[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, maybe I’m wrong, but I interpreted the post about the closed kitchen to mean that the MIL was in there preparing the food for the big dinner and didn’t want other people in the kitchen while she was trying to work. I assumed she had a small kitchen and didn’t have space for other people in there while she was cooking.

This is the only way I’ve heard that expression used- just that the cook needed to use the space and there was no room for other activities in the kitchen during the prep for the big meal.

Yeah, I say that to my small kids when I’m cooking dinner in the galley kitchen and want them to stay out. I may give them a vegetable or cheese as I’m preparing it though - they are more likely to taste it that way! We also say it about other rooms. Dining room is closed because daddy is cleaning up; living room is closed because the cat barfed and we have to clean it up, etc.

Never have I denied a visitor food. I have learned to keep a store of extra dried apricots and pistachios for my in laws who love to snack on them. [/quote]

So guests are supposed to eat dried apricots in lieu of lunch at your. House?   Crazy!!!

What? Of course not. We serve 3 meals a day pus morning snack for the small kids. If visitors want more food they can help themselves outside of meal times. But we don’t tend to have a lot of snack stuff on hand other than the stuff I know our frequent visitors want, like apricots and pistachios. My in laws can inhale bags of them. I usually shop once for the week and buy only what we need. We have a tiny kitchen, no pantry - I wouldn’t have room to store much. So I’m selective when it comes to keeping snacks or other non perishables. [/quote]

Your writing style is really tedious and annoying. [/quote]
