Screw Blue
in-laws left about 2 hours ago, and i'm just now calmed down, i'm sure that has something to do with the 3 jack and coke's that i've enjoyed since they left.
i fancy myself a very good cook, and the kitchen is my domain. my mother in law insisted on brining the turkey, after a week of begging/fighting - she won. so i asked her to bring some of the pan drippings so that i could make gravy.
i was outside with the dog when she came, so she goes into MY KITCHEN and starts making her lumpy runny gravy. i came in and not only was the gravy started, but it was a giant mess. (i keep the kitchen clean as i work so there is less clean up) - she had filled the pan to nearly the top, then dumped the flour in and (like most old broads) stirred like she would die if she stopped.
when i told her that all she needed to do to keep the lumps out was slow down and stir in a figure 8 motion, she scoffed and gave some bullshit about how she has been making gravy since i was in diapers, and me not giving a shit about hurting feels - i fired back with yes and its just as lumpy as those diapers of mine.
she marched out of the kitchen and then wouldn't talk to me the rest of the day (poor me) - wife wasn't real thrilled with me, but the father in law and my wife, loved the gravy that i made after the MIL left the cooking to me.
aren't in laws fucking great!
