Master Chef
When was the last time you made a bad meal? Last night I made something that is normally a good meal. I'd bought large mushrooms and good (expensive) crab meat to stuff them with. I know it sounds goofy, but rice-a-roni is a comfort food for my husband and me, and I sauteed chicken breasts and added fresh herbs. All of it tasted terrible. I did not overcook it, but the chicken turned into rubber. The Rice a roni ... well, the roni was overcooked, and the rice was like little pellets of stone. The crab stuffed mushrooms were horrid beyond belief. The funny part is that, well, to put it politely, I had gass all night. Hubby says I was rejecting my own bad meal. By the way, he also says that in 30 years of living together, me doing 90% of the cooking, it is only the second bad meal I've fixed. But I may not cook for the rest of the week!
