Ärende: Dad's eats
==================
Hi Nancy,


 RH> I think he has a few times, when it's worked out with his physical
 RH> therapy schedule.  He can't do it all the time since he's not driving.

 NB> He might be able to get rides to do it fairly often... just need to
 NB> let people know that that's one of his needs/wants...  :)

He should, but whether he would or not is a different question.


 RH> Hopefully when we go up in July we can cook some basics to put
 RH> in the freezer. Then he'll just have to heat them and add a
 RH> simple side or two.

 NB> And you might be able to cook up some sides for him to add... or
 NB> package them together to make it easy...

He likes potatoes and a vegetable, Mom usually did mashed potatoes but
Dad mentioned making "home fries" several times when we talked with him
last summer. I've baked several potatoes and put them in the fridge or
freezer at times for us, baked can be cubed and fried quickly if he
wanted to go that way.

 RH> If he'd get over the idea he has to have potatoes and would go for
 RH> rice as a change off, that would be easier for him. He could cook a
 RH> couple of cups and put portions in the freezer or keep the whole bowl
 RH> in the fridge, taking out what he wants. But, he'd rather have the
 RH> potatoes; I'm not going to argue that point but just cook alternatives
 RH> while we're there. (G)

 NB> One can make up larger portions of potatoes, too, and save some for
 NB> later use... same as the rice... One can buy frozen french fries and
 NB> other potato things, after all...  :)

I know, but how well do mashed potatoes keep in the fridge or can they
be frozen? I think he likes them the best.

 NB>  NB>> probably find other things to do around the house to fill
 NB> time...  NB>> like dealing with his train collection...  ;)

 RH> That is being worked on between Dad and my brother.

 NB> As I said, another house project...  :)

My brother will be working on closing my aunt's apartment this month,
then going to Scout camp for several weeks. Dad will have the time to
work on his trains, maybe do some removal of old magazines, etc. My
brother won't let him mow the yard or do anything like that but I think
a small garden will be put in. That'll give him something else to putter
in.

 NB>  NB>> ... Fruit tags would be grapely apricoted.

 RH> As long as they're properly apple-ied..................

 NB> Pears so...  ;)

Makes everything just peachy keen.
