The most memorable was when Bob and I first got together. I made a Lamb and Apricot dish. It sounded so good and I love apricots. The problem was I didn’t read the complete instructions before beginning. I read the ingredients and glanced at the cooking instructions, but missed the sentence that said:
Do Not Add Salt During Cooking.
Bob was in that “start of a new relationship phase” where you are trying to please the other person. This phase can cause a person to do questionable things in an effort to not hurt the other’s feelings. He was willing to eat this salty mess and even tried to convince me it was not too bad.
I finally took his plate away from him and gave it to my German Shepherd, who would eat anything. The dog took one bite, spit it out and walked away. It is truly sad when even a hungry dog won’t eat your cooking.
