[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd either drop off an easily reheated meal (my favorite is risotto), or do an Uber eats/doordash gift card. Ask someone if there's a meal train set up. That way you don't drop off risotto and the same day that someone else is dropping off lasagna[/quote]

Agree with this poster. Having gone through this, one of the unforeseen challenges was having lots of meals brought over, but not enough space in the refrigerator to store them. And if the family is in the early throes of this diagnosis, some appetites have waned and they may not be eating as much, just due to the stress of the situation. Plus, if mom is going through chemo, she will more than likely have taste bud challenges (my husband couldn't eat anything super hot or super cold, tomato-based things were too acidic, and dairy based things exacerbated his nausea). In all, an Ubereats gift card or a gift card to a restaurant that carries lots of options is helpful for the flexibility. And on those days when only the kids were eating, we could use up just as much of the gift card as we actually needed at that time.[/quote]
