Everyone can manage one meal without protein. Ain't gonna either away and die.

With the amount of exercise I do I just found out I’m was tremendously under eating protein- like to the point of low immunoglobulins and illnesses. Most women in my circle exercise like I do. It’s protein or carbs to stay in the right calorie range. Most skinny but flabby Europeans don’t exercise like we do in the UMC+ circles because sports were as accessible when they were growing up.

Stop lying to yourself Janice you’re not an athlete

Actually I played in junior Olympics when I was growing up - what do you know from your sofa clicking in at 300lbs of cellulite

Why do I hear glory days when I read this?

Again, read this to your therapist

You know she didn’t whip that sauce up, come on now. Do you also call pasta with Ragu meat sauce pasta bolognese?

My kids ate buttered noodles with their Italian grandma every time they see her

Do you know how easy it is to make penny à la vodka?

It’s almost as easy as pasta with butter.

This. Were you expecting OP to kill and pluck a chicken and do sautéed chicken breast with homemade sauce, for 2 people who may not even have been expected in advance? If I have unexpected guests, my go to is eggs, bread or pasta, fruit, and whatever fresh veg I have - usually celery or lettuce, but honestly, sometimes I’m down to cabbage. That’s pretty homemade. The only thing different for OP is not offering fruit or veg but maybe she had none on hand.

She made the mother a homemade vodka sauce. Did you not read that?

Did she “make” it or open the jar? I think she opened a jar based on her culinary expertise. I guess opening a jar is also homemade to some who really only order ubereats.

It’s really easy to make. I’m sure she made it.

It was rude. But maybe the guest had been having to hear about the authenticity of the Italian lunch and wanted something to say.

I guess one of my goals when I am planning a meal for guests is to not kill them, it's not the thing in the forefront of my mind. I also would like them to have a meal that they enjoy.

I think that pasta with vodka sauce is fine. It's got some veggies and protein from the dairy, albeit not a huge amount. But fine for a meal. But I would probably have asked if my guests kids wanted vodka sauce, not assumed they were as picky as your kid, and thrown a fruit or veggie on the plate.

Having said that, any faux pas in not offering sauce the the child is tiny compared to commenting like the guest did. That was way out of line.

This was an impromptu invitation. They were at the park, and OP said, hey, let's go back to our house and have lunch. It wasn't a pre-planned dinner party.
I have served cheese and crackers in a similar situation. The point isn't the meal.

I'm skeptical. It's not hard to make but would take a lot longer than buttered noodles.

I 100% doubt she made it.

I couldn't even fathom being handed a bowl of pasta and expecting that to be a meal. You don't need to be an almond mom or dad to know that any processed carbs are not healthy and that lean protein is important. I also find it funny that people think that ethnicity makes their opinions better for some things...my great aunt came from Italy so I'm an expert of pasta dishes. Who cares? Noone cares where your relatives came from. Some relative of mine came from Germany...does that make me an expert on making sausage? It's so ridiculous. The best was the poster who claimed to be part of the junior Olympics growing up...like that makes her/his opinion any better than others.

This is why you people don't have friends. You can't fathom a normal human interaction? You are out at a playground with several preschoolers. The kids are having fun, the other mom invites everyone back to their house around the corner for a quick lunch and more playtime and whips up a quick lunch of pasta. Then you stare, aghast, at the bowl, unable to FATHOM the hell you have found yourself in

6 yr olds aren’t in preschool. Do you have kids? Were they on spring break why are they not in school?
