Acetylene, I'm going with your method of eating less at the dinner table. I tried it tonight and my m-i-l didn't seem to notice.
Snowy, that mac & cheese experience sounds horrid! Also not unlike a typical meal around here. She adds between 1/8C and 1/4C of salt to every meal. We're talking about HUGE quantities that leave a grittiness to the food and an inescapable salty residue in my mouth.
Cadre, thank you for your advice. I don't eat meat, so I'm good there. When I cook for myself I use no salt. No matter how much I use, my husband will pour the salt shaker on it anyway, so I make it the way I like and let him do his thing. I prefer spices to salts. But I do not cook here. So between now and a month from now I just need to make sure I don't eat much of what my husband's family puts in front of me.
Going to drink plenty of water, too.
