Need help with recipe ideas...
kilikini
Uncle Nasty in about a month. My father-in-law has very few teeth left, my
Uncle Nasty has all of his. All my mother-in-law makes for her spousal unit
is a hamburger patty *every* night. He's up for something different, but
he's really, really picky. I suggested lasagna and his eyes lit up. He
said, "Ms. Tipton hasn't made that for me in YEARS!" Okay, so lasagna's on
the menu. He said he loves spinach, so I'll probably add that to the
lasagna sauce (I'm going to sneak in ricotta, although he claims he doesn't
like it). Meanwhile, Uncle Nasty has all of his teeth and he likes to eat
just about anything.
Bill doesn't like mushrooms, he doesn't eat broccoli, he's not into eggs or
fruit and he's not particularly fond of pasta, but he likes lasagna. My
mother-in-law said to me, "Oh, you can always make a meatloaf!" Bill looked
at me and grimaced. I think he's kind of over the ground beef thing since
it's all he's been eating, every day, for a few years, now.
Anyone have any ideas on what to cook for an old, toothless, tired, picky,
crotchety, retired hillbilly? I could stuff crepes, I can do anything, but
he's into very simple fare. He's looking forward to a change, though, I
tell you what, and I intend to give him one. I'll be there 4 or 5 days. I
know he likes grits, so I've got to re-learn how to make them, but he
doesn't eat chicken, fish or any kind of shellfish. My mother-in-law will
put salad in a blender for him and he "drinks" that. *I* really don't want
to go that route.
Any ideas are welcomed. They're buying the groceries, I just have to cook
it up.

Dimitri is good, yeah. Minestrone is great with cornbread, too. I betcha
he'd like ravioli if he likes lasagna. Spinach soufflé is one of my faves.
Chicken breast meat, sliced, sautéed briefly in butter then pan deglazed
with tiniest amount of white wine is our family stand by for people with
mouth problems. We call it Angels' Tongues.

Have them spring for the fixins for tamales. Make some guac and
salsa, and make some beans. If the old crab doesn't like it let him
go hungry. Meanwhile make a gozzilion tamales to freeze. <eg>

I like the minestrone with cornbread idea. That could work! He could soak
the cornbread. Minestrone is easy to make and I've got beef stock and
chicken stock - homemade. I could use either. I wonder if Bill would eat a
souffle'. Hmmmmm. Thanks, Giusi!

It's a bit difficult to know exactly what simple fare means, anyway it
might be worth while trying to expand your poor FIL's food range a
bit.
Cheese and bacon (finely diced) omlette?
Braised short ribs ( cooked til the meat is fallling off the bones)
Spare ribs and saurkraut
Tortière with lots of gravy
Pea soup with lots of diced ham.
Spanakopita ( includes spinach though the feta might be a bit much)
Roast pork (heavily overcooked, as my cousins used to do it, is pretty
easy to eat)
Mild Italian sauage ( sauage meat?) finely diced, mixed together
mashed potatoes and loaded with butter.
Eggs Benedict
Various stews ???

He does like mashed potatoes and gravy! (My mother-in-law uses gravy from
the can. :-P) I can do meatballs, if he wants ground beef. I'll run it by
him. Heck, he needs to eat 3 meals a day he's so skinny, but he doesn't
because my mother-in-law pretty much quit cooking anything but ground beef
hockey pucks. I'm really looking forward to bringing on a change for him.

I tried asking him, aem, but my mother-in-law stepped in and insisted on
meatloaf, which, when mentioned Bill grimaced at me. My gosh, woman! Can't
you see this man needs variety????
Yeah, post your recipe for the ground pork and peas, please. So far, I'm
thinking Mac N cheese, lasagna, mashed potatoes and gravy, possibly
meatballs with homemade tomato sauce, and after that I'm at a loss. I have
about 10 main meals to make (lunches and suppers). Oh, and the dog is no
longer fed dog-food because my MIL's dog passed last year from the dog food
poisoning, so I have to make my MIL's new pooch a hamburger every night,
too. I'm going to be busy.

Cranberries are the closest substitute for lingonberries
I can think of. Lingonberries are rather tart, which
makes them a good accompaniment for meatballs.
kilikini
You know, I wonder if I could oven-slow cook some pork. Get a butt or a
shoulder and slow cook it until it shreds. I think he'd eat that. I'm
thinking Kalua pig might be on the menu, now. Kalua pig is pork cooked in
the oven with chicken stock, water, sea salt and (gasp) liquid smoke. It's
normally served over cabbage and rice - Hawaiian style, but I can serve it
with shredded cabbage marinated in vinegar on the side, roasted garlic
mashed potatoes and use some of the liquid left in the pot to make gravy for
the potatoes.
Great idea, John! Thank you. (I have no idea why I didn't think of this
before. I need you guys.)

Sounds familiar.
How bout pinto beans and simmered with big smoked ham hocks?
I get the best ham hocks from a German deli (have them cut in half).
When finished cooking, strip the meat from the hocks and add to the beans.

Yeah, I think I'm going to do a pulled kalua pig-style pork. If I shred it
really finely, he'll eat it. Uncle Nasty (Chuck) will love it. Twice-baked
taters are an excellent lunch idea. I should have thought of that.

From one hillbilly to another -- the holy trinity of beans, greens,
and cornbread.
Pinto beans cooked slowly until they are soft and creamy.
Vegetables cooked slowly until they are tender and flavorful --
greens, green beans, summer squash. Add some little new red potatoes
to the green beans.
Cornbread with all of the above to sop up the juices.
This is pure comfort food and nourishing to the body and soul.
You mentioned he likes ground beef -- maybe you could do a beef-a-roni
/ goulash kind of dish with macaroni, tomatoes, and ground beef. I
bet he would like hamburger gravy over biscuits, toast, rice, or
mashed potatoes.
What about a good vegetable or vegetable/beef soup and cornbread?

LOL, I know! My mother-in-law lost her dog last year to the tainted food
thing and now that she acquired Tara, (a LARGE rottweiler puppy) she's not
taking chances. She makes a hamburger or two for Tara every night with some
rice, and gives her vitamin doggy supplements from the vet. Tara's healthy
and her coat is really shiny, so it seems to work. (This is partly why Bill
gets stuck with hamburgers, too. If she's going to make it for the dog,
that's what Bill gets.)
