On Monday Anita gave him small slices of a child-sized cheese pizza for dinner and the next night she served him fried chicken tenders. She gave him miniature corn dogs with catsup for dinner on Wednesday evening. Howard never seemed to notice the lack of steak and potatoes in his meals. The physiological changes his body was undergoing had affected his tastes and he no longer had the craving for red meat that he had had the week before. He ate every meal with relish, smacking his lips unconsciously as he devoured the toddler’s fare. Anita’s meals remained much the same as they had always been, although she had begun privately experimenting with dishes that Howard had never liked or was too provincial to even try. She would start fixing his dinner the moment she came home and waited until he had gone to sleep to make her own dinner.
