She is supposed to start eating again but doesn't want

Reminds me of my last stay in a hospital. After I checked
in, they brought me the default white-on-white meal, then
brought me a menu to select food for tomorrow. I just
naturally picked the spiciest options.
Then they brought me *that* tray just as I was coming out of
the anesthetic. After I waved it away, I realized that
there was a glass of juice on the tray and grabbed it; the
orderly gave me the dish of jello too, and I did eat it.
So the next day, when I hadn't eaten in days, they brought
what I'd chosen the day before: one banana.
Of late I've been making desserts with plain gelatin and
fruit-juice concentrate: pour a can of frozen fruit juice
into a pan, sprinkle with gelatin, wait ten minutes, heat
until the gelatin dissolves.
Seems to me that by using reconstituted fruit juice, and
floating soft fruit such as pears canned in pear juice in
it, you could make inoffensive snacks. Double up on the
gelatin, and it can sit around at room temperature until she
feels like taking a bite.
But with any luck, it's much too late for this recipe.

where there's another fresh layer of snow on the ground.
I wonder whether this one will stick around for a while.
