Don't laugh!  It happens.  I used to bring my lunch to work and

hush, I have convinced Don it's not broccoli and he loves Gai Lan).

 
In this case, she wasn't an "old" manager in any sense of the word
(old or former).  She was the department supervisor at the time,
about 30 years old to my then 44.  And yes, she noticed I brought
homemade lunches to work nearly every day.  She was one of those
people who went clothes shopping on her lunch break and her lunch
consisted of fast food.  She didn't really know how to cook.  I
didn't mind telling her how to make mashed potatoes but I certainly
was surprised she waited until a Sunday afternoon to inquire.  I
suspect she had invited a new boyfriend over for dinner and realized
ooops, don't know how to make mashed potatoes.  So she called me.

Oh my!  I can see it!  Next thing you get is 'what's a peeler'
(snicker).

I get calls at home but not former co-workers (retired now).  Rather
just friends around me, looking to see if I have (insert whatever it
is, often a spice).

Once to come over and show a basic white sauce starting with basic
roux.  Hey, that one was ok.  She was 19 and trying to make a dinner
for her boyfriend and got tangled in the instructions.  Something
simple to do, but the directions were awkwardly put.  She'd not done it
before or seen it done.  Esther Taft, lived next door as a renter.
