In Switzerland I had another bad experience with my brother’s wife. My parents had their 40th anniversary and we were feasting in a 2 star (Guide Michelin high-class) restaurant. She cut me dead during the whole late lunch.

Summit that's hard to swallow - world leaders enjoy 18-course banquet as they discuss how to solve global food crisis

The dinner, and a six-course lunch, at the summit of leading industrialised nations on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S.

...I suggest you pick up How To Boil Water: Life Beyond Takeout by The Food Network. My MILNIL got me this book for Christmas. (She thought I'd be offended, but I LOVE it!) I am somewhat comfortable in the kitchen and can make a number of things, but I have a long, long way to go, and it's rare for me to complete a meal without asking for help, calling my mom, or getting really, really pissed off.
