Transcript:
Grandma: Are you sure I can't be of some help here? My mashed potatoes usually get standing ovations... my turkey stuffing was featured in four cookbooks... Martha Stewart keeps writing to get my pumpkin pie secret... Andy: Actually, you could do something to make this easier for me, Mother. Grandma: Just name it. Sweetheart, how can I help you cook if I'm sitting out here on the sofa? Jason: Want to see my trick to get past the red orb guardian?

Heck, get all the help you can get. Nobody wants your tofu Thanksgiving sludge.

Actually, given her mom’s self-congratulatory pats on the back in panel 2, I would’ve done the same thing as Andy. Tofu or no tofu, no one likes a braggart.
Besides, it keeps Jason out of her hair as well. Two birds, one stone.

Is that the Red Orb Guardian trick he learned from Paige?

Wow, and here I thought tofu was supposed to be good stuff!

Nope, tofu isn’t supposed to be a mainstay; it’s a “sometimes food”. Really, it was originally intended to keep people alive during a famine. The good effects only counteract the bad ones enough that all it does is keep you from starving.

Well I think she did have “normal” ingredients on her shopping list the other day, so hopefully it’s a regular dinner and not cabbage and tofu bricks.
Most people with overbearing parents tend to either try to outdo them or just completely give up. Andy took a third option and decided to become the worst cook in the world.

The mother is just telling the truth - that’s clear from the way Roger & the kids love her & her cooking. It’s only Andi who doesn’t like her. Andi ought to try to learn from her mother instead of still acting like a 12 year old & shutting her out.
