Is This the Best Meal I’ve Ever Had or Is It Just Mom’s Cooking Reheated in a Tupperware?

No need to admit if you’re broke. This is a universal question.

You go home to your parent’s house to visit for a weekend, and obviously you must return back to your apartment with at least 5 tupperwares of her cooking, 7 rolls of toilet paper, one pack of blue masks, 3 cartons of eggs (not the bitch-ass dozen packs from the regular store, the 60 COUNT PLATTER from costco), and your freshly pressed laundry. Why would you even bother going to the store when you get back to your place? While you spend the following days defrosting and reheating those 5+ tupperwares of mother’s cooking, you can’t help but wonder if this is the best meal you’ve ever had or if it’s just your mom’s cooking in a tupperware. She used to serve her leftovers at the dinner table in reheated glass tupperware and that shit absolutely went crazy. Is it her? Or the tupperware? The mind sees what it chooses to see.
