What if they already know how to make their favorites? When they come
home they ask for the things they know but are too lazy (or have too
little time) to make themselves. <g>
So they "remember" me as the one who'll indulge them, as with:

arroz con pollo with andouille sausage
osso buco
homemade egg noodles with coq au vin or beef stew
spicy eggplant

Then we grill steaks or go out for good Chinese. -aem
