I had an aunt who couldn't cook if Paula Deen was standing right next to her. Seriously, she made potato salad by pouring milk over cold potatoes. When we finally found something she could make well (macaroons), we kept her making those.
But I digress. One Christmas at her house, she showed us two cookbooks that friends had given her and said, "My friends must think I'm a gourmet or something - I always get cookbooks from them!" A quick look at her one shelf proved that to be true. None of us had the heart to tell her the
real message that they were sending!
I'm fairly lucky - I can't think of anything too terrible I've received. Which means that this will probably be the year!
