Circumscribed

The thing about living with a valetudinarian as I do currently is that almost everything one cooks has a component or two that makes them fall sick.
I'm in a consistent state of raised eyebrows and flux when almost everything I have to offer on the menu is turned down citing odd ill effects of the concerned fruit, vegetable or grain on the health of person concerned.

Bananas and rice tend to make their joints swell. A condition that I'd never known about prior to yesterday and when the swollen fingers were shown to me as a proof of how the ingestion of rice led to the inevitable I couldn't for the life of me notice the difference.
They looked normal to me but I had observed similar such suspicions during prior visits to not argue and thusly kept quiet.

Similarly yogurt affects them with cold and cough, mangoes make their body ache, cauliflower leads to bloat and there might be some more malady providing ingredients that I shall slowly discover while my stay here.

The thing is that these over the top suspicions and notions extend not only to foods but overall life in general keeping them from experiencing anything that is new.

More about it soon.
