In the Kitchen Without Rachel Ray

My husband works in a small office. Everyone is within earshot of each other. So when I call him, our conversations go like this:

Me: What do you want to do for dinner?

Him: We can have . . .

Me: What?

Him: From the freezer . . .

Me: Peas?

Him: No.

Me: Ice?

Him: No.

Me: Oh! You mean the chicken nuggets. What’s the matter? You don’t want everyone in your office to know YOUR WIFE FEEDS YOU FROZEN CHICKEN NUGGETS?

Him: They’re tender . . . s.

For the Record – Tonight’s Dinner: chicken nuggets (excuse me, I mean tenders), peas, and ice. I’ll even light a candle or two.

Ha! Notice it was Ron that wanted the chicken nuggets. Who are you to argue?

P.S. I have a secret sauce recipe that goes great with chicken...tenders.

Secret sauce? Do share? Our secret sauce is mustard.

"They're tender...s" - love it! High gourmet compared to our conversations on the same topic where the merits of Cheerios are often featured.

If a meal involves heat of any form that = a romantic, well-planned dinner in our house. Ain't no shame in the chicken tender-nuggets!
