Dear Amy: The community I live in has many people who are so rabid and strident in their political positions that they can’t seem to shut up about it at a lunch or dinner party.I feel strongly about issues that are important to me, too, but I do not enjoy listening to people ranting.I recently had lunch with friends, and one woman, “Barbara,” launched into politics (as usual). When I pointed out that “friends who don’t talk politics stay friends,” Barbara laughed it off and continued her diatribe. At this point, I don’t think she can help herself. Is my only option to quit having lunch with Barbara and others like her?

Ask Amy: Response to cooking leaves a bad tasteDear Amy: I learned how to cook from my mother, grandmother, and aunts -- who all lived under the same roof. In a Latin family like mine, it was a given that women learned to cook.I loved being among these wise ladies. Fast-forward to now. I am married to a wonderful man. Although he’s not Latin, he has fully embraced my family and culture. My husband comes from a small family and his mother likes having everyone over for dinner. The problem is that this woman cannot cook and she has no interest in learning.
