My husband and I argue all the time. We don't fight exactly. We debate, we nitpick, we give opposing views, we engage in hypotheticals, we try to persuade each other. And we both do this professionally. I'm an attorney, and he's a scientist who likes to take down others' research

What is your MIL's ethnic background, if you don't mind sharing? I'm curious because I've seen Israelis eat pretty healthy for the most part, but potatoes suggests Eastern European/Ashkenazi cooking roots to me, but if she make fun of it, I'm guessing she's not?

She's Persian. Apparently rice with potatoes in it is a Persian thing. I still can't wrap my mind around it.

Huh. I know there's a ton of interesting Persian rice dishes, but I had not heard of potatoes featuring in them. I will have to remember to ask our Persian-Jewish friend about it, because I'm having a hard time understanding why you'd want to mix the two... O.o
