It was the opening paragraph about the asparagus that I was talking about. I did understand that the rest of the post was about the Retirement Community food – which I agree with – if you know it’s going to dry out, why stuff it?

I can’t understand why the chef would stuff the meat if it was going to dry out…perhaps it was bad cut of meat anyway? Just seems odd–I agree with you!

I understood your post, just FYI. I think this was more of a reading comprehension issue than anything. In fact, if I’m reading correctly, even your grandma and her friends complain about the community’s food, so if anything you were *joining* her in her opinion.

Thank you for your comment. I would just like to say that I was not talking about my grandma’s cooking, but the food that is served in the dining room of her retirement community. It has been a long time since my grandma has cooked me dinner, but I was a lucky granddaughter when she did. She always served pickled beets even though I was the only one that liked them.

This post doesn’t paint you in the best light. I appreciate the idea of being a food critic, but it seems like you’re being a bit snotty about your grandmother’s cooking. It comes out rude.
