Okay, does menopause affect tastebuds? We live with my parents, and Mum hates cooking, so I do it 90% of the time. And probably 70% of the time, she doesn't like it. Only the most basic meat & 3 veg meal will get through, as long as one of the veg is mashed potato and there isn't any other veg. Everything else gets at best a complaint, at worst thrown in the bin. It's driving me NUTS. I used to love cooking and creating things, but this is wearing me down. What's the point in trying to make something nice if it's not gonna be eaten, much less appreciated?

So, I guess I wanna be told that it's menopause, and not my cooking.
