[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't. Picky adult eaters have 3 options:

- eat what I make/order/serve
- pick around what I eat/order/serve
- bring or make their own food, and clean up after themselves.[/quote]

OP here. I think I’m ready to go into this mode.

And to another PP’s point, yes it really is a lot for a week of cooking for two houseguests (all meals and snacks) and at least 4 “bigger dinners” with the other visitors. My nuclear family alone is 5 people, so even the volume for 9 people is challenging, plus on top of that I do at least one meal where my local cousin and her family of 5 comes over as well. So even grilling is quite a volume game.

I can’t even ask DCUM for advice because the typical “baked ziti” and “chicken shawarma” will not work for my Dad especially. [/quote]

My feeling is that if I care about them enough to have them over, I want them to have a good time. I would order pizza for the cousin meal. Other meals could be rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes and a vegetable, hot dogs and baked beans and cucumber slices and ranch, make your own sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs, store-bought pulled pork on buns, that sort of thing. I also think it's ok to stock the freezer with microwave dinners or frozen pizza or the precooked cheeseburgers they have at Costco or uncrustables or whatever, and if they don't like the other options they can heat something up.[/quote]
