Halle, Were I in your shoes I would be fixing deviled eggs, as paleo as I could possible get them, no big deal if you can't, pemmican which has all the great stuff he needs, you can add fruit to it also, well ground flax meal, etc., lasts forever, baked custard, using honey and coconut milk, quiche, using feta cheese, etc. etc. etc. You can only do what you can do. Also, talk to his doc about his condition....Hope this helps.....

My father in law has come to live with us again. He is very ill, basically, he is losing elasticity in the tissues of his internal organs. This is seen as a terminal condition. (What exactly is going on we can't be sure. Dad is secretive about his medical issues.) Halle
