Danielle went home early from work. Thank God the meeting from an important patron of the museum ended up early. Danielle made a v-line to the grocery and gets all the ingredients that would make the perfect roast pork, a recipe she read from some cook book, she wanted to surprise Jack. Now there is a little problem on the side. Danielle no matter how brilliant and adoring she is she has one handicap when it comes to cooking and baking. Though she could cook simple dishes, whenever she tries her hand at cooking or baking she ends up with a disaster. You see Jack is the cook in the family; he works as a sous chief in one of the local restaurants. So whenever Danielle finds time to in her hands she would like to learn new things like cooking. It’s in her nature to try things out and to improve her skills.
So the ingredients in hand and paid for at the counter and finally heading home. She could picture the pork roast in the oven roasting it to perfection with all the trimmings on the side. She would also prepare a special salad that Jack thought her and she envisioned how that pork roast would be the highlight of their dinner.
She was greeted by her adorable son Rob who was excited to tell the story about what he learned from school. And while he changed to tackle the dinner in mind Rob kept her company in the kitchen. All preparations have been done dinner is in the oven. A couple of minutes and it’s done.
Dinner time the verdict on the pork roast. The roast is tough verging to burnt meat and still raw inside. Her husband did not say anything but Danielle felt defeated another mistake in the kitchen. Her husband consoled her saying she’ll get it next time. Danielle cried and felt bad for herself. Thinking another kitchen mishap was added in her strings of kitchen troubles.
