Waves,
You might indeed be calmer and you have the migraine. Yesterday you had some room/space/time to yourself wherein you could air out the place. I wish you had that opportunity everyday.
I hate getting burns at the stove. 'Glad that lavender works.
Your father is like every man I have known -- interferes in the kitchen in non helpful ways. If the man is doing the dinner from start to finish by themselves that is one thing, but when they "contribute" it is usually not good and feelings can go bad. Thank goodness the food was fine because he was not allowed much input.
I wish I could taste your potato dish. I am sure it was good.
You did right to eat his share tonight when it is fresh and at the right temp.

That is annoying. Mom was not thrilled with your dish either.
I guess your dad needed to do his pout-y thing. Try not to take it personally when he acts like a child.
