My daughter, 14, sent my wife and me to our room until called for dinner, which you see here. The ziti was perfectly al dente. The Italian sausage was cooked well but not dry. The chopped salad was lightly dressed with a Parmesan garlic dressing she discovered in the store yesterday (did I mention she did all the grocery shopping yesterday, navigating the crowds while I got a haircut?). So as to not trigger EssexTee, the home made garlic bread was cut in uniform slices with a proper knife.
She had bought eggs by finding one of the stock guys we know at the store and getting some from the back, because the preppers had cleared the shelf. Still, because of the egg shortage, she made eggless chocolate chip cookies, which after having tasted one I can assure you will not last long in that jar.
She further informed us that she will be handling the menu for the next two weeks while she is home from school.
That’ll do.

I bet you and your wife looked at each other with the "we did well" look after seeing that.

Darn right! In truth, cooking in my wife’s family has always been considered a chore, but on my side, it’s part of the fun of life. I’ve made it a point to share that with her. So, I’m especially proud, and I plan to take as much credit for this as I can, whether I deserve it or not.

Clearly the two of you raised her well. That looks delicious!

Awesome! Thanks for posting a positive story, they will likely continue to be in short supply over the coming weeks.

It looks good, but you need to keep her ego in check with some positive critical Ramsay-stlye fe edback .

Oh that was mostly me and my wife. The kid is still only 14 after all.

Thanks. There will still be lots of good stuff though. The universe is still beautiful.

That doesn't sound like a teenage daughter. Aren't there supposed to be more meltdowns, and screaming? Try hitting the reset button, or maybe call customer service

God bless her. My boys wake up, sit at the computer, and then ask what’s for dinner.

Mine absorbs her share of bytes as well, I assure you.
Hey, what’s up with drum corps? Is your pantry only gonna have two raiders this summer?

He didn’t make the cut, but that’s not exactly a bad thing. I think he got a bad taste in his mouth during a weekend “experience camp.” It may have been just this corps. We’ll see what happens in the future. He may want to try again, or he may have scratched that itch.

I thought I wanted to do it, but looking back, I think I got as much as I needed with marching band.
