Notes from Pappy's diary

Well, our first day of meals on wheels went ok. Can’t say lunch was good but filling. A mystery sandwich, Cole slaw, milk, orange juice, peaches and a package of Lorna Doone cookies.
Supper was much better. Chicken nuggets, mixed veggies, white rice with black bean, milk and bread. Very tasty. This will be a tremendous help to our budget as it is very expensive to rent our apartment.

Temperature should reach 75 degrees today but colder weather moving in for next few days. I look forward to warmer weather again.

That's great news Pappy... if it saves you money and is nutritious...

Out of interest how much does it cost for the meals on wheels there in NY ?

There is no cost for us Holly. However, donations are accepted and we will donate monthly.

Oh wow..that's fantastic... !

here older people have to pay for meals on wheels... average is between £6 and £10 per 2 course meal.. some are as high as £13...

I understand only those with very low income can apply for subsidised meals

My first husband is now disabled with COPD and recovering from prostate cancer ... and he can't get out to shop for groceries , and it's now become very difficult for him to cook.. so he applied reluctantly for meal on wheels... and he said it was inedible....:(

I think it might all depend on who is doing the cooking in which area of the country, but I think at these prices here , they should make it a priority that the food is not only good value but healthy and tasty
