[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws are visiting for the week. Yesterday night, when we discussed about cooking, I asked them if I can make a particular dish for dinner and we all agreed. Few mins later, my mil checked the kitchen and said there are so many left overs. Rather we use those first, to which my DH agreed. She repeated the same thing at least 5 times by saying that good I checked the refrigerator. Its better to use the leftovers rather than cook new food. At first, I took it normally but after her repeating multiple times, I got annoyed but kept my patience.

I am still thinking about it. Am I overreacting?[/quote]

Next time you know they are coming, clean the heck out of the fridge.

My DH gets creeped out by leftovers. (Germs, in his opinion).

If I make something for dinner and want extras for lunch, I store it ASAP. It doesn't hit the table.

She may be trying to be supportive of your time and budget, but throw the food you don't want to see again out and the source of conflict disappears.[/quote]

I'm taking a DCUM break right now in the middle of cleaning fridge/pantry. Yes! It makes it so much easier to have a guest meal plan/holiday prep plan when you toss the bad stuff/stuff you wouldn't serve to guests, and stock up on what you know guests want/need/will be served for meals.

Thankful, though, that my DH eats leftovers. I'd never survive if we cooked every night![/quote]
