Back to School!!!!!
Dan and i are fishally both back to school now, although he's working much harder than i am, on account of being a full time student who completes his masters approixmately a hundred million years before i do. To celebrate, i thought i would surprise Dan with an apple crisp because he's gonna be a teacher - get it? apples? and also because it's pretty hard to screw up an apple crisp, no matter how inept a baker i am. Still, i enlisted the help of three counselors, 1) the farmer who told me which apples to buy, 2) Dan's mother who told me how long to cook the apples, and 3) my mother who called back a half hour too late to be helpful on the previous two counts, but who reiterated my decisions anyway.
When Dan came home from school two hours after i had finished work, the surprise wasn't as surprising as i had anticipated.
"You're making apples? Yummy!" was his response, which i had anticipated to be more like:
"Oh my frickin God, you actually cooked something? To what do we owe this stupendous occasion!!! You must be unduly moved with love and gratitude to engage in such an activity at which you traditionally perform so poorly! And imagine, just for my fleeting pleasure!"
Or something like that. But no matter, the proof was in the non-pudding dessert, which as of 9pm has all gone into the bellies of Dan and his lovely wife Sara Lee. I mean Leah.
