My mother can not cook. Well she can cook. But we don't want to eat it. She keeps making stuff and bringing it over to us to eat The food is bad and I end up tossing in out because no one will eat it. Then my mother will ask me if I like the pie, cake, soup or whatever. And I tell her it was fine. As I do not have the heart to tell her that we can not eat her cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed odd to me at the time but it worked. The concept is generalizable to other situations. Find a recipe you like and ask mom to make it. Then, assuming the taste is at least pleasant, affirm her (not just the dish she prepared) and let her know anytime she wishes to make you something that is what she should make because she did such a wonderful job. You might then be able to also tell her the kinds of foods or flavors you like. When I married I came from a home in which my mother had taken professional cooking classes. I ran group homes and taught folks with developmental disabilities how to plan and cook meals, and I'd lived as a bachelor in various phases of health/dietary fads for many years. My wife did not know how to cook ("On what temperature do I bake chicken breasts, and for how long?"). I'm not a particularly big fan of mayonnaise. My wife likes it. She has recipes for beef stroganoff and quiche that use mayo! Gotta tell her. Also gotta eat what she fixes and offer some degree of appreciation, for the effort at a minimum, if not the dish itself. Appreciation is appreciated. So too is this truth: behavior that is rewarded is much more likely to re-occur. Thank you for dinner..... (then a day or two later), hey, can you maybe find a quiche recipe without mayonnaise and alternate form time to time? And when she does well, "WOW mom! That was deeelicious! (big hug, kisses on the cheek) Thank you, mom, you're so nice." So find a recipe you like and give it to mom. Then praise her shoes off when she does well and invite her to fix that dish from time to time. Add a different dish from time to time. Pretty soon she'll be a better cook and maybe she'll take those dishes to her friends and say, "My daughter loves this dish so I fixed it for you." Unless you're poor she's not cooking because you need the food. Or - when you get your new job - pay for a cooking French, Italian, or Mediterranean cooking class at the local community college of adult extended learning center. Or... just say her cooking needs work and deal with the consequences. Maybe offer to cook with here sometime and either go to her or have her come to you and the two of you so-prepare a dish from a recipe you like. Or do the co-cooking without telling her cooking stinks and in that way offer some mom-daughter time and improve her cooking. That is very helpful advice, but the thing is is that my mother dose not like to cook. She makes the easiest thing possible and is not going to put any real effort into it. For example she made banana pie with just banana pudding in a pie shell with no real bananas. So even if I said to her "well you need to make it this way" example cut up bananas ect ect. She is going to be like "well if you want that than you do it". LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how one is lost..if they do not believe in Jesus Christ. Christ said about the sweet holy Spirit He convicts the world of sin. That SIN is they do not believe in Him. The thing is its silly to think all that die (that know Christ) have confess every sin. How would He hold a sin against you that He already died for? New man?....sin is doing something thats not you any more.. confess keep going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a no brainer. Read a few books of what the persecuted Christians go through in foreign countries. The danger to divulge truth to police or officials, that would mean torture/death to friends/family. Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. Will the lie hurt/harm, or save a life/torture. I would lie in a heart beat, and suffer God's penalty, if any, gladly. It's the purpose behind the deception, I believe, is at question. (Really honey, it's OK.

I was just trying to come up with an example that would suggest there are times not telling the truth might be the best thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
