When I grew up, we had roast beef every Sunday, fish and chips on Fridays and every other night was about the same every week. We ate a lot of vegetables out of cans through the winter. Cooking wasn't my mother's best attribute. After my dad's heart attack she stopped using salt. Our dinners were bland but reasonably healthy.
Other than Chinese Food take out, we never had any ethnic food. Cec and I have enjoyed authentic Italian (not Spaghetti-O's out of a can), Greek, Japanese, Thai, and especially Indian food.
My next door neighbour is a volunteer at Langley Hospice. On Tuesday's the former chef from Latitude Restaurant in Langley delivers dinners to Langley Hospice. She asked him if he delivered meals to people's home and in their conversation he told her he lives one block from us and would be glad to deliver to us. Nancy gave me last month's menu and on Tuesday we had their dinner delivered. Their son, Byron, a very nice clean cut Grade 9 student delivered our dinner! It was nicely packaged in containers. I put it in the fridge and reheated it at dinner time. It was delicious! As Nancy says, a day in the week we can stay home and don't have to cook! They deliver a three course meal, all home made. The pumpkin pie was the best I've ever tasted, even better than what I make, but that doesn't say much. I'm more likely to buy one from Costco.
