Our resident Sous Chef, Cheoah, had a discussion with Hu-Dad over proper kitchen etiquette during dinner preparations last night.
I want my attorney-at-claw.
Hu-Dad was preparing an Italian Cheese-Stuffed Meatloaf last night, assisted by his ever present Sous Chef, Cheoah. Fresh bread crumbs are required as a critical ingredient, so Hu-Dad took a loaf of bread, chopped up the requisite amount, and left the remainder on the counter to serve with dinner. A certain Sous Chef might have thought the remainder was meant as pay for kitchen work. Hu-Dad looked over and saw a certain red nose absconding with the bread.
The remaining bread – with a missing piece.
Bread retrieved, trimmed, and served with the meal.
The face of no remorse.

Exploding Oatmeal And Broken Water Lines
June 26, 2022
The dog didn’t eat my homework, but exploding oatmeal and broken water lines sure interfered with my novel writing this week.

Is It Dinner Time Yet?
Natasha, Kiska and Qannik ask the most important question asked every day here at Chez Herd – Is it dinner time yet?
Visit Millerton, a fictional small town near Asheville NC, via D.K. Wall's novels. Ordinary people. Extraordinary events.
Would Cheoah be willing to share that yummy meatloaf recipe with her fans?
Mom sez: Awww, and the hu-Dad didn’t even let you have the trimmed off piece? And that IS the most remorseful looking face I’ve seen in a long time. Did you tell him you were truly sorry, Cheoah?
My defense is that I was doing my duty to make sure that your food is up to culinary standard. I am inclined to say that a bigger second taste might be warranted. 🙂
He had to sample it to make sure it was up to standards!!!
How dare he take food out of your mouth! Give him the claw!
It was a valiant effort Cheoah! I mean really! Every chef is supposed to get her pay!! ????????
Good it wasn’t garlic bread or Cheoah would have an upset tummy.
