The theme this week is:
WORST DINNER EXPERIENCE
or
YOUR BEST DINNER EXPERIENCE
or maybe even WHAT you would make us for dinner if we came to your house?
Mommy Brain even suggested we could write a purely fictional story... but my head is hurting and I don't feel very creative today. So, I'll tell you my Worst Dinner Experience. At least the worst meal I ever prepared.
My hubby loves to tell this story when anyone talks about honesty in a marriage.
We were newlyweds, just a few months in, and I was really enjoying cooking. Trying new recipes and making all sorts of goodies. Hubby's mom is a very good cook. She's also the type that has dinner every night at 6PM sharp. Now, I've never gotten the hang of that, I think it was 8:30 or 9 before we ate last night, (Who wants dinner when you could be outdoors in 70 degree weather?) but I can make a mean casserole or pot roast.
So, one day I found this recipe for Tuna Pie. Now there are two words that probably shouldn't be together... Tuna and Pie. And, rightfully so, but I had the ingredients and so I made it. I don't remember what was in it exactly other than it had a crust and tuna and some sort of shrimp condensed soup.
Well, hubby came home, we ate it and he said it was good.
So, a few weeks go by and I make it again. We sit down to dinner and I make his plate of tuna pie while I proceed to make me a plate of left-over spaghetti or something of the like that I had left over. And, he looks at me and says, "why are you eating that and not this?" To which I honestly reply, "I didn't like that." After looking at me like a deer in the headlights he says, "Well, neither did I, but I didn't want to hurt your feelings. Actually, this is the worst stuff I've ever tasted!"
We both laughed, I threw out the tuna pie, and hubby learned a valuable lesson... lying to your wife gets you in much trouble!!
Ha Ha....that is funny.,
ReplyDeleteThat is hysterical :) I agree...tuna and pie don't sound like they belong together.
ReplyDeleteTuna Pie! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteBless your husband for trying to support your cooking efforts. Mine is so appreciative of every meal, but I can always tell if he really likes what I make - he goes back for seconds.
My mom is a 6pm sharp kinda cook, too ... makes me crazy! And she calls it supper, which must be a Midwest word?!
lol. When I was still at home, my dad had to be at work by 6 pm, so we always ate early around 5:00 like old people. So, I still eat early to this day. I would die of starvation if I waited any later-haha.
ReplyDeleteThat is hysterical!! I love it!
