Role Reversal

Kate cooked last night. She warned me; she said "don’t get your hopes up, it’s just normal people food." She was wrong, it was delicious. We had seasoned chicken patties with arugula and onion salsa, except that we couldn’t get ground chicken or arugula. I’d like to think that I’ve rubbed off on her a little bit since she did an equally wonderful job improvising with ground turkey and parsley, but she did it all herself.
We also enjoyed a whole tasty bottle of Night Owl chardonnay that was chosen primarily for its dashing good looks. It complimented the meal very nicely with a smooth taste that let the food remain center stage.

All in all I like this occasional role reversal. Ever since she told me about setting a stove on fire during one of her required cooking classes I always assumed that I’d be the primary cook in the relationship. I’d never want to give up cooking for her, but I’m definitely excited about sharing the task after she put her skill on display last night.
