Do you still cook for visiting grown up kids?

We have 4 children in their 30s/40s and 8 gc. They all live a distance away and sometimes choose to stay with us all at the same time. I am not a good cook and don't enjoy it so our habit is for each couple to choose a night to cook. Sometimes, though, I feel I should be an earth mother type who cooks lots of meals in advance to produce at the drop of a hat! What do you do?

Yes Chewy and SueDonim the mystery of the disappearing Tupperware !

My son (and his 3 children) are mostly to blame what with last minute packed lunches and tubs full of whatever he has caught me making.

Cutlery seems to have legs in my house too (especially small spoons) so I bought a huge pack of little plastic ones which means they can just be thrown out after use.
