Interesting conversation

Last night was to be some kind of surprise for dinner, as I hadn't even thought about it during the day. It was left up to my sweet husband, who always comes through! He did call me at the end of the day and ask me to pick up some evaporated milk so he could finish making dinner. Well, the only thing we make with evaporated milk is quiche, one of his favorite dinner items to make. Mom's 50-year-old recipe for Quiche Lorraine is quick and easy to put together, if you have all the ingredients. So I knew what we were having.

Our conversation when I got home went something like this, after I gave him the evaporated milk:
Me: So...Quiche Lorraine, eh?
Ken: I'm not telling.
Me: Huh. Okay, shall I make salad?
Ken: Nope, we're all set.
Me: (remembering what we have in the freezer) So, did you buy bacon?
Ken: No.
Me: (thinking that means we had bacon in the freezer, which I didn't remember) Oh, we had some in the freezer?
Ken: No.
Me: (My back hurt, so I wasn't paying attention) So you bought some?
Ken: (loudly) NO - IT'S A VEGETARIAN QUICHE.
Me: Oh...so did you buy anything for it?
Ken: (loudly) NO.
Me: So you found Swiss cheese and bacon in the fridge? (both of which Mom's recipe calls for)
Ken: (loudly, as if to someone of no wit) NO - IT'S A MIXTURE OF CHEESES AND NO BACON.
Me: Oh.

Well, maybe it was funnier the first time around, but it WAS funny. As I explained to him, I was just trying to ascertain the truth for my readers - what was from the freezer and what was purchased. As you can see from the above, the only purchase was the evaporated milk. :) That means we had eggs, cheese, onion and garlic (his additions) and a pie shell on hand. He meant to add a little leftover broccoli, but it ended up remaining on the breadboard instead of going into the quiche.

So ... what does this tell you? It tells me don't bother my husband with the details, just eat the darn dinner. What's he making for tonight? I don't know, but I'm not askin'. See you tomorrow.
