to find it hysterical that my MIL thought my new playdough was pastry

and then proceed to explain how you make pastry properly to me, the daughter of a chef, who grew up in a restaurant!

I have a bag of plain coloured playdough in teh fridge and a bowl with a lump of pastry in. I ask MIL to get the pastry out for me and go and change DD's nappy, I come back to see she has started rolling out my playdough and is looking less than impressed.
AND THEN, when I explained it was playdough and would possibly taste like shit if I made quiche out of it, she still felt the need to explain how you make fecking pastry properly!!

(disclaimer - my MIL is lovely, but a little singleminded at giving advice!)

I wish she had made a pie out of it

this really is Amusing Playdough Anecdote Week isn't it?

I really was tempted to make quiche with it, but it was for DD, not her, so I didn't.

Next time I will

That is funny! She was probably just desperately embarrassed, and trying to cover for herself.
