My mother makes the most god awful Sunday dinners in the world! The meat is usually ok but the veg and potatoes are boiled to within an inch of their lives! Limp, lifeless cabbage, brocolli that's been cooked as long as the cauliflour so it's falling apart on your plate, too salty potatoes and carrots that even a rabbit would turn down lol!
And when I say that I can't have her gravy because it's made with the fat from the meat she sighs and gets this look on her face that says 'Surely she's taking this diet too far?' It's not worth the hassle telling her that I don't want dinner, she might as well not bother because most of us are in work on Sundays and by time they get back the dinner's all cold and rubbery. And I've had to make it an EE day because she insisted I have the potatoes, even worse I had to get up to eat it and I'm on a night shift tonight! Does anyone else go through this charade just to keep people happy?
