This is a random one. Just for fun, more or less.
Not a huge problem in my life. But I've noticed that my mother in law always tells me she's ' cooked without oil ' and very ' little salt '.
Whenever she makes something and serves it, she always mentions this.
I personally don't ever mention that kind of thing when I cook for people. I don't particularly cook with lots of oil and salt, by any means. But I do use oil and salt when I cook and I'm starting to get paranoid her constant reminders of this, are some sort of dig ?
She also doesn't use stock cubes in her soups, I always do. She always mentions that she's not used stock cubes and no oil in her soup. She knows I use them.
She mentions it every time we eat together or she has cooked something.
Would you just take it at face value? She likes to remind everyone how healthy her cooking is ? Or is it more of a brag ? Or is it an actual dig and a way to tell me on the sly she thinks my cooking is unhealthy ?
She's the kind of person who repeats things a lot in general, until you do what she thinks is right. She also thinks how she does things is always best and tries to get her children to emulate her. She is very set in her ways and completely resistant to change or anything different/ new. She kind of sneers at people who try to do things different. She thinks she's quite superior and better than people. Her way, is the best way.
Again, not a huge problem in my life. Just interested what the general consensus is on this.
