4 years ago I asked my elderly parents what they’d had for supper. Mom replied “and egg sandwich”. I said “that’s what you had last night”. Then I asked how many nights in the last two weeks they’d had the same thing. She said “I think most of those nights”. So for Christmas I’ve been preparing and freezing meals for them. About 30 meals. And she has them gone by mid-February. Partly it’s because of will to want to cook and partly it’s because they can’t think of anything to fix. THIS YEAR, I’m selling my restaurant (Ponderosa Steakhouse – last one in Illinois). She LOVES the vegetable soup we serve there. They won’t pay to eat there and I let them eat for free, so she’s been bemoaning the fact that she won’t get that soup anymore after the first of the year. So my husband and I made a batch at home and I canned it for her. It made 22 quarts! I’m excited to give these to her. (Plus the 30 freezer meals)
