My kitchen
When:
Tuesday, 5:03 pm
Me (walking in): Hey, honey - whatch'a doing with the Moosewood Cookbook?
Brian: Trying to find a chicken salad recipe- we have all that grilled chicken and I thought we could do something with it.
Me: Okay - you realize you're looking in a vegetarian cookbook, right?
Brian: (Shoots me the 'F You' look - then leaps to defense) No! Hey! Why the hell do you have a vegetarian cookbook anyway? We're not vegetarians.
Me: No - but some of our friends and guests are.
Brian: Okay - well. I didn't think it was vegetarian. I thought it was all desserts - you know?
Me: And you thought it was all desserts and were still looking for a chicken salad recipe.......really...
Brian (glaring): I hate you. (storms out)
And... scene.

Change the names a little and it's a typical scene from my house too :-)
I'm with Cubby.
That's so me and Carlos.
Sounds just like us. :)
DuPree, I think the relationship banter is part of lives that are settled. The facades are gone and the two people(or more) are just telling it like it is. It's a sign of true love and friendship in a relationship and a mark for longevity for that relationship as well.
Ha - glad to see there are so many similarities between us old married folk.
Kyle - I totally agree with your analysis. This is so typical of our daily banter - and as you might imagine (and I assume this about all of you, too) we laugh a lot. In fact, whenever we integrate new friends, they frequently comment on how they are not accustomed to laughing so much.
So, here's to love and laughter, men. And to our men who make it all so wonderful.
And the surprise is...where???? I love B...I don't know why he would bother trying to do anything in kitchen... two words... boiled bacon...
or coffee grind coffee
So do tell...did you get either chicken salad OR a dessert -- or did you just go hungry that night??
Mike - yes, I did eventually make chicken salad that evening - no dessert.
