Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
My friend had a baby last week and this week her appendix burst. No bueno. I’m making some meals to take to her fam; I’ve got a veg lasagne, meat sauce (to have with pasta or rice, or add beans and it’s a chilli, burritos, etc.), and a pesto chicken pasta bake. Do you think that’s a good spread? They have three boys (plus the beb).
Sounds pretty comprehensive. Maybe a Hello Fresh or Funky Food subscription or similar for a month to take the pain out of shopping might be a nice idea if within your budget. I think it more likely that your friend will need someone to run the washing machine and/or dishwasher every couple of days - time means more than money when you’re stretched to the limit.
She has her husband at home for another month or two which will be a huge help, and her boys are old enough to help out (late primary/early high school). She’s just asked for meals so far; I’m pretty sure there’s a few of us doing it so they should be covered for a good while.
