Thirty years ago, I pumped out what is famously known as brides cooking. Now, my husband has been doing a lot of the cooking and we\u2019ve been eating some interesting meals. The other night for dinner, we sat down and I looked at my plate and remarked, \u201cWow, you\u2019re getting rather proficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Timing is a nuisance for my husband. The meatloaf will be finished half an hour before the pasta and the salad will be remembered tomorrow. But, alas, we can eat in stages.<\/p>\n<p>So, the other night, for the main fact that the piece of ham, the biscuit, and the corn on the cob was pretty much done at the same time, was remarkable. I cut the biscuit in half and put the slice of ham in the middle with mustard, since mustard was on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Picking up this cute little sandwich was a mistake. The biscuit fell apart. After a bite, I realized why, baking powder and salt don\u2019t always hold units together. I finished it with a fork. My husband tried to glue his biscuit together with honey. It was a mess.<\/p>\n<p>Because we are cheap, if the food is anywhere close to edible, we will eat it. Another oddity (and I have no idea where my husband got the notion that old-fashioned, 3-minute, oatmeal must be added to almost everything), is that uncooked oat flakes should get mixed in with everything from green beans and taco filling. But, just as my husband endured my brides cooking, I too will endure. And, we will get a good laugh in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p>From <i>21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Science and Health, <\/i>\u201cGentle words, and an unselfish attention to detail in what promotes the success of your spouse, will prove valuable in prolonging one another\u2019s health and smiles. Don\u2019t practice stolid indifference or resentment. Remember, a simple heartfelt word or deed is powerful enough to renew the romance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2013\/06\/biscuit-crumbly-closeup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2008\" alt=\"biscuit crumbly closeup\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2013\/06\/biscuit-crumbly-closeup.jpg\" width=\"513\" height=\"385\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2013\/06\/biscuit-and-corn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2009\" alt=\"biscuit and corn\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/269\/2013\/06\/biscuit-and-corn.jpg\" width=\"498\" height=\"396\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been \u201cBrides Cooking\u201d all over again at our house.
