Food vs. Inlaws: curiouser and curiouser

Posted by dbcurrie, June 27, 2008 at 2:14 PM

For those of you who are amused by my ongoing struggles with cooking for the inlaws, this is an update. You may have read that last weekend, things were complicated even more when DH went to visit for a cup of coffee, and as he was leaving, MIL handed DH an empty container that I had used to give them ice cream last time. She said that she didn't want any refills as FIL is on a diet and can't have any more ice cream.

This put a crimp on Sunday's dinner menu, if I couldn't have his favorite home made ice cream. But if it was a medical diet, I didn't want to sabotage anything. And if it was an ingredient issue, I would have found a way to work around it.

So I called FIL to see if he could have some ice cream at our house, even if I didn't give him any ice cream to take home. His response was that he'd never heard such a thing (that he was on a diet or that he couldn't have ice cream) and that MIL was "making it up."

There's something weird in the water at that house. I have NO idea what this is about. It would make sense if FIL was feeble and needed someone to watch his diet for him, but that's not the case.

Sunday will be interesting, that's for sure.
