Crumbs in the butter and other Pet Peeves!

After slaving over a hot stove or oven for hours cooking someone's requested meal, and hearing....

"This is good Ree....

BUT NOT AS GOOD AS MINE..."

it's called a backhanded compliment, meant to "sound" polite, but it's actually a slam directed right atcha.

I'm sure you have heard other versions...

You look great in that suit, too bad your gut sticks out....

A friend called them poison sandwiches....something delish wrapped in moldy bread.

It's a "you are not good enough" message meant for your solar
plexus.
