I could only cook pad thai, and she was sitting in front of me eating a tomato for dinner. This is French cuisine? A tomato and some salt? But I’d heard so much. Well, it all came soon enough, as soon as her jet lag wore off. Meantime, we’ve run out of money, and we’re back to the fare of students, and tonight it goes something like this:
1. (appetizer) tomatoes and cucumbers, diced, with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbes de provençe, salt.
2. (the main course) curly noodles, marinara sauce, garlic, tobasco sauce.
3. (dessert) assorted crackers and laughing cow swiss cheese.
we did not wash the dishes.
