i feel so sorry for you good thing your lai-lai is only temporary staying with you!!!
i heard a myth that my own lai-lai can't cook either. but for the last 4 years of dating my hubby, i've never tried her cooking. i remember there was this one time that she actually invited us over because she was cooking... but my hubby turned her down~ i was kinda disappointed (haha) because i was curious how bad can she get lol~ that's why, 80% of the time dinner with my lai-lai is eating out... 10% of the time is eating at my hubby's grandma's place (my lai-lai's mom...but my hubby doesn't like her cooking either, other than the soy sauce chicken), & 10% of the time my lai-lai comes over to our place to eat my cooking. the only thing i've tried my lai-lai's is her soup. it's not bad... only there's 3 versions that i've ever tasted:
1. carrot/green carrot
2. watercress
3. red dates/chinese herbs
it's not bad...but very greasy. so that's why i always put it in the fridge, so i can scoop out the floating fat~ cus when i boil soup, no matter if i use meat or bones, i will scoop out ALL the fat ga lor~ i'm very fortunate that my lai-lai is very nice to me, and is not possessive. but im sure things will be different if we ever lived under the same roof.
actually...
your lai-lai kinda reminds me of my own grandma (my mom's lai-lai) hahahaha. that grandma of mine is VERY traditional, & gave my mom a hard time when we were younger (stories from my mom). she doesn't cook as bad as your lai-lai i don't think... but she will make you eat... & used to require my mom go to her home for dinner every week when we were still in hk. if you don't show up, she will deliberately say something so that "someone" will hear her rant. my grandma is a clean freak~ when we go back to hk now... we always eat out because if you use her kitchen ware, she will think you contaminated it or something...end up u will hear loud commotion at like 5am in the morning, where she wakes up & clean the entire 700sq ft flat. even when my uncle (mom's bro) go to live at our hk appartment for 3 weeks (grandma's place), she hid ALL her dishes, wok, utensils, EVERYTHING so no one can touch! hahahaha
good thing my hubby likes my cooking... or else even more trouble~
