Okay, here's the situation, briefly. A friend is aged 71. He's now the full-time caretaker for his wife, who is failing. The grandson, age 20, is living with them and has never been any help around the place. Well, perhaps he mows the grass if forced.

It would be a good idea to teach the both grandfather and grandson some basic cooking techniques so they can prepare meals. I think they both would be amenable to me coming over and giving some hands-on lessons. Mostly I would like the grandson to learn, for obvious reasons. The kid isn't a rotter, he's just clueless. (Long story.)

Anybody have any suggestions or insights? I've never had children, my family is hundreds of miles away, and I'm out of touch with the younger generation.
