Didn't work of course and absolutely tasteless! Her roast beef would be 1/3 of its original size after spending the whole afternoon roasting away. She worried a lot about bacteria in meat so everything was over cooked. But we all survived those bacteria!!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-36953898043055399622017-01-13T11:49:55.567-08:002017-01-13T11:49:55.567-08:00Thank you!

She was so angry and stomping and cussing about the cornbread. I got the empty package from the trash and was reading the instructions. I asked how many eggs she used? None, she didn't have any. Ok, how much milk did she use? None, she didn't have any! She used cornmeal and water and was mad because it didn't make cornbread! lol Boy, she was a bad cook!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801034670010657204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-74250110407075140452017-01-12T15:00:06.783-08:002017-01-12T15:00:06.783-08:00That is one month every year!That is one month every year!Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-76025546596276463242017-01-12T14:58:34.443-08:002017-01-12T14:58:34.443-08:00My MIL was a horrible cook.

I tried to eat fast food as often as possible when there. The day before we were to leave and drive back down South, she put turkey legs in the oven to bake forever. I was ill from the heat and working in it to come home. I ate nothing of that dinner. Everyone was angry at me. I did not eat green peas and she had that for the vegetable. As it turns out, 50 years later it turns out I am allergic to green peas. Another year I was pregnant and forbidden to eat "all day." I could write a book. <br /><br />So, how did your mother do staying alone when you were gone? I expected to hear she did not fare well or got into trouble.<br /><br />If the doctor says she cannot drive, if you sell the car, that will keep her from trying to drive. I hate you are in the middle of all this!Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-55192424946967943572017-01-12T14:35:50.578-08:002017-01-12T14:35:50.578-08:00Your MIL's food reminds me exactly of my MIL! ...Your MIL's food reminds me exactly of my MIL! we just cannot eat it, or just picked at it, if we had to. She didn't boil steaks but she'd take perfectly good steaks and smother them with butter and then broil and they'd be like trying to eat a piece of shoe leather. Her idea of a salad was a head of lettuce placed on a plate in the middle of the table, LOL. We'd go over for holiday's, eat a tiny bit and then stop at fast food on the way home.

When you mentioned boiled steak I think I gagged a little.<br />If MIL wants to live with you, sell her house take whatever you get out of it and use it to add on a suite to your house. Make it 2 br and 2 baths and you can put both moms there.<br />Oh and I am right there with you with a mom who needs help but insists she doesnt.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.com
