My family doesn't like my cooking. Most of the time, they won't even taste it, but they insist that it must be horrible. When they do taste it, they make a big show of gagging. My mom is usually better about it, but not always. Heck, my dad refused to try any of my mozzarella caprese salad, my brother gagged on it, and my mom was rather blasé.

They pity explodingcat for having to put up with my evident lack of culinary skill.. He assures me that he thinks I'm a wonderful cook and that I'm better than a lot of family cooks he knows. He gets paid to say all that, so I'm not sure I can trust him. After all--his father is a gourmet chef... boy could just be trying to make me fell better.

I'm starting to get paranoid.

If I've cooked for you, did you like it or hate it? Be honest. I won't poison you the next time I have you over for dinner.

My family acts the same way about my cooking, partially because of an ill-fated recipe for "zippy carrots" as part of a 4-H project when I was about 10, and partially because I don't cook anything containing meat. They really love it though. I just know they do. At least, I tell myself so.

I'll pass the official verdict on your cooking once I make that curry recipe you posted quite a while back that's still tacked up in my kitchen. :-)
