I am curious what was running through Delores' mind the night of the sleep over. Particularly during what can only be described as "The Dinner Rush". A preschooler and a toddler running around, a baby in the high chair, a grill going outside and multiple pans on the stove. She kept asking to help and I honestly had it under control. I made what I thought was a pretty good dinner; Sliced steak and chicken mixed grill with brown rice, peas and carrots steamed in stock and chardonnay. Served with a port and mushroom demi glace. I did it while feeding a baby, chatting with her and having some wine.
Seriously, it was a very nice picture of what could be possible and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I wasn't showing off, Ex used to eat like that 4-5 nights a week. But she sat on the couch watching tv asking how much longer.

some of what i was thinking was, "i couldn't do that" and some was, "he's trying to impress me by being the opposite of dh" and some was, "yeah he can do this because he has worked in kitchens," and the rest was, "i hope one day we can do this, just us, and he will let me help because i want to do it with him not because i am 'helping' but because i want to be with him."
ReplyDeleteI'll put it here so it doesn't get lost in the postings.
ReplyDeleteD- What you saw was real, I do it when you're not around. It was easier with you there, to be honest, because K normally slows me down. K had fun with P. I actually had an easier time. You were a guest. When you are "more than a guest", I will graciously accept your assistance. Then we can make it fun. It's a little difficult right now because we are so careful around the kids that they see us as no more than friends. I'm hoping on the "One Day" too. That would be great.
