| See I'm sure he loves me despite, my failures. Right? |
"Oh Lis..........this is not your best attempted confection." That was the comment I got from my most dearly beloved Jimmy Bob. He said it with the most tenderness he could muster as he tried to gag down this mornings breakfast coffee cake. Ok I probably should have named the confection SOS. You know...........Poop On a Shingle. I couldn't take offense. I had actually asked him if he liked the before mentioned breakfast as I smuggly tried to swallow the dry piece of yuckiness. Buttermilk syrup to the rescue, and all in the family were able to at least swallow most of the mess. I know you're wondering how this could have happened at the Clawson home, but my dear loved ones let me just reassure you I have phenominal failures in the kitchen! Quite frequently if you can believe it. Just ask my Jimmy. Actually don't. He'll just tell you how wonderful I am, and thin, and how everything I do is touched with gold. Let's just let him keep thinking this. That's why I love him so much!
I wonder............does anyone else ever receive a comment like this? Probably not. Your husbands probably just swallow and smile. I'll try to remember my Jimmy thinks I'm fabulous! Or maybe he'll just have a little Soft Soap in his toothbrush tonight:)
Your little bro often critiques my food while we are eating it. Needs more salt, a different herb, last time was better, etc.
ReplyDeleteI realize feedback like this makes me a better cook but sometimes I just want to yell, "Shut up and eat it or leave the table!".
Actually, I think I have said that.
So last night, I ask Matt if he wants me to get his coffee ready for the next morning. "ummm...no,I can get it." Hmmmm....I will take that as a suddle hint that I SUCK at making coffee. Ha ha ha.....I love Jimmy, hes such a good egg Lis!
ReplyDeleteI tried a new recipe the other night~ my husband said~ and I quote~ "this would taste really good, if I was in PRISON"! Serious.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I felt great after that! =)
~better than soap in the toothbrush, try baby orajel, it's clear and numbs your mouth for a little while. ha ha:)
ReplyDelete~i told fred about a study i heard on the news that said children are more likely to follow their father's eathing habits and tastes. so now he chokes down anything that is healthy with a smile for the sake of the kids. like last nights failed attempt at coconut curry butternutsquash soup. we all ate lots of bread.

ReplyDeleteThere was a time I made Kade lunch and while I was at work he sent me a text saying, "Thanks for lunch, it wasn't half bad!"
ReplyDeleteHaha.. but it was french onion soup, and he HATES onions, so it was kind of flattering :)
Steve isn't nearly as critical of my cooking as I am of his cooks. . . but I consider that my job these days :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Audrey, seriously?!? I've been telling Steve that for years, but he hasn't changed a thing.
