StephanieL Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thankfully, the one time I stayed in a hospital was only for an overnight--just long enough to get breakfast Jello. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maison Rustique Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Bruce, I hope you're OK--I didn't realize you were in the hospital! When I was a teenager, my husband-to-be (now ex) spent quite some time in the hospital. When he was critical, he got what we called "Dirt Soup" nearly every day. It was very thin (like water) and a yellowish-white color with a bit of grease floating on top. If you could make it down to the bottom of the bowl, there was a bit of brown stuff. No discernible flavor at all. We always asked, but no one could tell us what it was called. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tanabutler Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Bruce, I hope you feel better soon. Hospital food in Santa Cruz is (quel surprise) very innovative. The chef at Dominican Hospital (pretty much the only show in town unless you're having a baby or getting out-patient surgery) has his own garden project, and is serving all organic/sustainable meals to patients. He's a real ground-breaker. I'll be blogging about it soon, if the conditions are good. Just had a thought that you need a hospital like the one I was born in, in Alabama. An hour after I was born, my daddy was handing my mother BBQ and beer through the ground-floor window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
