Tonight we’re eating rosemary dijon roasted pork loin on top of tomato basil orzo drizzled with a creamy dijon sauce and served spicy poached artichoke and vinegarette.
T: I got really excited when the crab boil made both of us cough. That’s when I knew dinner was going to be awesome.
A: yeah, it’s not spicy till ya cough.
T: Crab boil just smells so good.
A: and so potent.
T: It always reminds me of boiled shrimp. Go figure.
A: hmmph. It would seem to me that it should remind you of crawfish, since you’re cajun and all, being from Louisisana. heheh.
T: It also reminds me of crawfish, but the shrimp thing hits me first. By the way, we cajuns like our shrimp, too.
A: cool, cool. So what were your thoughts on the rest of the meal?
T: I thought it was good… maybe not the most thrilling meal you’ve made.
A: no it did little to excite me, either. The orzo tasted like chefboyarde
T: well that’s… I think you’re wrong about that.
A: yeah, whatever. I’m right… And the pork was good, but the cream sauce was too much. The artichoke could have been poached longer, and the skin could have been trimmed off a touch better.
T: I thought the pork was quite tasty. It didn’t marry perfectly with the orzo.
A: that’s because the orzo was crap.
T: well, it was good. not great. folk have done worse.
A: not much worse.
T: so what is your rating?
A: I give this meal overall a 5.7/10. It was little more than average. Every happy homemaker should be able to fix at least this, if not better. And I’m neither happy nor a homemaker.
T: not happy?
A: alright, alright, it just sounded better than saying that I was plain-old not a homemaker.
T: You’re a foodmaker.
A: but not a homemaker, have you seen my home?
T: have you seen mine?
A: Why mr. tyler I certainly have, and what a fine home it is. Anyway, what’s your rating tonight?
T: I give it a 7.5/10. That’s one of the harshest ratings I’ve given. I guess the ante has just been upped lately. We’ve been eating really well.
A: and tomorrow we’ll return to a state of eating really well. As of tonight, this too shall pass.
T: night guys.
