 The prodigal middle brother wasn't coming over to see my dad.

Plus my dad's friend was suddenly busy going out with her son.

Younger brother was busy, so it was left to me to go over and do some lunch. It was in fact my youngest son that did his meal for him.

( I watched from the sidelines)

After making it, my dad took two mouth fulls and said the steak was full of gristle and left it!!!

 Great!

We came home.
