High five, Mike! We have 1 yo twin grandsons and when we were back
east after their birth, I spent most of my time cooking. I mainly just
shooed everyone out of the kitchen for hours at a time and whipped up
stuff the new mama and daddy would be able to live off for a while,
separated into disposable double portion-sized containers: spaghetti,
beef stew, navy bean soup, meatloaf, a chicken casserole, etc. As for
the family that was either in residence or in nearby hotels, they
could either eat out or help themselves to the kitchen when I was
done, but they should keep their mitts off those disposable
containers!
