 RH> (Meals on Wheels)
 RH>> Yes, and if I can find out something, it's one less thing my younger
 RH>> brother will have to look into. He may have to set things up, being
 RH>> the local person tho.
 NB>> True, and probably true, although you might be able to do the set up,
 NB>> especially if you try it when you are there visiting...  :)

 RH> I looked on line, there is a program and it looks like my folks would
 RH> qualify for it. Suggested donation of $3./per meal and a
 RH> representative comes to the home to do an initial set up (probably to
 RH> go over food preferences, etc) before the first delivery. The thing is,
 RH> tho, do Mom & Dad want to participate? I think Mom might be more
 RH> amenable to it than Dad. 

He might see the wisdom in it now...  it might help if you and/or your
brother were there for that initial set-up interview...  And if the rep
can reassure him that the food can be sufficiently bland and boring. [g] 

 RH> Talked to her briefly for her birthday (84)
 RH> yesterday but we were almost the middle of nowhere so didn't want to
 RH> risk dropping the call. She was able to stay pretty much on topic but
 RH> since we didn't talk for long, it made things easier.

Happy birthday to your mom...  :)
 
 RH>> Yes, and now that I cook diabetic for myself, I can do meals that way
 RH>> for my folks that would be much better than the way they eat cooking
 RH>> for themselves.
 
 RH> I'll have to go thru my cook books, etc when we get home and figure
 RH> out what can be adapted, what can be cooked without adaptation, and so
 RH> forth. I made a white chili for our life group a couple of months ago;
 RH> got the recipe from a diabetes magazine and not a bit came home. That
 RH> might work, especially if I make sure it's not very spicy.
 
Another lovely creative project to occupy you...  ;)  

 NB>  NB>>> ... Combining scallops and butter is basically never a bad
 NB> idea.  RH>> Sounds like a very good idea to me. (G)
 NB>  NB>> To me, too... :)
 NB>  RH>> Where should we go for them--and when?
 RH>> Have to figure out when we'll be able to get together again. We've
 RH>> also got to plan that meal at Alfano's too.
 NB>> I remember that they are Italian... do they do good seafood too
 NB>> perhaps...?   When you next are up to visit Steve's family, we might
 NB>> be able to do it...  ;)

 RH> IIRC, they don't do seafood like that, fish fry is about as sea
 RH> food-ish as they go. But, lots of good Italian food. We took several
 RH> boxes home. (G)

Guess I'll have to try to keep my eyes and ears open for new places up
here, then... :)  There used to be good seafood places, but the ones I
knew about are long gone now...
