GG, that looks divine! I wish I could get Shrek interested in sushi...I hate going by myself.

Unfortunately, anything mushroomy makes me turn away, but I'd be interested to hear the results of your experiment.Timothy Leary - Turn on, tune in, drop out.
Just mushroom caps stuffed with some sausage and other odds and ends. I'm experimenting with freezing them so I can use a few at a time.

It was yummy!
Has he tried teriyaki or tempura? I sometimes get a tempura bento box with shrimp, veggies, and rice. It usually comes with a salad with ginger dressing. Might be able to substitute cucumber salad - I could eat a huge bowl of just that Or tonkatsu (fried pork with dipping sauce) and rice.
Funny you mention that. Our family has a similar tradition, but for us it's Christmas Eve. Several years ago, I was making a big Christmas dinner and didn't feel much like cooking the night before. So we got in the car and drove into St. Paul to grab a bite. You'd think that St. Paul, being a good sized city, would have many restaurant options. And it usually does. However, finding anything open that particular night was an exercise in futility.We decided to have a light dinner for Thanksgiving Eve so we went out for sushi. I had a lovely lychee martini to start, we shared apps of gyoza and cucumber salad, and each ordered a roll, which we also shared. This is going to become an annual tradition.
Our daughter, the lacto-fisho-eggo-tarian (or whatever she calls herself - the title changes from one day to the next ) asked if she could cook for us last night. Well, far be it from me to turn down a kitchen volunteer!
So she did the grocery shopping and made us a nice dinner of broiled fish, sautéed asparagus, and even gussied up the plate with a bit of garnish. For a 22-year-old college student, I think she did a good job. It was simple, but tasty.
Not only does that look delicious Steve, it says much about her thoughtfulness. "She did you proud" as my grandmother would say.
Not sure I understand why....the meal has more nutrients in it.At your Mum's age, Creative, she should be eating dessert first, before she's not hungry anymore.
Ah I see....the dessert is what she is most likely to finish. She never used to be a dessert type person - odd.I think PF was being humorous. Here, the dessert is usually the most anticipated part of the meal.
I see your point. Practically, in a hospital, that would not work since the dessert does not arrive until a while after the meal. So, if I did it as you suggest, the meal would be cold and even less appetising.She will eat more of what she likes and can taste, sweet sensation is the last to go. At some point quantity of food is more important than quality. Would you rather see her eat an entire dessert (and maybe a second) than two spoons of the entree then stop?
Unfortunately, I don't think it's an uncommon occurrence. When my father was in his final years, my wife took all of his medals from the second world war, and had them mounted in a nice wooden box. We took it up to him at the nursing home. Dad absolutely loved it. He kept the box in a dresser drawer....It comes to something don't you think - stealing from the defenseless, ill elderly patients? !
