Don't Invite Me to Dinner If You Can't COOK!

Recently, my formally significant other and myself were invited to dinner at another couples home in Manhattan Beach. A very big, nicely decorated and beautiful home with a FABULOUS kitchen.

First: The Fab Kitchen manufacturers like Wolf, Viking, DeLonghi, etc. should have customers PROVE their ability on such kitchen item before purchasing. It's of no good use if they don't know how to use it. It turns into a crying shame and the meal cooked on it turns into a slice of the devils humor.

She, He (It most likely) cooked up chicken breasts. Breasts should be plump and juicy don't you agree? It shouldn't taste like a bag of Chicharrones (fried dry pork rinds). My daughter used to call pork rinds The Thirsty Chips as a little girl because she couldn't swallow them without something to wash it down with. You get the picture here? It was impossible to eat, chew and swallow. We got a bit drunk with the wine per bite thing.

Instead of bringing the standard wine and flowers hospitality gift we should have brought hot dogs and peanut butter! Easier to swallow. Bleh!

That is a cryin' shame! I think if they had that kinda cash, why not hire a cook?

You came to my house and Mom brought the food in a bag.

Its best to admit your short comings up front and not waste money pretending to know what you're doing.
