[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, I wouldn't cook for her too often. But when I did, I would plan a menu that doesn't require cooking something special for her -- can't everyone eat rice instead of noodles?

I had a friend whose list of prohibited ingredients included tomatoes, corn, onions, olives, mushrooms, wheat, soy, and dairy of any kind. I had planned to cook dinner, but when she launched into the list I just said "Well, that pretty much eliminates everything I've ever cooked, so let's just eat out. You pick the place."[/quote]

This might be exposing my own crazy, but we try not to eat too much rice in our household because of arsenic.  Also, our kid loves noodles and we know he'll eat anything we serve him if it's on top of a pile of noodles, so if she were a monthly guest at our house, we could just serve something she could eat, but not every time.  Same, with going out as a solution, her diet is restricted enough that going out to eat poses a whole separate set of annoying issues.[/quote]
