MrsM, chef de cuisine


Bodegón con atún

MrsM is multi-tasking:
sorting laundry, planning menus,
listening to MrM, and cooking rice.
MrsM is at the top of her game.

The phone rings. It is MissM!
There is so much to talk about.
Books! Holidays! Cooking!

MrsM instructs MrM to sieve the rice.
MrM starts sieving and looks alarmed.
"There is something not quite right here"
MrsM looks into the saucepan.

there
is
no
rice

MrsM forgot to put in the rice.

It is a very public humiliation

*****
This post is for MrM
who accepts MrsM as she is
with all her multiple failings.

Recreate this scene!
Put on some music!
Turn up the volume!

  6. I do something similar when making tea - I either forget to put tea in the pot or forget to pour the tea into my cup.

    Nice music!

  7. I don't need to recreate that scene, lady. I can do that kind of stuff without detailed instructions.

    I am an impro QUEEN.
