i did that for my dad. while mom was alive, i would deliberately make "too much" several times a week, and put it in the freezer for them. after mom passed, my daughters helped step in to keep dad in the family home. eldest went with her three sons on sunday, and while she is not a cook, they would spend the day with great grandpa. he loved watching her boys grow. middle kid would go two nights a week with her new hubby, and cook supper--again, making a little too much. (when her daughter was born, great grandpa was the first to hold her, after her mom and dad. she was named after great-grandpa's mother--amalia) i went at least twice a week, and would make the old things mom used to make for him. at our home, i would save the bits and pieces from our meals, and make t.v. dinners for him. he outlived mom by 6 years, and was surrounded by family that loved him. we were so fortunate to have him until he was 90. and mom used to say that it really didn't take much to keep older folks in their own environment--just a little TLC. thank you for sharing this--i think we all need to remember that what doesn't seem like much to us can be the world to someone else.

Thanks for sharing this wonder story. Made me think.

This is such a sweet and kind story. Bless that friend of yours. I sure hope someone like that thinks of me that way when I am too old to take care of the basic things in life, like cooking a meal for myself. I never have and never will throw out food in my fridge unless it does have fuzzy things growing on, besides everything seems to get eaten up around here fairly quickly. or it gets thrown in the crock pot for stone soup.

What a wonderful thing you have done. Last Thanksgiving we spent at my sons hom. When we ready to eat. he filled a large plate and said I'll be right back. He took it across the road to an eldery lady who had a bad stroke. No family. She loved the time he shared with her and the delicious home cooked meal. You never are to busy to ease someones lonliness, or hunger. Your story made me think . Thank You.

I'm old-fashioned, but my mom always said, "A wasteful wife can throw more out the back door with a teaspoon, than a husband can bring in the front door with a shovel!" We are a wasteful people--except for us quilters!
