[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]P.S.  There is something wrong here.  Who sautes a banana and makes a dipping sauce?

Sign of an eating disorder.[/quote]

Maybe she was planning to make bananas foster, and the kid took one of the ingredients?[/quote]

If this were the case, the natural reaction would be to get angry.  Not to saute the banana and make a sauce for it.  I mean, if I'm saving the yogurt for a sauce for the fish, and DH eats some of the yogurt, I get mad.  I don't whip up a PuPu platter and three deserts.[/quote]

OP again.  This is funny.  One of the last times I was with her, I had mentioned that I was going to have some cheese and crackers for a quick snack before heading out.  I returned a few minutes later to grab the cheese and crackers and found that she had already gotten out the food processor and was in the midst of making pimiento cheese for me.  EVERYTHING needs to be embellished.  No one in that house eats an apple or a handful of nuts.

But in general, we're very careful (for obvious reasons) and would never dare eat something that could be an ingredient in one of her planned meals.[/quote]

Eating disorder.  Anorexia, Bulimia, or Bulimarexia.  Totally.  She thinks about food all day long, plans elaborate recipes, and lives for food and feeding others.  It makes her angry when others do not eat everything, every bite, because she eats vicariously.  Does she pass the serving platters constantly during a meal?  "More Pesto Spaghetti with Mint?"   "More Homemade Garlic Bread?"  Is every meal a production number in terms of seating, setting the table, plates, etc.  Is she up early to cook?  Cleaning scrupulously?[/quote]

+1000

Definately an eating disorder, based on making elaborate meals that she does not touch and wants everyone else to enjoy the food she does not want to ingest. 
Plus she feels the need to be the top dog and show off her cooking skills, and then get praised for it through the whole vacation.  F that.
