Man, this is great. So true! The fire one is the best. And the disposable cookware? My mom asked for her stuff back several times over the years growing up. We talked about getting disposable stuff all the time but she kept bringing food in the good stuff.

When my grandma died my friend promised to make me a non-casserole (as soon as he figured out what a non-casserole was). It's been 10 months and he still hasnt given it to me.

I think it's weird to make a bunch of unhealthy casseroles and desserts and bring them to a sick person. It should be a bunch of super-healthy food!

And what's the deal with those weird gelatin "salads"?? Gross.

So I’m in the process of reading through all your entries as a new reader of your genius blog and I must say this one is PRICELESS!!

I really liked the one about the fire. Let us also remember that they probably don’t want to see the color red, which definitely makes this a tough situation in considering what to prepare. This leaves out everything made with tomato sauce (like 50% of all casseroles) and ketchup, the quintessential casserole topper when all else fails.

Best to stick with chicken and mashed potatoes

A friend of mine experienced this abundance recently as her dad had just had a stroke. Their family isn’t that picky food-wise, so when the organizer asked what they liked to eat, she said, “I don’t know … nothing too spicy … We like spaghetti?”

They ate spaghetti for the next week.

Elizabeth,

Okay, let me get this straight. Your dog dies, then your neighbor brings you alcoholic beverages. Never mind how tacky it was for them to bring "Black Dog" Ale. I'm just wondering what they said when you came to the door.

"Your dog died. That sucks, let's drink!"

I'm really sorry about your dog, and your neighbor.

I’m late to this post, but when our dog died, our neighbor bought us Black Dog Ale. Yes, we had a black dog.

- I think “…used to ‘lie’…” would be more grammatically correct. Other than that – awesome post.
i feel #3 in particular spoke to my heart, felt like it was written specifically for me.
And #4, I love easy mac (the chicken flavoured kind), yeah we actually get it in NZ!

It cracks me up everytime you talk about working out and you put the word “core” in quotes. I laugh until my “core” hurts.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
