The menu can get to be monotonous if it is the same thing every day! All kids at the Children's Hospital eat for FREE...as long as they are admitted to the hospital. You can order breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks till 7 p.m. every day. The menu never changes. The portions remain the same. All pasta comes from a can....and the same with soups. As you can see when looking at the menu...its not really healthy! They serve kids french fries, poutine's...and cheeseburgers or chicken fingers...everything is breaded. The only thing that is healthy are the fruits they offer or the small salads and juice.Everything can get tiresome after awhile. The main goal of the hospital is to get kids to eat no matter what. When undergoing chemo...a child will lose their appetite....and the best way to encourage them to eat is to let them have hotdogs, cheeseburgers, pizza, chicken fingers, etc.
But Mr. T. is used to home cooking. He loves home-made soup, lasagna, chicken & mashed potato's, shepherd's pie and beef stew! And he loves fettucine alfredo! There is a Mr. Sub at the hospital...it serves submarine sandwiches and pizza 7 days a week till 11 p.m. They get their pizza from Pizza Pizza and their subs are inferior to Subway's but better than the children's menu. The hospital also has a cafeteria that is only open 5 days a week from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m...and every day they offer a salad bar....a main dish...(lasagna, spaghetti, chinese, stirfry, home-made soup, etc) and a dessert bar! So, of course Mr. T. prefers the cafeteria....and shuns the childre
n's menu!
n's menu! Mr. T. and I are not in agreement! I told him if he eats his breakfast and lunch on the kid's menu...I will buy his dinner! I will not budge! Mr. T. is very convincing...and headstrong..but so am I! "No can do"...said I!
Mr. T argued that he would 'die' eating hospital food (he says they getter better food in jail) little does he know 'he's right'....so far this morning he had 2 bagels with cream cheese and chocolate milk and for lunch he had (canned soup) yech! and grilled cheese, pudding and milk....and he is still breathing!!
If you click on the menu...you can see what's available!

A battle of wills and if yours, Mr. T, is anything near your grandmother's... I bet the entire staff is lined up on the sidelines waiting to see who gives first...
But, sometimes you actually can win by letting her win.
Just between you and me, Mr. T, I would let her win this battle and get the better food at night! That's the best meal, don't you think?
What happens if she changes strategy and decides you have to eat dinner and lunch from that children's menu and only get breakfast in the cafeteria?
Good luck to both of you in this contest of wills. I hope you both win.
Marcia,
Mr. T gives in...this battle won! as long as I promised to make his favorites at home!
Panzerotti's and cackalacky chicken!
