Joe's Chemo Crunch

So I'm not much of a breakfast guy, but these days, I need to quickly gobble something fairly substantial along with the steroids. Later on, Hobbit-like, I tend to have second breakfast, but in case you have any interest, here's the formulary for a bowl of gunk that seems to buffer Dexamethasone pretty effectively.

  • 1 cup of some kind of sugar-free oat Os. Doesn't matter which one.
  • 1 handful dark raisins
  • 2 dried apricots, chopped
  • 2 tbsp salted cashews
  • 1 or 2 large strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • milk to taste

Mix; share bites with dog. Drink most of remaining milk. Allow dog to lick bowl.
