quiche then omelet . too eggy?? too main mealy?

[11112222]

We had quiche, salad and baked potato for lunch.
I offered MIL an omelette for tea and she said it was too main mealy.
I'm wondering now if is too much egg.
I really can't seem to please her.
Minor point I know, but I've had 4 days of her….

…but not eggs 😂

Quiche and omelette in a day is too much egg. Sorry. Hope MIL leaves soon.

I wouldn't do either of those things, lol.

Mmm I love eggs. I was just thinking earlier of all the different ways I love egg on toast. I could eat that for any meal. It's a PITA catering for people who don't just say thank you very much.

I really want an omelette now. Was it going to be a cheese omelette 😋

Me neither. It's the exact same principle.

Clearly I have no principles...

plenty here in Hertfordshire

Agreed- eggs make many people’s digestive system a bit slow, she probably thought you’d prefer her to say that than announce flatulence and constipation!

😁

If someone else was offering and preparing, I wouldn't complain.

What did she have for tea in the end?

Too eggy.

When you say 'for tea', do you mean afternoon, high or northern dinner? Too main mealy for afternoon tea for sure, and maybe a bit that way for high.

But definitely too eggy after quiche. Digestive systems don't always cope so well as you get a bit older.

Could someone please explain what “main meal” means?

eggs are one of the foods that best agrees with my digestion so I often happily eat them twice in a day. Quick, clean protein and can be made so many ways.

Perhaps your MIL is used to only eating one main meal a day. I find omelette really filling and as others say - two egg based meals in a day. A sandwich / toast / tin of soup?

I know, I know. Too much egg. But I’m so stressed having her here I didn’t really think.
I was thinking what can I give her that’s not too much.
we get given loads of eggs from neighbours by the way! (But also supermarket too.)
im just fed up with her really. My house is not clean enough, bed sheets not fresh enough (fresh on), skirting boards too dirty, I could go on…….
all this is said when Dh is not around of course.
roll on tomorrow.

Oh, well if she's like that eggs on toast for breakfast then! 🍳

That's too much egg in a day for old people. Very binding! 🤭

I think too eggy. I understand why she thought it may have been too main-mealy, as older people quite often have smaller appetites and an omelette would be quite a substantial meal. (I am now an older person and wish my appetite had shrunk! Sadly not...) However she shouldn't have said anything. Maybe do something like soup, or cheese and biscuits or something in future?

Beans on toast, cheese on toast, tomatoes on toast, sausage roll with potato salad, tuna melts, toasties...

But honestly, she sounds so rude I don't know why you make any effort whatsoever. Everytime she complains, give her the cleaning tools, and say, thanks so much for pointing that out.
She's a cheeeeeeeky fuckahhh!

Does she not eat meat?

What are you planning for dinner for yourselves?

I think she’s saying she’s had a main meal
for lunch so would prefer something lighter for tea , omelette is quite heavy and too many eggs can make people ‘egg bound’. Something like a few salad bits and a protein (non egg) maybe or cheese on toast ?

Bloody hell, an omelette is too heavy for an evening meal?

I got 24 from Tesco this morning. They’re not hard to find.

Why did you want to eat eggs twice in one day? Is it that you have no groceries or are unable to cook due to time or skill? Or simply a big egg fan?

Oh I just read your second post, her displeasure with your home, sorry. She doesn't sound like she is the best company. What did you give her in the end?
