pegkerr: (Both the sweet and the bitter)

Tonight's dinner

I poached chicken breasts in wine and served with an herb sauce over the top, a puree of parsley, basil, capers, garlic, and non-fat yogurt. Yellow tomatoes from the garden were the accompaniment.

I thought it delicious.

Rob deemed it a mere three out of ten on taste and one out of ten on presentation. "It looks like vomit chicken," he said bluntly.

Yes, a woman must have nerves of steel to cook for this family.

Edited to add: I will say in Rob's defense that this was an unusually severe comment on his part. Usually he's more . . . diplomatic.

Peg, I think if I were you I'd make a little sign that said "You'll find bread, peanut butter and jelly in the kitchen. Make your own dinner and don't comment" and then hold it up at appropriate intervals. I don't know how your family turns down such marvelous food.
