he said that it was medicine and he was sick. I also saw some white powder that looked like baking soda. I asked him what it was and he said that it was more medicine because he was really sick. I didn't know that he was sick. What is good meal that I can make for my dad to surprise him?

One could go off the deep end right away, be judgmental and say he was using drugs illegally. But, not knowing the situation, that may not be true.
He may be a diabetic and has to take his insulin shots several times a day. The powder is harder to explain away though. The only possible thing I can think of is Goody's aspirin powder, but not a lot of people use it (Even though it does work wonders for me). There may be other medical powders out there that I'm not aware of.
As for what to make. Being a meat and potatoes man myself, fried chicken and some homemade mashed potatoes, with gravy and biscuits, is always a winner in my book. If you don't feel like cooking, a bucket of KFC chicken is also a good choice.
Best of luck to you.

There are some legitimate medications that a person may need to inject (such as insulin for diabetes); but, although I there's some medication I don't know about for some odd condition, most legitimate medicines don't come in the form of powder that looks like bading soda.
If someone is sick (maybe nauseous) there isn't necessarily any meal that will help. A sick person may not feel like eating. I know its not what you're looking for, but maybe just making some plain toast or heating up a can of chicken rice soup would be a nice gesture. Most people I know find that the salty Campbell's chicken rice soup or else toast are what they can eat when they've been nauseous. Coca Cola or ginger ale help too. Even if someone isn't nauseous and instead has something like a sore throat these things can be ok.
Talk to someone about what you saw, although your mother may already know about it. If your father should mention the incident again him to just be honest about whatever his problem is. If he doesn't bring it up again you should just try to let his be his problem and you just worry about your own stuff. You shouldn't have to take on the worrying about a grown-up. That's his job and other older people in the family's job; but it shouldn't be yours.
If its true that he lied to you its because he's trying to protect you from knowing something awful about him. He may not want to you to think less of him, he may not want you to see his behavior and see him as a "role model", but more importantly, he may not want you to take on the worries about this problem he may have.
Understand any lies he may have told (if, in fact, he was lying); but remember that you need to deal with this in the way that is right for you - and that isn't likely to be just staying quiet and keeping this whole thing to yourself. Just respect his right to keeping his business within, say, immediate family or professionals and don't go out in the neighborhood asking people's opinions.
If he's really using illegal drugs and ever decides to be honest with you there will be some hard realities for both of you to have to face and discuss and get past.
The thing is, though, the drug users and honesty don't usually come together. Needing to hide their behavior and lying often is part of an addict's illness; so there's a point where you need to understand and overlook that too. The unfortunate thing is that it gets so you know you can't believe the person, and you get so there are times when if when he/she isn't using any drugs you will worry that they are. The person then starts to feel as if you don/t'can't believe in them, and then the relationship gets even more strained.
If he's using drugs he's put himself and you in a no-win situation. If he's honest there could be some huge relationship strains and challenges to overcome. If he lies there is another set of challenges and relationship strains to overcome. Be strong, be ready for a rough ride, and remember that there's a point where it can't be your worry.

Dads not sick! Dads a junkie! sorry to say it, but it sounds like it.
The only injections that I know of that are done by the individual is for diabetes.... No white powder with that! Sounds like heroin.
If you just caught him doing it, hes not gonna be hungry.
Ask him if it was heroin... If he says "NO" ask to see the prescription!
Things to look for: a metal spoon, a lighter, and the needle
They put the junk in the spoon, heat it up until it turns to a liquid, and then shoot it into their arm.
