When I came across this picture, I was moved and first person that came to my mind was my grandpa.
One day my uncle got angry at his pregnant wife over bad cooking. My grandpa called him and asked..
Grandpa: before she became pregnant, does she add excess or insufficient ingredients to the food she cooks?
Uncle: No
Grandpa: was she a great cook?
Uncle: Yes.
Grandpa: does she prepare the meal on time?
Uncle: Yes
Grandpa : You see son, when you eat her tasteless food during her pregnancy, you have to eat it with love, let the sweat of her skin while she prepares the meal be the honey that sweetens the food in your mouth, let the love she cookes the food with be enough for to fill your heart with joy. Learn to tolerate and don't nag, correct her in love because it's not her but the pregnancy, it's affecting her tastebud just like morning sickness. You would be an ingrate to insult and refuse her food after going through a lot of stress in her condition to cook. She is carrying my grand son. Respect her.
Grandpa called my uncle's wife and advice her to call on grandma to taste the food whenever she is cooking, in order to reduce friction and please her husband.
Google can't teach you that.
