Seaweed Paste

The food at the hospital where I stayed a week for treatment for my body's revenge on me for reaching middle age was actually uniformly good. The goods I didn't like were not the fault of the hospital, but me. Here is one such food: seaweed paste. From what I understand, it's used as a topping for rice. (I tend to prefer my rice plain.) Since this was only a condiment, there were many other things to eat in this particular meal. I tasted it and even though the food in the hospital is very mild and doesn't have much salt, it was still too salty for me...

 

A few weeks before I checked-in, the hospital gathered my dietary needs and likes and dislikes and only once was I served something that was on my "thank you but no thank you" list; it was umeboshi, or pickled plum. It was, however, in a separate container, so all I had to do was to not eat it.

 

Naomi visited every day and we soon developed a routine where she would show up a couple of hours before lunch, When lunch was served, we went to the lounge and ate there - I had the yummy (really!) hospital food and Naomi ate the food she brought with her.
