When will I ever learn? Cooking advice to Miz t.

[trof]

She's making shrimp and sausage gumbo.
I go in the kitchen to fix a drink.

"That roux?"
"Yep."
"Pan looks kind of hot to me. Are you making blonde or dark? Maybe you should turn it down a little."
"I ALWAYS make dark roux for gumbo. Sonny, how many times you made gumbo?"
"Um...none."
"How about fixing your drink and fixing me a gin and tonic and sit it down right here and hauling your ass out of my kitchen for a while?"

Then she smiled and kissed me.

When will I ever learn?

1. Hmmm...seems to me I recall a similar conversation.

My dad (post-retirement): Hey, why are you doing (insert topic) like that?
My mom (irritated): I've been doing it this way for 30 years and you haven't complained until now.
D: Oh ok, but if you did...
M: Out!
(dad leaves)
M (to me): If he doesn't figure out what to do with his time, I'm going to kill him.

2. Retirement: Not enough money, too much husband.

Too true.

3. Dad's in deep doo-doo next month.

Mom goes in for a hip replacement. She does the cooking. Come to think of it, Mom's in trouble, too. Dad CAN cook, as he was a flightline cook at one time. But, I wonder if he can only cook for large numbers of diners. Should be fun. :)
