BTW, your description of your German GGmother had me laughing. One side of my family was from Czechoslovakia (similar personality types to Germans, I think) and my grandmother reminded me of her. We would go to visit her in Kansas, and when it was 6:30 and we weren’t up yet, she would come and open the drapes in our room, announcing that the day was being wasted. Then we’d go to have some fried mush for breakfast. The menu never changed - and neither did she. ;)

And I’ll bet you didn’t think of complaining either... LOL
It is amazing what people’s diets are... My first wife’s uncle in Oklahoma had the same diet every day -
Breakfast was 2 eggs, pinto beans and fried potatoes
Lunch was 2 links of sausage, pinto beans and fried potatoes
Dinner was a pork steak, pinto beans and fried potatoes.
And don’t even think of changing it! You could eat whatever you wanted but he had to have his menu.
