Ahh, this made me smile :3 Thankfully, my mum's cooking isn't as bad as Althea's mum's dishes, haha. That and my mum doesn't even cook for me now since she lives in a different house xD The last time she did cook for me though, it was garlic chicken kievs which were quite tasty!
I totally understand Althea's horror at no fresh veg in the fridge though x3 My lunch every day only consists of fruit and veg, haha.
