Overachiever Me (Part 10)

May 11th, 2007 by rsm

Friend (walking in, late in the evening): Who were you talking to?

Me: A friend of mine up in New York.

Friend: What was that about food?

Me: Oh, I made some plain country food. She wanted to know what.

Friend: … … … … plain? …

Me: Yeah. Shepherd’s Pie

Friend: …

Me: Alright, so I browned the beef lightly in caramelized sweet onions then stewed it in burgundy wine until it reduced down, fresh pepper and oregano, then a layer of baby swiss, sliced carrots, then the potato puree with roasted garlic and topped it with some cheddar, parsley and a little rosemary. Happy?

Friend: Not unless you still have some left over.

    is it always the same friend, or do you have a posse of them with mouths watering for your various Overachiever moments?

    Damnit. It’s too early for me to be craving Shepherd’s Pie. Not to mention I’m not in the mood to cook. How quickly can you get here?

    Great. Here I am with a ’splodin’ gall bladder and you pull this crap.

    Mmmmmmm…. so… hungry….

    Showoff. I don’t suppose you plan on shipping any of that over to me (there are no mushrooms, right?).

    “plain”… uh huh.

    I suppose you grew your own rosemary too…

    BTW, did I mention I’m nearly always free for dinner?
