Grits
Since the birth of the little boom I have been making all the meals we eat in the house. The good lady has managed to dodge out of cooking anything with a variety of new mum excuses.
Oh, the little one wants a feed.
or
Oh, my vagina is still sore.
However, I just returned to work and as part of my corporate slavery I am not around to be whizzing up a storm in the kitchen each day.
Last night I returned home from work. It had been a long and trying day and I felt that some good nosh would revitalise me.
Want me to throw some tasty food together?
I yodelled from the hallway as I got in the door.
Oh no Daddy, I got this one!
I walked into the lounge. There was the good lady standing proudly by the dinner table. Two bowls were sitting there, the contents within steaming away. She beckoned me over and I sat down. Ah, this was nice.
I wouldn't have minded making something lass. I know you have been busy with two kids today.
It was the least I could do what with it being your first day back.
She was beaming. Her excitement and happiness was infectious. Smiling, I looked down at my bowl. It contained some brown bitty concoction with black bits.
I looked up at the good lady aghast.
Is this grits???
What, no?! It's Tuna and Olive pasta.
I looked suspiciously at the pile of stuff in the bowl and surreptitiously pulled my phone out for a quick googling. Hmm, no, it definitely wasn't grits, although grits looked equally as awful.
Why doesn't it look like pasta?
The good lady's cheeks reddened.
I might have overcooked it a little. If you don't want it you don't have to eat it.
The good lady's voice quavered slightly.
My inbuilt danger danger radar began to ping. I quickly forked some of the brown muck into my mouth.
Eurgh, it was fetid. Like soggy pieces of skin.
I stretched my lips apart in a big grin and looked at the good lady .
Mmmm, its actually yummy! Thanks and well done you!
She eyed me suspiciously.
I put on my very best I love eating shit face and got to work.
How do you know this?
A man should never be asked how he knows this milady. ;0D
I am always a martyr to my curiosity, Sir ;)
Hehe, I would expect nothing less!
Meesterboom turning out to be a good Masterchef.
As always!
I love my husbands cooking, maybe I must try your lady's trick.
Hehe, I never thought of that although it is something I jokingly accused her of long ago!!
smart man, boom.
May this be a lesson to all of you guys out there....No time to be picky...ever!...when the lady has done the cooking ;o) (and the shopping, and the cleaning, and the laundry, and the kid-feeding etc)
ALtho, may I add... I've seen your cooking, boom, right here on steemit, and she is a lucky one!
Hehe, my cooking certainly does hit the spot!
I am more than happy to do it too. Just this time I wasn't fast enough. Made it tonight though! :0)
good job!
It was, a spicy devil of a taste sensation! :0D
lol
I usually use a face like your "I love eating shit" face when my hubby make the coffee for me :D
I can be like that with coffee too. ITs almost not worth making it for me How much water did you put in? How much coffee? LOL!
Hahahahahahahaha!!! Love the way you narrate these little stories from your personal life. Grits! Hahaha! The good lady has
Hehe, I love telling a story it must be said! :0)
I like the way you tell your stories. It's just as if I was there. It's so lively and funny to read. So thanks, and I hope to read a lot more in the future.
Hehe, thank you very much. I do love to hear that they are readable and come across ok :0)
You're Danger Danger Shark had me laughing even louder than the other 27 guffaws. Am I to assume the good lady does not read all of these marvy wonders you produce? This one might get you a big old can of Alpo and an opener next to the plate next time.
She quite often reads them but only at my prompting. I think I will give this one a miss though, can't have her rumbling my true thoughts on the dinner ;0)
Lol. So much good stuff in here, boom.
"Oh, my vagina is still sore." Hmm... I haven't had a baby but I wonder if it would work more generally? 🤔
I think it's worth a try. There ain't much you can come back with when that one is thrown atcha!! :0D
Maybe I'll try it at crossfit this afternoon if there's something I don't like in the workout.
Yeah, it will work a treat I can almost guarantee it!!! :0D
"corporate slavery" Here's to steemit going up to a proper value so you can end the slavery mate!
I've expericed those 'new mum excuses' myself. The very idea!
The excuses are outrageous. I am close to demanding to be unionised!! ;0)
Heres to steem rising!
