Cooking for Two, Part 2
All that to say that I did NOT post the correct bit the day after I posted the first one and that I've been gone for two weeks.
Anyways, to continue:
The other day, which, if I had posted when I should have would have been yesterday, but now it's not....Scrap that.
The other day, I decided to make a somewhat complicated meal for two. One thing I have known for quite a while is a complicated meal should not be made in small amounts. If you must make a complicated meal, make it so that you can have multiple servings.
But I didn't want leftovers.
Meaning I had to make it for two.
So thus I began. I had decided that a half an hour would be my aim for making this meal, and, when I finished, I had barely squeaked by. As it was, I had broken four coffee cups, shattered three water glasses, burned two fried pita breads, left a huge scorch mark on the ceiling, and generally wrecked mayhem in the kitchen.
But the meal was very good.
And nobody noticed the scorch marks, as they came off with a bit of scrubbing, the pita bread could get thrown out and replaced, we have an overabundance of coffee mugs, and water glasses can be replaced at your nearest garage sale.
All done in 1/2 hour! Don't you feel proud of me?
Alright, that's not what really happened, but that story isn't half as interesting...What good is life without exaggeration?
