Here's the deal:
It took me 3 days of negotiations with my wife and an almost fight over whether or not to purchase the book. In all honestly, my wife thought paying 50$ for a cookbook is a bunch of bullshit...she thought it was going to be a waste of time and not worth the hours of hard labour at my job....the book cost me almost 2 day's hard 11 hour shifts to pay for it...
Here's the end result:
When I downloaded it, my wife wouldn't speak with me for an entire day. She said that I spent money on nothing and I'm wasting our hard-earned money. It wasn't pretty and I had to figure something out to save the night and get my wife happy with my decision to purchase the book....and what better gift than to cook her something special.
I had everything planned out: a romantic meal in our backyard, with candlelight and the sweet scent of a good meal. Only problem is, I don't know how to cook to save my life. I thought I was doomed and considered cheating, i.e. getting the food from somewhere else and lying to my wife, but I'm an honest man and wouldn't consider such a thing.
When I almost gave up and decided the night was doomed, I remembered my purchase and the book that has started it all: In the Fitness Kitchen.
I scrolled through the first page of the book and looked at the name Nathan Chase. I thought to myself, Nate you bastard help me out bro...I need your help here....flipped through the dedication and introductions, including the descriptions of the terms involved in cooking, which were really cool and informative btw.
After a couple of minutes, I stopped turning pages and read something I liked: Chicken and Black Bena Chilli. I know that my wife loves black beans from a chinese rest. that we used to visit, and she always used to order the same plate because it had black beans in it...I cannot believe how easy it is to cook and prepare meals using this book....any n00b can do it...and you can make yourself look good while doing it....I laos used the side dish of chiken grape salad....WOW...that dish was awesome....
That night, my wife appologized and said that this can prove to be a good investment...not only did I get a nappology out of my wife, which almost never happens...but I got great sex
Thank you needto - stand up bro....great book....will cherish it!
