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.

Feh.

He could stand to lose a few pounds anyhow.

True, but she failed to note that I ate every bite, despite the appearance.

Couldn't we all? I'm glad you ate it, though.
