gas station beef sticks
best before 2031 …
Well, I will save one …
My son who lives with us here in the beautiful low country of South Carolina is recovering from a terrible bout of pancreatitis.
Since the onset of this malady he has lost 50 pounds and we struggle with him to balance out a diet that is both diabetic friendly as well gastro-enterology friendly.
A lot of the recommendations are contradictory.
Can’t eat that.
Don’t eat this.
Avoid anything with these.
On top of that, he just doesn’t feel hungry and has a heightened sense of smell.
So what to do?
We have more or less boiled all the options down to the effort to get weight back on the boy and if he will eat it and he can keep it down, it’s all good.
Just this week he has been out and about in his car for the first time in months and rediscovering all his old drive-thru friends.
All good.
Even though it was this diet that most likely caused all this off in the first place, it’s all good.
Get the boy to eat.
Today he came home with a bag of gas station food.
Looking over his purchases, I took out one of his ‘beef sticks’ and noted that the expiration or best-if-used by date was in 2031.
“Well”, he said, “I will save one.”
