day. I'm such a meanie!

The nurse called and approved highly of the diet. I'll loosen it up a
bit once his gizzards start pooping normally.

Tomorrow night (if I get off in time, yes, have to go back to work), I
have a particular 'odd but he likes it' pizza in mind. No cheese is
needed (or desired). It's a seafood one with a white-sauce base and
lots of savory hints plus chopped crunchy bits of daikon. I have just
the right amount of leftover kimchee (mild) flavored sprouts for it.
Goatfish will be the main meat component.
