Irresistible Foods

I want to keep Sarge eating with enthusiasm as long as possible. Daphne, my picky eater, too.

Sarge's favorite book of recipes

With that in mind, here is my list of irresistible foods:

  • Appetizer: Vanilla Ensure and a Pepcid
  • Rotisserie chicken (skin removed)
  • Hebrew National Weiners
  • Ground beef
  • Wendy’s Jr. burger (minus bread and condiments)
  • Cheez Wiz
  • Turkey, ham, etc. lunch meat
  • Marshmallows
  • Soft cream cheese
  • Baby food – meats and vegetables
  • Hills A/D diet
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • Lifesaving Meatballs (see below)

2 lbs. raw hamburger or ground turkey, the cheaper and fattier the better
3-4 raw eggs
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup Karo corn syrup
1 cup wheat germ or oatmeal

Dump it all into a large bowl and mix together with your hands or wooden spoon. Form into balls about the size of a Ping-Pong ball.  Freeze the meatballs on a cookie sheet and then store the frozen balls in a zip lock bag. Microwave the desired number of meatballs as needed. Cool before serving.

Blessing of the Animals

On Saturday, Sarge and Daphne took part in the blessing of the animals at my church, Lutheran Church of the Redeemer.

I told Pastor Tim that Sarge had lymphoma, and he gave Sarge an extra blessing for healing.

We want to turbo-charge Sarge’s chemo treatments and keep Daphne from getting sick…ever!
