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.

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?
