Yeah, I do leave stuff that just has to be heated in the microwave and stuf from the deli (seafood salad, coldcuts, cheese.) I have on hand every kind of paper plate and plastic cup. I get baby back ribs that just have to be heated up. I have to plan out each and every meal and specify what to make. I used to tell them that there was a variety of things on hand and to just suggest things to him and use their own judgement. Mistake. They would just give him cold cuts or heat up a can of soup. I have convenience foods in the freezer. I had to go over the directions on the box with them. (Microwavable mashed potatoes have got to be stirred half-ways through.) I had to ask not to store left over moist food in paper bowls. I encourage them to go for take-out now and them. My s.o. buys them a meal when they do.

I absolutely do have to make a sheet listing duties of the day and run off copies. I've just put off doing that out of sheer laziness. That's where I've got to make more effort.
