Reflections From a Murky Pond

All Those Burnt Suppers Might Be For Good Reasons

It’s a classical trope in America – probably across the Civilized World – that a young couple will spend at least their 1st year together eating poorly cooked, burnt suppers. But, while all tropes have a basis in fact, this one is probably extremely misunderstood and paints the wrong picture.

If the cooking is constantly interrupted by other activities, the quality of the food is going to suffer. 😆

By and large, no matter how hard the day was, a fine American evening can bring it to a fine and pleasing conclusion.

Choose the proper blade for job at hand! O ye Gods and little fishes, it’s a pet peeve of mine – people using the wrong blade when the right one is right there, waiting to be used.

Here’s wishing all of us a happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful dinner. And, if the cooking is this good, just think how great that dinner will be. And don’t forget the pie for dessert. 😉

It’s Thanksgiving and, if you and your woman are hosting tonight’s feast, that means she’s likely going to be working hard in the kitchen most of the day. One, that is itself something to be grateful for. Two, kiss the cook – often and with intent.

You might also want to consider that pie – nudge, nudge, wink, wink – isn’t just an after dinner treat and won’t spoil your dinner. 😉

Separately, you might just ask yourself why you’re not in the kitchen too, helping make Thanksgiving dinner. C’mon, Gentlemen! Cooking is a basic life skill, not merely something controlled by gender roles.
