[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you’re being too sensitive.  He’s not rejecting your food or complaining about it.  Unless he has a bad attitude when he makes his additions, I think it’s fine to make additions.  I’m sure you’re a great cook, but people sometimes have different tastes.

Salsa is a very popular condiment. Would you be equally offended if he added a little salt to his food? Pepper? Hot sauce?  Maybe he’s just having a craving.  Sometimes, I crave weird things (onions, mustard, tuna, etc.). I generally don’t know why, but I feel better after I satisfy the craving, so I assume it’s meeting sone sort of nutritional need.

I’m not sure why he would have put the lasagna in the soup (but now I kind of want to try it).  Maybe he was extra hungry or thought the lasagna looked so good he wanted to have some too, and didn’t want to dirty an extra dish?

The point is that he does seem to appreciate your cooking, but also has his own preferences which can be different from yours without being an indictment of yours.  I think even “foodies” are allowed to have different preferences, and while his may be unconventional, it doesn’t make them any less valid.

[b]You're taking me much too seriously. [/b]Maybe all the crazy DCUMers on here. I love him. It annoys me to cook something, and yes, have him immediately smother it in canned salsa before trying. I view this as bad manners but it's a foodie thing, I accept that not everyone is a foodie. I have plenty of my own bad habits that he puts up with. [/quote]
People are “taking you” as you have posted. It seems you don’t like the reflection. [/quote]
