My dad is retired and lives alone. He tends to skip meals and eats crappy frozen dinners and the like when left alone. My diet however is mostly fruits and vegetables. I tend to cook using a lot of spices. My dad uses very little other then Salt and Pepper mostly. In fact he will salt things without even tasting them. I like Asian and Italian. He likes Friendlys.
He makes Pork Chops with Shake and bake in a pan. I make them with a Honey Mustard sauce on the grill. I like sweet Potato and Yams on the grill. He likes Mashed Potatoes with Butter and a ton of salt.
The thing he has me over on is Meatloaf. I love in all it's wondrous forms, Mushroom Gravy, Beef Gravy, Ketchup, or Cheddar cheese, no matter. He makes it out of Veal, Pork, Venison, and Beef. Sometimes with crackers, sometimes with Stuffing cubed stale white bread. It always turns out awesome no matter how he makes it.
The next day if he made enough I make a meatloaf sandwich out of the leftovers. I tend to rate meals on how I ride the next day. If I ride like crap and feel slow and sluggish I know that I haven't fueled up properly. After meatloaf I always have a good day.
So every Saturday I go to the Public Market and buy all my fruit and veggies. I have been stocking my Dads fridge every week. Most of it gets thrown out sadly.
Sharing our cooking and food resources has brought us together. Its all good.
