Last week, while I was in Utah, Jim and Tessa were at home in Portland.
Jim was in charge of cooking. He tries but Jim is not a “real” cook. His idea of cooking is grilling a piece of meat. He tries and we love him. He truly is a simple “meat and potatoes” kind of guy. He would be happy with just about anything and loves everything that is placed in front of him and always lets me know how “tasty” everything is. So I am lucky.
While I was out of town, I received the following text message from my daughter Tessa.
But first, I must state that I do have the permission of all parties involved to share this text message. I hope you find it as amusing as I did. I laughed so hard I cried. Jim laughed too.
Dearest Mother,
I would like to inform you of what we have had for dinner the past two nights.
Night one – pork chops with a weird seasoning(that didn’t have any flavor) and baked potatoes.
Night two – grilled chicken with a marinade father made up and baked potatoes (classic meal he cooks when you are gone)
If I have to eat another meal that consists of a meat with an interesting seasoning on it with a baked potato I might throw up and starve.
Please, the next time you go out of town, prepare meals ahead of time for my own sanity and health.
Love you dearly,
your almost starving daughter.
As you can see, Tessa is not quite as easy to please.
Guess I’ll be putting some meals in the freezer before I leave town next time so poor Tessa doesn’t starve!
