My wife and I are made for each other. I found her in the kitchen tonight, working over...

...a cutting board. I asked her what she was making. She said she was "making dinner".

"Oh. What are we having tonight?" asked I.

"I don't know yet", came her reply. "I've got some garlic done, but I don't know what I'm going to serve with it yet!"

LOL...I knew I had made am impression on our son

when he was in college and decided that the meal plan was not for him.

He said he had an electric wok and a hot plate. I asked if he needed recipes. The answer was "Doesn't every recipe start with 'saute some garlic in a pan'"?

 
I can so relate...at our house...

the usual question is "Where's dinner going tonight?" to which I usually respond, "I don't know, I'm not there yet."

 
So funny, dinner is the first thing on my mind when I get up in the morning

and by 10:00 am or earlier I have mise en place.
Then I don't worry all day. When hubby asks, "whats for dinner?" I tell him to check the mise en place. He usually figures it out. One time he said, what does carrots, onions, garlic, and sweet peppers make. I said "a braised roast"
Of course, that led into another conversation.
Ya gotta love it!

 
Priceless!

Maybe she should look for a part time job in a restaurant here in LA called "Versailles" - a great Cuban restaurant, very affordable, authentic, delicious food

but, boy, oh boy - do they love garlic! I had their special chicken which is served on a pool of liquid garlic with a touch of lemon - I was sweating garlic for a couple of days.... smileys/smile.gif

 
I've had it! Also try Havana Mania in Redondo Beach - their Ropa Vieja is TDF!

And their Tres Leches Cake is the best I've ever had in a restaurant
