…but he wouldn’t eat it.
So? You’re not a short-order cook. When he’s hungry, he’ll eat.
Yeah, I got that attitude from 1poordad. He used to say that when I didn’t like something. “This is what is being served; if you don’t like it don’t eat.”
1poorlady would get me anything I wanted, but I’m trained (after growing up with that) to eat whatever is prepared. She’s not my maid-servant. She’s my wife. I realize he probably doesn’t have sufficient cognition to appreciate that. But, if he’s hungry he’ll eat. If he doesn’t eat, well there is the next meal.
P.S. Interested in what “Thai pork salad” is…sounds like something 1poorlady especially would like.
