So my mother decided she wants to make a cookbook. Yes, that's right, a cookbook. Okay for those who don't know (most likely all of you) my mother isn't the best of cooks >.>' and I'm not saying this to be mean. She will just throw random things into her dishes (mainly because I use certain spices in things one normally wouldn't put in certain dishes), but she doesn't think "What would this taste like?" and "Will others like it?" before putting it in there. It's just for some reason she believes she is the best cook ever. She will tell people, even complete strangers, that they are cooking a certain dish all wrong and that they should do this instead.
Okay, I know its nice to put suggestions out there every now and again, but not constantly. I swear one of the pizza guys couldn't get away fast enough. Poor Guy. Even some of my friends ask me if she is serious.
But here's the thing, the one thing that is pissing me off, about this who cookbook idea. My mother is taking other people's recipes, like from already published cookbooks. Recipes she has never in her life made, nor tried, and putting them into her cookbook. The day I caught that, I thought to myself "You can do that it's plagiarism!" And when I ask her what she was doing, and told her that those weren't her recipes, she said they are now because I added a few things. -insert facepalm- Alright, I know most recipes have been passed around hundreds of times. And that its what you do, try a recipe and change it up to make it your very own, but my mother hasn't even tried half of these recipes. So I asked how she knew it would taste right with said extra ingredients and she just looked at me like I was an idiot.
Sigh, this woman I swear, and there's no way to tell here she can't, because she won't listen. No matter what you tell her, it goes in one ear and out the other, That or it doesn't go in at all.
She has gotten mad at me several times, because I won't eat the food (not because I'm being picky, but because it doesn't taste good)and also because I won't give her the recipes to anything I make.
If she's not adding ingredients, then she is changing the name. To everyone she is ripping off, I am sorry.
