does anyone else have a problem with a horrible cook in the family?

i absolutely hate it! well.. growing up my father was okay.. but is pretty lazy and simple.. i got really mad at him once because he microwaved too much.. and it got me sick.. so i started to do more of my own cooking.. about the only food of his he cooks well is meat. well.. he got remarried a few years ago.. and his new wife is a horrible cook.. it always gives me an upset stomach. and it is rude to not eat.. i even ate before dinner tonight.. and just had a few bites because it smelt good.. but it still gave me an upset stomach and it tasted bad.

what should i do? i hate crappy food! what would a polite way be to not have to eat her food at all.. i try to go out as much as possible.. but i still manage to be home some.

    As in yer case you could do someting like this:

    1) if you have braces whip up some quick tears and say they are killing you

    2) if you dont have braces than tell her that your feel very sick or something

    Well you could be allergic to something she puts in her food.

    I dont know you or your step mom but..

    If you are trying to be nice then I think you should ask your dad "man to man" if he likes her food and tell him your problem.

    or

    You could get her a one year thing to a cooking school or keep getting her giftcards for places to eat out.

    Haha Just playing..lol

    Try to buy some cooking books and try cooking by yourself or get some cooking tips from friends or relatives.

    Do more and you will be perfect in cooking.

    This is what I do.

    Who said male can't cook.

    Good food is vital in a "good family"!

    Teach her to cook or go to classes together!

    Show her you are interested in "GOOD" food, and she will become!

    Learn yourself, and cook your own!

    Any "bad" cook has got to be better than "Take Out"!

    Am I wrong?

    Totally! I mean, whenever I sneak into your house late at night and get into your refrigerator to eat the leftovers I'm horribly disappointed.

    I feel your pain.

    P.S. That cheese is a little moldy.

    Well just tell her that you have a sensitive stomach and only you know how to please it. Just watch it if you're with her in somebody else's house and their food is good lol.
