I had made some chicken cooked with a bit of vinegar for my grandson. He had told me that he was coming yesterday. As it was, he did not come. And he did not call.

So I have a lot of food to put away. I also bought orange cake and ice cream. I´m sorry that that keep on buying food for the grandchildren. I´m sure that it would be less expensive to invite them to a not so good restaurant.

For dinner I´ll eat part of it plus a coleslaw salad. I´d better go to the kitchen before it gets colder. Today the sun forgot to shine.

Sorry your grandson didn't come, I hope he will visit another time, I just tried marinating frozen chicken fingers in Italian dressing and as they thawed they soaked up the dressing and were nice and tangy,

How rude to make you work to prepare food and not even to come. Stop cooking for your grandson, tell him to bring food when he visits.

Sorry he didn't show. Having them take you to a restaurant is a good idea if they show

That's inconsiderate of them not to let you know

That is so annoying and quite rude that he didn't let you know.

How old is your grandson? Does he often not come and not inform you?

I’m sorry. My late grandmother had 3 granddaughters like that, and it drove her nuts. They loved her, of course, but we’re so self-absorbed. I guess young people often are.

I wonder why he didn't come. Did he even call?

Hope you'll be able to eat all that food or at least freeze some of it? If he wasn't coming he should have at least called and let you know.

I'm sorry he didn't come, but you'll have more food for yourself. I love ice cream.

I am sorry he disappointed you, caused you extra work, and didn't bother to call. Next time maybe don't do anything at all to prep for him. You deserve better.

I get it — leftovers at the end of a long day feel like one more chore. Still, please don’t risk it. Pop them away now: into shallow containers so they cool fast, lids on, into the fridge within two hours. Label today’s date. Reheat only once and make sure it’s piping hot all the way through. If it’s been sitting out too long or smells off, bin it. Food waste is annoying; food poisoning is worse. You’ve got this — five minutes now saves a headache later.

I think I'd start waiting for your grandson to actually show up before starting to cook something for him to eat. Or ordering extra groceries for him. A not-so-good restaurant might be a good idea. You can always call a cab to take you both there IF he actually comes over. I'm sorry he's so inconsiderate of your time and cooking skills...
