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.

I, um.

Usually I hate it when five million people chime in to give you advice or commisserate, particularly on a kind of minor point, but... I can't help it, here.

There was probably context and tone and all kinds of other things, but seriously. Things like that? That's not really OK.

/Is/ that OK? I mean, on your end of things?

I guess I took the comment with a combination of irritation and amusement. I think it was okay because a comment that blunt is actually rather rare.
