He Tries So Hard...

I made dinner tonight, b/c Herr Dr. Delagar took the kid to Aikido.  I made a fine recipe Zelda gave me, involving chicken, sweet potatoes, cumin, olive oil, and slow baking.  Filled the house with an excellent smell.

So after dinner I ask HDD, "How'd you like dinner?"

"It was really good," he says, sounding utterly sincere.

One long beat.

"Next time let me cook," he adds, with no change in tone at all.

Well, he is an excellent cook with a feel for fine cuisine. So, he does have a point. But that chicken recipe cannot be messed up. What did you do?

He said I should have used clarified butter rather than olive oil as the fat base. I think it was great, myself. You know HDD.
