Yeah, it's never happened before. Oh sure, there have been comments like, "it's pretty good," and "you can fix it again, but I would (change/add/leave out) ... ". But I don't remember ever receiving, in sixteen years of marriage, a thumbs up for my cooking.
It was pretty simple. Looking through the almost-empty refrigerator (since I haven't been to the grocery for over a week), I had to throw something together with what I could scrounge. I thought of my 5-ingredient cookbook, and remembered a recipe I've made before, that we like (read: everyone will eat and not make faces at). It is sliced kielbasa cooked in apple juice, apple jelly, and maple syrup. Hmm ... no kielbasa, but we do have a package of mettwurst. No apple juice, but we have applesauce. No apple jelly, but there is apple butter. I do have syrup! So I made the necessary substitutions with some reservation (remembering the horrid pea soup incident of a week ago ... ). My concoction garnered a thumbs up from Bob, and the kids gobbled every last bit. So the "corrections" will be noted in the cookbook, and this recipe will be placed on the iPod menu list for future quick meals.
