You don't understand the nature of Greek moms and grandmothers. Once they learn that a young lady is willing to use her recipes, the young lady instantly becomes daughter-in-law potential ;)

Does this work for Czech moms as well? If so, it might explain why my mother-in-law hates me. She wanted to teach me to make fruitcake once, and I'm like "I don't even like fruitcake." "But your husband does," she said. "Well, you should show him, then" said I. It's pretty much been downhill from there.

Yeah, that probably would explain why she doesn't like you. My x-father in law loved me to death once he found out I liked woodworking, which he loved, and was willing to have him show me how to do lots of woodworking things.

Diplomacy... Ask her for her recipe. Make it once- poorly. That way you've not only asked for her recipe, but can say you don't make it as well as she does. Her ego gets a boost, & you don't have to make that stuff again! ;)

Very good idea! Atleast then you have shown the attempt and she will say "I will make it for you" even if under her breath she says "because mine is better."

Next Sunday all the youth at my parish are getting together after Liturgy.

I'm sure I'll remember it to break the ice a little bit.
Please give us a full report of how it went!
