I would have my cooking validated and maybe shared something I like and am proud of. Her not trying them was a hit to my pride because I get to thinking about the best case scenario then start to expect it, it's dumb, but I do. But I knew the risk was there and tried anyway...

Is that making sense?
Well maybe... All I’ll say if if you happen to pass by the SF Bay Area and bring me fish tacos, I promise I won’t complain
