[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could kinda see having rice instead of noodles if she's going gluten free.  But if she's sneaking bits of things I certainly wouldn't use a special sauce for fear of trace contamination.[/quote]

But then she'll make a big effing deal about how she can't eat it because of the possibility.  Followed by stuffing a bite of noodle in her mouth in the kitchen when she thinks nobody is looking, or taking "just a taste" of the dessert.  ARGH![/quote]

I am a pretty straight forward person, so have you thought about just nicely saying "gee Susan, I'm confused on what you need from me since I prepared all this special food for you but then I see you eating the noodles anyways. Can you tell me again what you think I can do to help you?"
Or the next time, just call her and tell her what you're making, and when she protests just say that you are really confused and think it might be best if she brought some food she could eat "I really don't mind at all Susan since I just can't seem to follow what you need"

And that's that :)[/quote]
