OUR KITCHEN

Posted on 03:31 by Harry
Just a little anecdote I don't want to forget. 

Zhen and I were watching Iron Chef, and there was a commercial referring to your kitchen being the best place in your house.  Our kitchen is terrible.  Terrible.  So I asked Zhen, "What is the best room in our house?"  He said, "The living room - or Sergei's room."  (Sergei's room is a perfect boy-cave.)  

I said, "Yes; our kitchen is not a very nice room."  And after a moment, he said sort of wistfully, "A lot of amazing things come out of there, though."

I'm not that good a cook - or I should say dedicated a cook - so I was really touched.

Later in the evening he said, "You'll have to give my wife your sloppy joe recipe.  Or, maybe you could just keep making them for me forever."
