[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.

No, the way the phrase has been used by notorious DCUM posters and difficult in-laws is different. They declare that the kitchen is closed at a certain point (like after breakfast) and no one, including house guests, are allowed back in the kitchen at all. [/quote]

In the post referred to in the OP here, the MIL served breakfast and then said the kitchen was closed until the big BBQ at 4:30. It sounds to me as though she was preparing the big BBQ in the kitchen. I have a small kitchen myself, so I totally get not wanting people underfoot while I’m trying to cook.
