Title: Single Dads
Post by: Princess L on May 12, 2013, 03:25:26 PM
Your 14 year old child has recently died.   :'(   Food and cooking is the last thing on your mind.  What would you appreciate having ready to heat and serve?

The father will most likely not have an appetite due to the initial depression that sets in, but if I had to guess, I'd say he would probably appreciate eating one of the meals that he and his 14 year old would often share (almost in honor of the child, as to show that they continue to live on in his heart and mind).

Something that goes well with a good wine.  Trust me, he's going to want a drink.

Quite the opposite.....why would he want something to remind him of something he just lost.

Mac N Cheese........easy to make, quick to serve, and lots of calories which he'll need as he's not going to be eating much due to the stress.

He will only eat sparingly at this point. Anything to keep him moving. He wont care what it is.

Because it is probably one of the few things that can still keep their memory alive.

When I was a young man (late teens), my father and I used to go to Washington Square Park (in New York City) to play chess with random NYU students, local Russians and even bums). Even after his death, I would often go to play chess with random strangers. Although, he was gone at that point, I would often feel as if he was still there over my shoulder, leaning in and whispering, "That was a stupid move you fool".

The memory of him is always amplified while playing there or even by walking past that park.

Keep their memory alive, they will forever be a staple of your life regardless of their passing.

That is kinda true, I eat a lot more carb junk when down. Especially if you take a break from working out and shit. Good homemade chicken and noodles, or some nicely smoke ribs would be aight.

This. My mom brings me stuff like this frozen in a large aluminum pan with baking instructions. I just throw them in my freezer and throw it in the oven when ready.

Pork tenderloin or reg pork loin w a bit of bbq sauce in a crockpot.

4-5 hours on high or about 8 on low.   

After it's cooked drain the liquid and put in bbq sauce and mix it up.   Deliver the crockpot w a bag of nice rolls so they can make sammiches.  Super easy for the recipients to deal with .

14 years old  :(. I assume this is a terrible loss for you as well.  Condolences princess :(

I don't think necessarily in terms of a meal...but whatever comfort food he likes.  You obviously know this person well enough to do something like this for them so you should know what he likes.  I am torn on the "what she used to eat" thing because you don't know if he liked it too.  If nothing else, maybe get him out of his house and to yours (non sexual connotation here) and make him the meal.  Sit there and finish cooking.  Sometimes getting someone out of their environment that reminds them of their loved one is best.

high calorie... since appetite will be minimal.

maybe whatever food will sop up alcohol (bread/greasy?) and will offset the negative depressant effect of drinking, boost endorphins.

Company would matter more than anything.

The sperm donator usually gets fucked over sooner or later.  Now dad is paying 50% to his ex-wife and probably a load of child support too... dumb dad.  

Dad let his dick think for him which caused huge financial ramifications later... dumb dad.

What if you had other kids, are they not worth living for, in that scenario don't you think they'd need you more than ever?  ???

If I had other kids then thats different but at 50 Idon't. Three years my wife miscarried and that was tough enough. Look, I'm not saying I would off my myself. But I don't know how me or anyone else could handle that kind of loss. But for me, there is a God factor Thay would bring me some comfort.

So you are seriously asking the parents here what they would be hungry for if their kid died?

If you were raped for three days  straight by five men and found out you were pregnant...whats an appropriate baby shower theme ?

But a valid "point" nonetheless.

Be on the look out for less than good decisions on his part...Anything from harming himself, drug binges, to taking money (either from his own accounts or insurance payouts) and just flushing it away in a fit of grief.

A guy I knew lost his step daughter and his wife in a 6 month interval.  I warned him to go slow in what to do next, to use the insurance payouts to finance his son's college education. He quit his job in computer cartography...and went to Amsterdam...rented an apartment that cost 175 dollars a day... and over a course of three months blew every nickel he had.
His son now is having a hell of a time financing his education...

Comfort foods seem to be the logical choice.

Very old school.  I haven't made those in years, although they always seem to appear at every church function.  I didn't know they were called funeral potatoes.  What's your recipe?
