This week's menu ran from Monday to Friday. On Monday we all had meatballs - Dad's adapted - Tuesday was chickpea curry, raita & papadums (us) and shepherd's pie (Dad). Wednesday was risotto all 'round - ours was lemon & feta and his was an experimental sausage version. Thursday and Friday were leftovers from Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
For lunch I made a beetroot and lemon soup. It lasted from Tuesday to Thursday (four large portions).
Successes?
Mum liked everything I made this week and Dad was keen on the meatballs and loved the soup.
Failures?
Well... Mum had a reaction to the papadums (her mouth started swelling up) so on Thursday she ate the curry with rice instead.
On Dad's front... he sulked. I don't know whether he genuinely didn't like the food or he didn't like eating separate meals (my mother's hypothesis). I was very careful not to put anything into the food he wouldn't eat - recipes to follow later - but that meant no onion, garlic or even seasoning. The shepherd's pie was 'okay' and he remained silent on the risotto although he isn't looking forward to eating it this evening. I gather that I put too much lemon flavouring in it for his liking - I didn't check it as I don't eat pork.
This week was far more painful than last week - and if I can remember what I made him then I'll make a post about that - possibly because he's realised this is not just a one-off. Vive la revolution!
