Dear Amy: I learned how to cook from my mother, grandmother, and aunts -- who all lived under the same roof. In a Latin family like mine, it was a given that women learned to cook.I loved being among these wise ladies. Fast-forward to now. I am married to a wonderful man. Although he’s not Latin, he has fully embraced my family and culture. My husband comes from a small family and his mother likes having everyone over for dinner. The problem is that this woman cannot cook and she has no interest in learning.

Dear Not Hungry: Whatever message is delivered, I suggest that you should NOT be the person to do it. You are justifiably proud of your culinary tradition, but you are dealing with someone who did not grow up in that same tradition and quite obviously will not embrace it. Invite your mother-in-law to your home for meals, and let her know that if she is nervous about eating your food, she can bring her own, but that you will always set a place for her, because, as you know - love and kinship surrounding the table are the most important ingredients of all.I recently asked a church in my hometown for permission to have meetings there.I know this is a lie because they just added on to the church two years ago.
Accusing them of lying is unwise and unkind. Fortunately, there are options for meetings in other local spaces, as well as online .Dear Amy: Your recent letter from “Distressed Dad” really made my blood boil. His 20-year-old daughter lied that she had been vaccinated for COVID, when she had not.
