Dad and his friends are off on a trip. Literally and metaphorically.

He calls me last night. 'When we return, we'll all land up at your place for dinner.'
Me: OK
Dad: We're a group of 10
Me: Not an issue
Dad: make idli and curd rice. They're all old people.
(Dad's 83, just FYI)

Me: Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it.
Dad: Make plenty of vathakuzhambu to eat with curd rice.
Me: OK, done

Dad calls after a bit. 'Let the oldies eat curd rice. Make pooris for those who want'
Me: Not an issue
Dad: These are older folks so they won't eat much.

I assure him that making pooris for his group is really no problem.

After some time

Dad: Make the Potato the way I like. With lots of runny gravy.
Me: sure

After some time

Dad: put plenty of onions in the Potato curry.
Me: alright
Dad: don't be stingy with onions.
Me: I wont

By this time the OH and kids are in splits.
The OH wonders whether Dad is more interested in his holiday or post holiday dinner.
Kids find his food combos hilarious.

I tell my OH to stop making fun of Dad. More so if he wants the same privileges from his daughters.
