we used to have alot of older single men come to us, but things got reallyy crazy (even drove my husband to distraction), when they’d start giving us longg lists of what they’d eat (only turkey, only whole wheat challah, etc.) & what they didn’t (no cooking with salt, pepper, sugar, onions, beans, red meat, & the list goes on). for each guest we’d try to accommodate him for awhile (or even years), until it became EXPECTED of us to cook & supply the proper foods, &/or until the lists of do’s & don’t’s became tooo infringing. (btw– these guests never helped @ all, nor ever brought anything… I’m just sayin’)
why’d we continue to have them over for as long as we did? cuz they are/were basically nice men.
