When he cooks ?

Linguine with zucchini and chickpeas

… I smile. Weekends are perfect for a shift in the kitchen. I was particularly happy to see my husband take over this weekend after a rough week at work and an annoying head cold.

“Dinner’s ready” was music to my ears Saturday night.  I was cranking away on a presentation while he rustled up the recipes I provided.  I dismissed his “one day I might be able to cook at your level” comment. Sure, the pasta was a bit overcooked and not as good as I recalled the last time around. But  I’m always delighted to be served dinner, rather than making it. One never wants to discourage a husband in the kitchen. Besides, isn’t cooking for someone an act of love?  I like to see it that way.

Saturday night: Salmon with herbed yogurt; linguine with chickpeas and zucchini.
