a question for "cooking experts"

[grantcart]

This weekend I had an ackward situation because my brother married this wonderful wonderful woman and we visited them for the weekend. She is an excellent cook, and please I love cooks, but lordy she just went on and on. She made little hourderve stuff and then she had shrimp with this great sauce and that was before dinner even started.

We just stuffed ourselves during the game and everytime the Chargers dropped the ball or had it hit somebody's helmet instead of catching the damn thing she just pulls out another tray of finger food. I was worried that she would get angry at all the stuff we dropped on her brand new sofa.

So what's the problem?

She has the energy of hummingbird and can eat nonstop.

After the game we then had to sit down and eat a full 7 course dinner. Is she going to feed my brother to death? They got a big insurance policy so I am begining to wonder.

I always wanted to have a good friend or family member that was a good cook but now I can't figure out what to do.

Any good cooks have any suggestions on how to tone down her 'cookiness'?

3. good point but shes a really good cook

4. This is a joke, right?

I mean, you say that you've always wanted a good cook in the family then you get one and now you want her to stop? Have you asked your brother how he feels about it?

6. he likes it an everything and she has gotten him exercising a little bit more

and he tells me they are humping like rabbits.

But over the long term I know he is going to gain back all the weight he lost before.


I dunno just uncomfortable with really good cooks and all their fancy terms and able to cook like 5 things at the same time. Couldn't she just act a little more staid and like regular?

8. give us a run-down of the menu...

we need to see what sort of fare she offers to really give good advice, ya know.

personally, tell him if he can't pronunce it then he shouldn't eat it. i mean hors d'oeurves being served while watching the game is rather questionable- whatever happened to chips, dip, and some nasty beer?

7. i find this fascinating..

given that your brother has a really good insurance policy and a wife who likes to fatten him up, it may be wise for him to name you as the beneficiary. that way you can dine and cash in just in case she has another plan- sister-in-laws often have ulterior motives.

there is only one way to tone down her 'cookiness'. You have to slap her wrists with a ruler!
