Yesterday James made a delicious new dinner we’ve never had before. Picture a beautiful pool of lemony hollandaise sauce surrounding salmon, grilled asparagus, and a perfectly poached egg balanced on top. It was Easter brunch for dinner. Spring on a plate. Mwoi– Fingertip kiss.
Jacob hated it. Oh the wailing and harrumphing. The rest of us thought it was great. Jake finally returned to the table, ate his egg and asparagus, and made sure we all know he only eats expensive lox and nigiri. Common salmon? Pashaw.
Tonight James made spaghetti– King Jacob’s favorite. Though it was made with a lesser tomato sauce from Trader Joe’s and ground beef rather than his favorite ground buffalo.
Jake was relatively pleased despite the inferior ingredients. And then he says in all sincerity, “It’s pretty good. And I mean, really, it’s the Zombie Apocalypse. You can’t be picky.”
