I can't seem to get my mother to eat anything lately. Anything, that is,
aside from eggs, cheese, spinach and toast. Not necessarily in that order
and not necessarily combined. She does like bacon but she's shunning most
other meats.

Okay, I can only make so many cheese and bacon & egg dishes. And spinach
souffles. And creamed spinach. She'll eat a little macaroni & cheese. Oh,
and the toast, ergo grilled cheese sandwiches. I have yet to try grilled
cheese with spinach but don't think I haven't thought of it! She doesn't
want raw spinach (as in a salad). I'm running out of ideas.

She'll eat eggs practially any way (except poached). So when you've baked,
soft-boiled, scrambled, fried, cooked over-easy, over medium over well over
and over again... what's left?

Oh, of course! Quiche! It incorporates everything she'll eat. Eggs.
Cheese. Sometimes bacon! Sometimes spinach! Sometimes even other veggies
like broccoli Oh, and she likes mashed potatoes. By extention, mashed
potato pancakes. And home fries or hash browns... maybe latkes? All this
doesn't really add much to the cooking repetoire.

Dammit, must I cook eggs, cheese, spinach, toast and potatoes for the rest
of her life?! I suppose I shall, but it's getting hard to be creative with
it.

Gonna make a pot of Grandma Mac's potato soup tomorrow. She likes that...
at least she used to. Dad loved it and was happy I managed to re-create his
mother's recipe. Dad's sister loves it, too. If Mom doesn't want to eat it
I guess I'll scramble her some eggs...
