I wouldn't comment on, say, how to make a curry from scratch if I hadn't done it or researched it.


I know you are an excellent cook. I apologize. I've over-reacted to your comment.
I see that I have not been sensitive and as understanding as I should have been. This comes from many of us having completely different experiences than others in childhood and so the inclination comes sometimes unbidden to think...well, that's silly. I apologize to those I have been unkind and annoying to.
