My Dad really liked the new peach flavored kind of Ensure, he couldn’t stand the other flavors, but peach was hard to get. What kept him going for his final year, though, was a daily real vanilla malt and a drive to the burger place drivethru to get it, and often his appetite would improve enough on the way that he’d want a burger to; he liked Frisco Melts. Not cheap, but worth it. The managers and employees at both Dairy Queen and Steak n Shake were sweet, they often slipped extra cherries into his malt for him, which they fixed when they spotted us coming.
My Dad loved his Vanilla milkshakes! I’m sorry you lost him. I lost my Dad last January 26th. He could no longer eat due to colon cancer.
