On a recent visit to in the in-laws, MIL started telling us about foods that they like and don't like. The only meat she says FIL likes are hamburgers, hot dogs, smoked sausages, pork chops, and ham. They don't like ANY spices at all The vegetables he DOES like includes green beans, lettuce, and green beans.
I was mildly devastated by this. Over the years, I've tried to make things they like, knowing that they're picky. But based on this new list, it says they haven't like any of the meals I've made for them.
First, my feelings are hurt they didn't tell me about this a long time ago. I've wasted a lot of food, time, and spices.
Second, I feel like I should apologize for serving the abovementioned food, because I like my guests to enjoy themselves.
Third, I'm just randomly ticked off.
We're supposed to be having a postponed Father's Day dinner at our house in 2 weeks. I'm thinking of just buying steaks (she didn't list those, and I think it's because she'd never spend the $$) and then making salad, green beans and baked spuds. And making that the dinner forever after. Less brain damage for me.
I dunno...do you think I should apologize? Is my anger justified?
These are my inlaws, and other than food issues, they're really nice people. And they live 6 blocks away.
