Tonight's dinner

[pegkerr]

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.

Setting aside the phrasing, we've had good luck by serving the meat plain and putting the sauce on the side, or even in a gravy boat, so people can take it or leave it. That way some people can have their plain poached chicken, and others can have more sauce that would otherwise go to waste.

Sounds yummy to me.
