Buon Natale! It's funny you say that. Our last Thanksgiving together my mom said that everything was delicious and stbxh looked at me and said in a weird tone, "Yes, she does cook well." at the time i thought ???? wth????
Even my cooking ego has taken a beating, tbh ... though that is slowly coming back. STBXH disparaged my broccoli and had the temerity to tell me to roast it in the oven then add cheese for the last few minutes. He said he LOVES broccoli that way and always hated broccoli the way I cook it (Italian - steamed, a bit of olive oil, pepper and garlic powder) ... and that our son also loves it the way he makes it. This from the man who thought boxed mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs was haute cuisine.
I checked in with son who said, "Mom --- I love your broccoli. Just don't tell Dad I said that." lololol
I had a recipe thread a while ago ... maybe it's time to resurrect that?
