[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 64713, member: 1721"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Shari</div><div class="ubbcode-body">When we lost dad suddenly this spring, we were inundated with sweet desserts and lunch meat. We had some one bring a large (actually, 2) beef roast with carrots, potatoes, and onions in a disposable tray. It was already cooked, just had to be heated, and was packaged such that we put the whole thing in the oven for an hour or so. When we finally wanted to eat, it was a very welcome dinner. We all got so tired of ham (tho don't get me wrong, we were glad to have anything we didn't have to "prepare" - those first few days are just awful - its hard enough to walk into the kitchen) Another favorite was the tater tot casserole. Another family gave us certificates for the local pizza joint, which we ended up using after visitation. It lasted 2 hours longer than scheduled and it was actually a fairly happy time, all dad's friends and family sharing good things - so we grabbed pizza on the way back to mom's (at 11 at night). The next week, a lady brought a huge pan of "maidrites" and hamburger buns. Maidrites are loose hamburgers, they're good, they're as fast as lunch meat (but aren't lunch meat), and easy. Bring a couple pounds of hamburger to boil in water, cook til crumbly and brown Drain water and fat add a can of chicken brother and boil til the liquid is gone Sounds silly, but they are veyr good (some recipes use Pepsi) And we were very thankful for the paper plates and plastic silverware that folks brought. </div></div> Thanks, Shari. DDD, that is a good idea, too. Donna, I haven't seen you around so much lately ~ nice to "see" you again! Thanks, guys! Barbara [/QUOTE]
