Marcy's Dinner Page Quick Links:
We've mentioned many times that our neighbors' bringing dinner has been one of our biggest blessings. We continue to be blessed as more people ask to join our dinner caregivers and bring ideas to make the dinners even better. This page summarizes and provides links to the dinner related items on this site. Anyone is welcome to view our dinner calendar anytime. If you would like to bring dinner to our home for us, and you haven't done it before, just call me (Rob) at (615) 794-6494. Or you can do it online - just email me to get a password. We have dinner passwords so strangers don't destroy the calendar. I'll send you a password and ask you to change it immediately - you can create one that you will be able to remember. I won't know your password, but if you forget it, I can assign you a new one. Once you have a password, you'll be able to login and pick any night that no one else has taken - weeknights, weekends, whenever - you want to bring dinner or call to have have food delivered. After picking the night, we ask you to key in what you would like to bring. If you don't know what you want to bring when you reserve your night, it's OK to say "Don't Know" - you can come back and fill that in anytime. Having the meals on the calendar helps answer our most frequently asked question from dinner caregivers: "What have you had lately?" We also ask you to tell us about what time you can come. Most of our friends deliver between 5:30 and 6:30 pm but we are flexible and don't want to interfere with your family time. Marcy and I are rarely away from home, but if we are going to be away at dinner time, we will give you as much notice as possible. The day before your chosen day, I will email you a note to let you know how many people are going to be home - usually it's just Matt, Darcy, and me. Marcy is home but we have different food we give her through the feeding tube. Also in this email I ask about what time you think you'll be able to come. We are not picky eaters, but we try to avoid the chemicals in commercially prepared foods, so the fresher the better. If you have trouble deciding what to bring, check out the recipes from caregivers or Marcy's favorites from the Food Network on our site to see if they give you any ideas. If you don't live close by, you can still be a dinner caregiver by calling in to one of the companies that deliver in our area. See the delivered dinner page for more about this. If we've asked you to share a recipe, click here for instructions on how to post a recipe to Marcy's site. If we haven't asked you, but want to post your favorite recipe, please follow the same instructions, and please email us telling us you have posted.
