[quote=Anonymous]I like Thai, Indian, Lebanese, and Ethiopian food, so that would be fine. And I'd be okay with cooking vegan or vegan-friendly (like a vegan meal with meat on the side), and with using whole grains and brown rice. But I'm not going to restock my pantry to indulge her "all-organic" fetish, especially if she's not chipping in for groceries. Personally, I'd make some accommodation, but when she comments about how we don't eat like she does, I would just cheerfully agree: "Nope, we don't!" And then eat another M&M and change the subject. Ignore passive-aggressive comments, or just blow them off with a cheerful, non-committal response. If she gets nasty about your cooking, then I'd just be blunt: "I'm sorry you don't like the meal. There's a stack of takeout menus if you'd like to order something else."[/quote]
