我沒有離開你的愛
It turns out that The Pipster's "bad cold" was actually roseola aka sixth disease, a common and mild viral infection. She's got the rash all over now. I went to a walk-in clinic and got it confirmed. So it turns out for the best that we were hanging around at home and giving her lots of rest. She seems 80% back to normal now--a little more tired and perhaps a little clingier. She still has the rash all over her torso, but it's not itchy and doesn't bother her. More bothersome is the runny nose. I don't know if the runny nose is the virus itself or if she has a common cold comorbid.
I don't actually know if it's correct to use "comorbid" in that way but the alliteration pleased me.
A family member is having a St. Patrick's Day party and I want to bring some appropriate, fun dessert. I was thinking about making a rainbow fruit platter:
The "clouds" are either whipped cream or a white fruit dip (like made from yogurt or something).
Fruit ideas:
RED: strawberries
ORANGE: mango chunks
YELLOW: banana slices
GREEN: kiwi slices
BLUE/INDIGO/VIOLET: blueberries
I hate buying blueberries out of season because they're SO cheap during the summer around here. But I like blueberries much more than grapes. Also grapes are kind of expensive! They cost like $2/lb and they're heavy to boot.
As an aside, one of the things about fruit and vegetable shopping is that it isn't just the pure per weight cost that counts, but also how much a serving weighs. Like, the produce marts around here sell various hot chilies for around $2/lb, maybe more maybe less, but when I buy just 1-3 chilies, I might pay less then 10 cents, because they are so light. Oranges generally cost less per pound than apples, but I think a single apple generally weighs less than a single orange, so if a serving is one fruit then what's the comparative cost per serving? These are things to think about if you're trying to cut your produce bills.
Part of me would like to bake something, but this is probably healthier. Plus I don't have to get green food coloring, as most thematic St. Paddy's Day recipes require.
