Failed Dish
Molly sat on one of the chairs arms crossed in front of her chest and with one of the sourest faces ever imaginable. Even though she won the fruit, vegetable, and flower contest each year she just couldn't win the cooking contest no matter how hard she tried. This bothered her very much even more so because her 'wife' always won them no matter what. She always made an effort to use the best ingredients for her dishes but no matter what she always came second to last. It just wasn't fair! Her dishes were more creative. Like the one she took today, chocolate cover tofu with pineapple and banana croquettes.
They should have been a hit! But instead she got the kind of 'hit' she didn't want…
That's to say, everyone was saying how horrible it was and they soon got the reputation of being good for killing rodents and use for torturing. As she remembered how the villagers were teasing her, her face began to heat up and soon enough her ears where scorching hot as well. From the corner of her eye she looked at Chase intently at the way he cooked.
She frowned. Ok so maybe she didn't have the fines that Chase had, but that didn't mean that his cooking was automatically delicious. Although…she had to admit, he was a pretty gawd danm good cook. She looked at the plate in the table.
Her food didn't look that bad…and she was pretty sure it didn't taste as horrid as the villagers claimed to be. She stood up and took a piece of the tofu and put it in her mouth. Her eyes widen and immediately took a napkin and spit it out. Ok…so it wasn't that great but the croquettes should be edible at least right? She cut a piece of the croquettes. Her jaw dropped open and the pieces of half chewed croquettes began to fall from her mouth.
Chase was just about to serve their dinner when he was suddenly startled by a loud thud from behind him. He turned around to see his wife on her hands and knees and her head was hanging low. He dropped the spoon, ran up to her and kneeled next to her.
He tilted his head to the side as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Molly… Are you ok?"
Molly lifted her head and looked at him with tear filled eyes. Now he was worried. He was about to say something when suddenly he was caught off guard. She threw her arms around his neck and started wailing.
"Whaaa! Oh Chase! I'm…I'm so sorry Chase! I promise I'll never experiment with food ever again!"
