I know the feeling! The first christmas after I got married I cooked
christmas dinner for my grandparents (who raised me). My grandmother
called when they got home after dinner and told me that my grandfather
said "that one one of the best meals that I've ever had..I didn't know
she could cook like that". I almost cried..I never get compliments from
my grandfather....
