Hi Shawn,

 RH> Dad had to have his dessert--at luch, a cookie and piece of candy
 RH> would suffice. At supper, it had to be cake, pie or whatever, but

 SH> Reminds me of my Uncle who came here from Texas.  He was dirt poor
 SH> growing up and when he came to Canada for a better life and started
 SH> working he promised he'd never eat bread without jam again.

 SH> Ham sammich?  Jam.  Left over spaghetti sammich?  Jam on the bread.

 SH> Ham and Jam is pretty good, the rest of them....

Good for him! When Steve and I got married, I started making his lunch
for work, usually 2 some sort of meat sandwiches and dessert. One day he
asked why I didn't make any peanut butter sandwiches. I basically said
"I didn't know you liked it" so he let me know that yes, he liked it
very much. From then on, one sandwich was meat, one peanut butter. I
still don't like/eat peanut butter (haven't eaten it by choice since I
got out of high school) but I do buy it for Steve--and our girls when
they were home.

 SH>  SH>> Bob will try things, but when he doesn't finish we know it will
 SH>  SH>> rot in the fridge until I throw it away.
 RH> He doesn't go back and finish it off, I presume?

 SH> Nope.  Pasta in the fridge 2 weeks old he didn't like.  I just keep
 SH> moving it around, I'm no longer in charge of the kitchen so it's quite
 SH> easy for me.

Does he like it at 2 or 3 days old? If so, that's the time to serve it
so it doesn't get thrown out.


 RH> Mexican restaurants introduced me to--it has chicken, rice, zuchinni,
 RH> yellow squash and shrimp in it, with a cheese sauce. Not usually
 RH> something I'd have thought of as Mexican but it is good. (IMO)

 SH> Sounds good!

It is; it may have other things in it (maybe bell peppers) but right now
I'm not remembering. I don't order it all the time as there are other,
traditional Mexican dishes on the menu, but do enjoy it when I do. The
serving is good sized and with a decreased appetite, I generally bring
home enough for at least one, maybe 2 more meals.
