Another Boring Dinner
It was another Wednesday night, and…
“What's for dinner, Rayette?”
“We’re going to have Escargot a la Bourguignonne, followed by Confit de Canard, finished off with double-baked cheese soufflé, Ralph.”
“Oh, no… Not Escargot a la Bourguignonne, Confit de Canard, and soufflé again.”
“Come on, Ralph… Don't complain.”
“But couldn't we have something different for a change?… Maybe chicken fingers?”
“You know I don't know how to cook chicken fingers.”
“I could try, Rayette.”
“No, Ralph… The last time you tried chicken fingers, they tasted like Coq au Vin, and you know how much I dislike Coq au Vin.”
