Several, because we had traveled in some of the same circles.
I'd also met his wife a bunch of times but not any of the kids.

I'm afraid it's even worse than that, the big C or the big A

Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan
cat: low-cal, main
servings: 2

1 eggplant, sliced into 4 thick slices
- (about 3/4 of the eggplant)
1/3 c almond meal (just ground up raw almonds)
1/2 ts garlic powder
1 ts dried parsley
Sea salt
2 egg whites (or 1/4 c carton egg whites)
4 oz precooked chicken
1 c jarred marinara sauce (choose a low-fat, low-sodium kind)
4 Tb parmesan cheese, grated

This classic comfort food is often high in fat and calories
since the eggplant is typically dipped in bread crumbs,
then fried. Coated in almond meal, garlic powder, and egg
whites, this version is far more nutritious yet still
brimming with crunch and flavor.

Preheat oven to 350F. Sprinkle eggplant slices with sea
salt. Let sit for at least 20 min (up to 2 hr), so the
eggplant releases some water. Wipe with paper towel to
remove excess salt. You could probably skip this step
if you're in a rush. Dip eggplant in egg white and into
breading of almond meal, garlic powder. and parsley.
Repeat process for 4 slices of eggplant (or 2 slices if
you want to lower the fat in the recipe; in this case,
you'll only need 3 Tb of almond meal). Using a saute pan
at low to medium heat sprayed with cooking spray (don't
have it on high, or the almond meal will burn!), brown
both sides of the eggplant. Next, in a ovenproof bowl or
dish, place 1/4 c pasta sauce in the bottom of each bowl.
Then, place one slice of eggplant. Next, place 2 oz of
the cooked chicken. Then, top the chicken with another
1/4 c of pasta sauce. Finally, place the second piece
of eggplant on top, and top with Parmesan cheese. Place
in the oven (cover each dish with tin foil) and bake
15-20 min until the eggplant softens.
