    As much I’ve not yet had Beyond Meat®, I wouldn’t mind if Andrea made a beef Stroganoff WITHOUT that stuff nor egg noodles made from a spinach- or lentil-based dough.

    She is actually surprised by this reaction?

    A lot of it is her selection. Try cooking things the family wants and see how her ratings go up!

    MY wife is a good cook. My mother on the other hand, well … she wasn’t a bad cook, but she lacked imagination.

    We had meat: pick one from pork, ham or beef.

    Vegetable: pick one from string beans, corn, carrots, peas or spinach.

    Mashed potatoes: no option here. Every meal had mashed potatoes with it. (Mom had an Irish background).

    Except on Friday when it was fish (caught by my dad and me) or fish sticks or cheese pizza (we were Catholic).

    However, considering that all she had to cook on was a coal-burning stove (Brooklyn, 1950’s) I think she did well.

    I bet Peter was the only one making the requests. (Or at least he spoke for everyone.)

    The book Green Cuisine refers to what color the kids will turn when they see what she cooks.

    Cook what you want, put it on the table. If they don’t eat, you have seconds for lunch tomorrow.

    Don’t worry, Andi. When your kids are in their seventies, they’ll look back on your cooking and thank you for their continuing good health.

    When I grew up, my family (brother, father, and me) ate anything and everything my mom made for us, and loved it. Now, my family DOESN’T eat anything and everything I make. Go figure.

    Feel free to cook whatever crap you want, Andy. Then we throw it away, and THEN order take out.

    You would think that the kids would have had enough of TV Dinners after the whole Titanic fiasco.

    Maybe she could suggest that Roger and the kids alternate between themselves cooking one meal a week. I’m sure they’re all magnificent cooks, and no one will complain about their results… (And yes, I’d probably hate a lot of her recipes but they do seem to be a parody of vegetarian cuisine.)

    Is it that she’s a bad cook, or just that she only cooks yucky dishes instead of meals the family would enjoy?

    Three kids give seven answers. I’m guessing at least four of them came from Peter.

    “What do you want me to make for dinner?”

    “Reservations.”

    Nobody said “A phone call”? Disappointing.
