Here, have some gravy with that…
Sunday, October 15th, 2006To paraphrase the exchange in my kitchen this afternoon between J and I:
J: We should cook more meals like this.
Me: Sure, except that whole work thing keeps getting in the way.
J: You could stay home and cook every night again.
Me: I could. We’d miss the cash I bring in though.
J: Well, find a telecommuting job.
Me: What do you think I’ve been trying to do!?
J: Oh. Well, get on it!
Me: …
At the time, I was making gravy. I don’t have a real problem with making gravy. It’s just slightly time consuming for me. If I don’t watch it and go slow, I tend to make it too flour-y. Who knew that gravy didn’t taste good all chalky-like? Anyway, I digress. How is it that both of us can want the same thing and just not have it happen exactly how we want? Damn life and it’s evil evil ways.
