skin of teeth post - before the clock strikes 12

an update.
to yesterday's post about other half's cooking.
the curry thing.
well today,
i had another phone call on my way home from work.
wanting to know where i was as dinner was ready.
(we eat early in our neck of the woods.
it's something that comes as you get older i think.)
oh-oh that made me nervous.
visions of left-over scorching hot curries danced in my head.
what are we having? i asked after taking a big breath.

steak pies, mashed potatoes, broccoli and gravy was the answer.

BIG  relief.

when i got home and we sat down to eat i confessed that i had written about his curry on my blog yesterday.

in m.o.h's opinion my blog and everything to do with it is a bit strange.
he doesn't read it and as long as i don't talk about it too much he doesn't ask questions.
he seemed quite interested tho'.
so i broke it down for him and explained what i had written about.
then we laughed about it.
things are looking up i thought.

he said he didn't actually want to read it but was glad that i hadn't made him out to be some kind of rotten cook who didn't know how to make a curry.
as if!
i told him that i was afraid there'd be leftovers today if he hadn't taken them into work for lunch for him and his coworker.
let's call his coworker fred.
oh fred enjoyed the curry said m.o.h.
when he got back from the bathroom that is.
fred said it cleaned out his colon and his middle intestine.
it went thru him like a porsche.
m.o.h. was pleased as punch about that.
a good meal and a laxative all in one.
not only is he a chef, he's specialising in interior medicine to boot.

they were both happy about that.
m.o.h. and fred.
it must be a guy thing.

it's funny how different we are, me and m.o.h.

i enjoyed the pie.
it was nice and hot.
but not spicy.

off to bed.
can't wait to see what we are having for dinner tomorrow night.
