Pasta sauce and chilli are my usual standbys.

Spaghetti bollocknaise. Always goes down well.

Chilli.

Or pizzas?

They are male. They are 17. They will eat. Anything. Everything. Do not fret

is it an occasion? a quick bite to eat?

are they with you for ages, or will be scoffing then running out of the door?

Pasta. Bolognaise Sauce. Garlic bread.

He can make it this evening and it will be ready for him to serve to his friends tomorrow.

God help you!!

Trip to Costco, me thinks, for pizza, pasta and lots of bolognese sauce. And about 20 loafs of bread. And gallons of sugary alcoholic drinks. And pallets of crisps and things.

Rather you than me !!

right, off later for chips and chilli ingredients. Shame I can't get one of them to make it but they are my guests, my tutees from school who are about to go off on their final exam leave and then out into the big wide world! THanks everyone

I've got a girl one you can have for variety? She's only 13 - but that's about 17 in boy years.

what do you teach them?

I teach Business Studies but I don't teach these boys I just chase them up when they are behaving badly for their teachers and encourage them when they are struggling. I support and advise them through UCAS applications and they are off into the wide world in 2 weeks - well study leave, then exams and so I thought I'd do the farewell thing and feed them and say goodbye properly
