I agreed to help my MIL today. First it was cleaning out a shed then it was hoovering and shampooing the carpets. But then she told me late morning that we were going to make empanadas which are like savory pies. I sautéed a bunch of mushrooms for the filling in mine (I'm vegetarian.) and though we told my FIL what it was for he served himself a heaping spoonful at lunch. Ugh, my FIL comes home from work for his wife to make him lunch. He can't do anything food oriented by himself. Today he couldn't even figure out how to toast a lavash.

Sorry, I needed to vent momentarily. You can probably tell, I just got home from that experience. ...and I'm having increasing challenges in my relationships with them.

That's enough though. I'm happily home with my family now.
