Some of these doctors stated "facts" I have used with my wife to no avail.

Like Sweet Potato Tempura.

#3 Once, when needing to pull together a small dinner party at the last minute, I served zucchini bread with chocolate chips and raisins as the vegetable for the main course.

#4 I'll bet Mr Wife didn't pull any more surprises like that on you TW!

#5 Our guest was delighted, Seeking cure, and thereafter always said yes immediately to our invitations, informing his wife of the details afterward. And Mr. Wife very much likes my zucchini bread.

The thing was, Mr. Wife spent a good portion of his career traveling abroad, and meeting with colleagues from abroad when they came to company headquarters in Cincinnati and, during our international period, to his office in Frankfurt and later Brussels. They were all accustomed to going to restaurants for dinner during these business trips, but then I’d not see him until late even when he was home. So we had a standing arrangement — until I got sick, anyway — that as long as he called me by 4 p.m. to let me know how many he was bringing, I’d happily feed his colleagues that evening. I had the ingredients for a few set menus always on hand, and some desserts in the freezer, so it wasn’t a problem... and I met a great many fascinating people, I got to spend time with my husband, and his colleagues got a change from restaurant fare. Win-win-win. :-)
