My in-laws are the same way, and they frequently make menu requests
(which get politely ignored) before they come.
What's nice and elegant for us is at best unusual and bizarre for them.
They're happiest with roast chicken, --oh, okay, I smear it with a
little rosemary, garlic and lemon, but that's it--creamed potatoes,
a hot vegetable and a green salad with everything chopped into small
dice. They request Catalina dressing for the salad and milk to drink.
If I really want to please them, I do something like angel biscuits
and warm homemade applesauce.

| 3219.5 | Some ideas | TNPUBS::STEINHART | | Thu Sep 12 1991 12:31 | 23 |
| How about marinating the meat and grilling it with an interesting sauce
on the side? For instance, flank steak marinated in red wine vinegar,
olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. You could serve it with a beef gravy
made to your taste, or maybe a tart cranberry relish, since its autumn
(for you).
Another option - cooking individual portions in packages of aluminum
foil. Those you eat can have sauces cooked with them, those for your
in-laws can be cooked plain. For example, salmon with mayo and mustard
for you, salmon with just butter for them.
For appetizers, how about an antipasto platter. Include some things
you know they'd eat, such as American cheese, celery stalks, cherry
tomatos, and salami. For you, there is a wide range of marinated
Italian vegetables in jars, special cheeses, stuffed artichoke hearts
(in quarters), etc.
You can cook a roast chicken with a special stuffing for you, and
mashed potatos for everybody.
Best of luck for an enjoyable visit,
(hope the food doesn't becomae an issue)

| What my father-in-law would have enjoyed (he passed away just
last year this time):
Pot roast
Homemade made mashed potatoes
Lots of gravy
Carrots
Green veg or salad
and homemade apple pie with ice cream
Very plain but good stuff
Enjoy your visit.

How about a "Traditional New England Boiled Dinner"? It is the time of
year for it too!

| 3219.11 | Relax while it cooks! | CGHUB::OBRIEN | Yabba Dabba DOO | Fri Sep 13 1991 18:10 | 7 |
| Do a "bag" dinner. Use the Reynolds bag, dump your meat, red potatos,
red onions, mushrooms, and lots of carrots with a beef boullion (sp)
cube, and cup of water. Do a loaf of crusty bread and a garden salad.
This way here you can enjoy your company, you only have one pan to
clean, your mother-in-law won't feel obligated to help you "do the
dishes". Apple Pie or Apple Crisp for dessert.

Wow! all these ideas are great. I will have three meals to
prepare, one or two lunches and breakfast as well. You've given
me a number of excellant choices!
Many Thanks!
I'm sure the in-laws will enjoy their stay! Now, off to the NH
notes for suggestions on where we might take them Saturday in
the Peterborough area! thanks again.

| Now is a good time for lobster, if you think they might like it.
Something that looks a lot fancier than it really is -- cornish hens.
I seem to remember a recipe in this file with some wonderful stuffings.
The cranberry harvest is in so that would be appropriate to the season
and the region. Apple pie, dumplings or crisp are good too and in
season as well.
Best luck,
Judy
