We have a houseguest here for a couple of weeks. She will come and go as she is in town for rehearsals of musical theater performance.
We are not obligated to feed her, but she’s a young person with no money so I want to have SOME food around for her.
I will not have sit down meals with her because I don’t know what her schedule is.
I was thinking about having things like barbecue pork, chicken, salad, and cheeses that she could make sandwiches with.
What would you suggest?
I’d ask her what she likes to eat and drink. Maybe she’s a vegan or veggie?

Otherwise what you suggested sounds good. Ask her about drinks. Maybe she prefers diet to regular or sparking water, etc.Quote:

If she it in and out most of the time, maybe some grapes or apples - easy to grab and eat on the run type stuff.
Maybe just a small basket of assorted snacks, like nuts, chips, candy bars, Clif bar, and definitely just plain bottled water.
I remember when I worked in summer stock I lived in a boarding house and my hot plate was really important, but in this case, if she has access to a microwave, I think that will suffice.
the snack basket is a good idea. And yes, she has free kitchen privileges so she can do whatever she likes in or kitchen.Quote:

Too Much Stuff, That was my first thought. Like IL, I never like to plan drinks...All we have in the house is coffee, beer and tap water. If I have company for lunch they bring their own diet soda or smart water. I will put a jug of water in the refrigerator, as we never have ice.
That's about what I'd do, although I might want a basket of fresh fruit, too. I'd hope that young people can use a reusable water bottle rather than the disposable plastic bottles.Quote:

I make ice cubes from ice cube trays on a regular basis, quite frequently in the summer. That is one of my culinary specialties!
LOL. Thanks for my morning chuckle.Quote:
