all about waiting…..
we moved Fredrick to a bigger tank today. It’s only 1/2 gallon-but he’s not gonna get that big. The next few days will be the waiting game- to see if he lives or not. His tail is almost gone-now. He seems to like his tank. I had a treasure chest in there with him- but it kept tipping over. So I took it out until I can somehow get it weighted down. I know, I know, I’m obsessing over this little frog. But i can’t help it.
I had the best dinner tonight. Black beans in a low carb tortilla with fresh tomatoes and onions. OH so good. MMMM the beans were seasoned so well. If I could still eat just steak but call myself a vegetarian I would. My doctor, husband, and friends don’t think it’s a good thing for me to give up meat with my anemia situation. I am searching for a cast iron dutch oven to cook in. that’s supposed to help. I don’t know how or why. I still can’t tolerate the iron pills. They make me vomit no matter the dosage.
ANyway, if Fredrick is alive tomorrow morning- it’s one step closer to him living. Go Fredrick, go Fredrick, go Fredrick!!!

Acidic foods actually absorb the iron from cast iron cookware — and, quite significantly too! So cooking tomato based sauces in cast iron is very iron rich!! Add more spinach to your diet too, like in your salads. I use spinach in my wraps instead of lettuce. And I’d stick with the meat as well.

Ah… that makes sense. I eat spinach at just about every meal-more than I do actual lettuce. Hey if it works for Popeye…
I’m gonna stick with the meat. I’m just not big on chicken or pork or fatty beef.
Thanks for the advice!
