Date Night Part 2

Self,

Due to the complex situation and extenuating circumstances a portion of my date from Saturday was postponed from Saturday until Monday.

Since I have an idea of what the meal DATEE is planning to make I know that there isn't any vegetable on the menu. After I get off work, I run to the store and get some Brussels Sprouts and plan to make that to have with the food he intends to prepare.

DATEE arrives and I let him do his thing in the kitchen. he pulled the pan of Mac & Cheese out. He rinses and drains the chicken thighs. He fills the pot that the chicken is in with just enough water to cover the thighs and starts the fire. He goes to sit on the sofa and starts to watch a DVD, while I'm working on some paperwork for a client. Some where in the cooking process of for the chicken, he pours a bottle of teriyaki marinade into the boiling water. When he tells me that the chicken should be ready in about 20 minutes that's when I go into the kitchen to start the brussels sprouts. When the sprouts were about done he checks and tastes his Macaroni and decided that he would really like to have more cheese, so we walk around the corner to the store he gets some more cheese. I grate it over the top of the pan for him and he puts it back in the oven.

When it ready he fixes our plates and we sit on the sofa to eat and finish the DVD he had started. When the movie is over we talk for a while about several things, but of course his cooking is one of the topics of discussion. No I didn't just tell him his cooking sucked or anything like that. I told him I wasn't fond of his mac & cheese and that maybe I'll make mine for him to show him an alternative recipe. The chicken wasn't bad, I would have done it very differently, but it worked. He says he really liked the sprouts, even though it had onion and he says he doesn't like onions, (a fact I didn't know until too late.)

Sincerely,
Pharaoh
