Default Grandpa-to-be volunteers to cook for 4-6.

Good on you for volunteering! It sounds like you have a good start on
things, I usually send soups and casseroles.

The only recommendation I have is if she is going to nurse take it easy on
spicy / gas-producing foods or you may have 2 very fussy babies!
