I'd just say "let's eat out". Sorry. I don't cater (and I don't do
kosher) either.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

LOL you could!! Perhaps you could feed him a simple low carb diet during
his stay.

Eat out for every meal for a week?! That would get rather old (not to
mention expensive).

One could always learn to cook low carb and just forget flour of any
kind for a week. I'm a fan of breakfast meat and eggs for breakfast with
a small salad or a steamed veggie. I live that way.

Who needs pancakes or biscuits?

My cooking has gotten _far_ more creative since I've given up starch and
sugar for the most part. I also eat a greater variety.

The OP could always make biscuits or pancakes for everyone else and feed the
guest with the dietary restrictions just the eggs and bacon or sausage... or
whatever it is they can eat

That's the best idea I've read yet.
I routinely prepare separate meals for dad and I, but over this weekend,
both of us enjoyed those lettuce wraps! I'll gradually wean him over to
my way of eating. <g>

I'm fixin' to prepare myself some scrambled eggs with thinly sliced baby
spinach and shredded mozarella, and some leftover home made sausage.

I don't know why it took me so long to come to that conclusion. It's only
one guest, after all.

But should your dad be eating low carb? What does his doctor recommend?
Let him eat lettuce wraps if he loved them, but by all means consult his
doctor before "converting" him.
