Oh man, I feel your pain. My MIL loves to cook and she used to be quite good but these days, it's all fried crap. She even warms up pizza by frying it. No kidding. Everything is better with bacon, dontcha know? DH and I eat a primarily whole foods diet and that fried stuff just kills our digestive tracts. Take Pepto before you go, have some ready for just after and have the really soft, cushy TP for your sore rear when you get home. I'd suggest taking something along, to add to the meal, to lessen her work, to show your appreciation for what she does...whatever....something that is kind to your body that you can tolerate.

It's amazing how some folks can tolerate that all the time and others can't at all. Be kind to your digestive system, that's what I say!
