About Time

My hubby has started showing interest in cooking. First, he bought this fancy and quite expensive cookbook from Reader’s Digest. Well, his main objective then was to join their contest but he could not have bought it if he was not interested. He knows my aversion to cookbooks so he intended to buy it for himself. And he told me so himself, that he will start learning how to cook really well. Sadly, (or should that be “as expected”?), not one tasty dish on the pages of that cookbook has materialized on our dining table – YET.
Then, just to nudge him a bit nearer his goal of learning how to become a good cook, I bought him a much simpler, smaller and less expensive cookbook. I was hoping that this will give him the impetus to start learning.
And then, yesterday, as if struck by a lightning of inspiration, he offered to do lunch. I was ecstatic but I did not show it. I wanted him to proceed at his own pace and in his own time. Unfortunately, he chose a time to cook when I could not eat so I contended myself with just seeing him at work and enjoy his own handiwork with his boys.
Well, it was not much and it did not require elaborate and savvy moves in the kitchen. Just pan-seared salmon fillet in butter with nutmeg and salt, some chips (or french fries as we call it back home) and fresh veggies on the side.
But there was pride in his eyes and delight on the boys’ faces as they sat down to a Good Friday meatless lunch.
Dig in, guys!
Hmmmm, I can see a vision of myself sitting down while the hubby labours in the kitchen to serve me sumptuous vegetarian dishes. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Zorlone, yeah the fries and dip were a bit of a compromise. otherwise, the kids will not eat the whole thing. thanks for dropping by!
