What does a (pick your ethnic/religious/color/sex person) American Princess make for dinner? Reservations.
On that note, when my eldest son was about 7 YO, my wife was going to her cousin's wedding out of town and was going to be gone for 10 days. He started bawling, "We're going to starve!". Never mind that I'd made many a meal for the family.Quelle surprise, nobody died of starvation.
Though I will say that she went alone because we didn't have enough money for all five of us to gallivant all the way across the continent for a cousin's wedding, (whom I thought was a pretentious ass, anyway).
I still find it interesting that when I met my husband he cooked and was pretty good at it. He'd been single for a couple years and his first wife was quite young and I don't think she had progressed beyond boiling water. Somehow within a few years of our marriage he "forgot" how to cook. Years have gone by and I have been dealing with health issues of late. If I ask nicely and look pitiful enough he will scramble some eggs.
