I can buy a package of 6 for about $12.00 at Publix, but I don't need to have her complaining about the smell in the house. I don't use a BBQ because of the weather outside is usually rainy right now in SFLA.

I have grilled in the rain holding an umbrella. Unless it is a downpour it isn't too bad.

Good luck. Any time I tried to introduce my mother to a new food, she’d push it around her plate and tell me she found it interesting.

Thanks. I'm figuring this is generally tame, so they may like it.

I think that is a good guess (like smell changes during pregnancy) - what about if she wears a good n95 mask (the good ones don't allow odors in if fitted properly - even with non medical ones I've had issues with things I tried to smell while shopping) while you're cooking and thoroughly airing out the place after cooking before she takes the mask off (sort of simulating the cooking in a restaurant kitchen followed by serving in a different room)?

It didn't go well. She complained that it needed salt (because the salt in the recipe wasn't enough), and then complained that the carrots weren't cooked enough because they were tender but not soggy. My father liked it though.

Pass her the salt and the Poli-Grip.

I read the recipe and wondered about the relatively short cook tine.

LOL, she dumped a bunch of salt on it.

I modified the recipe a bit. I started the veggies first and cooked them for 3 or 4 hours, then added the chicken. That way, I didn't have to reheat the chicken. I'm not a fan of mushy veggies, so they were fine for me.

My mother cooked pork chops in the crock pot tonight. They were decent, but I feel like every meal she makes includes soup or soup mix of some sort. Tonight's included onion soup mix.

That she does. I'd prefer to temper my salt intake.

our supper guests are bringing supper from La Corneta taqueria. I told them that I’d make guacamole and pico de Gallo plus that I have Jarritos and topo Chico.
oops it’s starting to oxidize so I wrapped them. I prepped an hour ago because I didn’t actually know their eta and these are potential future inlaws.
