Kenny looked at the plate of food and paused there like forever… Darryl looking at his expression… It sure doesn’t look good…
“So are you going to eat or just stare at it?” Darryl asked and Kenny slowly takes up the fork to eat the food… Bit by bit, he eats the food but nothing was said… He just eats and then paused and then eats…
“Shit, he frowns… I must have done badly… Oh no!!!!....” Darryl thinks to himself. He was waiting for some feedback but still no words from Kenny… He cannot take it any longer… The wait for a word is killing him…
Darryl: “So…”
Kenny: “Hang on… Let me think of how to describe...”
Darryl: “Is it that difficult? It just good or bad only what…”
Kenny: “No… It’s never that easy…”
Darryl: “What you mean? I suck?”
Kenny: “Dear, of course I know you suck… if not why would I be with you... Sword fighting… Hahaha”
Darryl: “Not funny…”
Kenny: “OK OK… The serious stuff…”
Darryl: “Have been waiting…”
Kenny: “Now I was a bit shocked with the presentation with the thought that you been spending the whole day at home trying out so more or less, you would have thought of the presentation as well but it just…”
Darryl: “Well, I… I was just trying out the dishes only…”
Kenny: “Yes, so I decided to skip the presentation and go slow on the food… First the salad, the combination is quite refreshing but the sauce; maybe we can change it to a simpler taste like maybe just olive oil with lemon instead of thousand island salad sauce… It is too overpowering that I can barely taste the mashed potatoes after eating the salad…”
Darryl: “OK… I will change it…”
Kenny: “I have nothing to pick on the mashed potatoes though because I really like potatoes so it just tastes good… Hahaha… But the soup….”
Darryl: “What about it?”
Kenny: “2 words… Damn salty…”
Darryl: “No what… let me try… I remember putting a bit of sugar to better the taste… OMG… It so salty and yet your bowl is almost empty… I must have put the salt instead of sugar…”
Kenny: “Well, I cannot waste your effort what so I have to finish it…”
Darryl: “Then why still got some left…”
Kenny: “Erm… Too salty la, dear…”
Darryl: “I know… Then how about the meat…”
Kenny: “Ham is ok… But I’m never a fan to breast as you know… I like chest... Muscle chest to be exact… hahaha”
Darryl: “Oei… Serious la…”
Kenny: “I am serious… I don’t like breast what…”
Darryl: “Talk about the food please…”
Kenny: “Ohhh… Almost forget… Wahaha… It’s a bit too tough for me… It’s like overcooked and got burned after-taste… Like it been cooking for too long… and the sauce is a bit too sweet…”
Darryl: “Shit… Then how? It’s either too sweet or too salty… And I can actually overcook a small piece of breast meat… How am I going to handle a big turkey?”
Kenny: “Are you freaking out? It’s is not that a big problem actually… Salty or sweet can be adjusted so it actually not a big problem at all right… Overcooking is better than undercooking so we just need to make sure the timing is right…”
Darryl: “But it is going to be for 20 people… If I failed, the party will be a failure…”
Kenny: “Hey, snap out of it… You are not a failure and you are not a quitter… You say so yourself the other day… So compose yourself… Plus I will be here to help you on that day… So just relax… There really is no major problem at all… Just minor changes the flavoring that all…”
Darryl: “But…”
Kenny: “Shhh…. No more but… You wanted to do this so you will make it work… If really worry, then we just change the menu to something you are more comfortable with…”
Darryl: “Like what?”
Kenny: “Chinese style… Stir fried Turkey with potatoes, Brewed Turkey legs with Mushroom soup…”
Darryl: “Hahaha…”
Kenny: “Finally, you managed to relax… and seriously nobody said you cannot be creative with the menu… And no rules or laws say that we must have Western food on Christmas right…”
Darryl: “True…”
Kenny: “So we can always improvise to make the party menu interesting…”
Darryl: “That’s true…”
Kenny: “So we can make this work right…”
Darryl: “Yes…”
Kenny: “That’s my lover… So where is my tiramisu?”
Darryl: “In the freezer...OH MY GOD!!! I leave it for too long already…”
Kenny: “Freezer!... What is it doing in the freezer? You are supposed to chill it not freeze it?”
Darryl: “I know but I only finish it like 10min before you come back so I thought putting in the freezer will be faster…And I totally forget about it…”
Kenny: “So I guess I just have tiramisu freeze then... hahaha”
Darryl: “Damn it…”
After the dinner, Kenny helped Darryl to clean up the kitchen. They were still discussing over the menu and make necessary changes to come out with the final menu for the party. While they are doing it, Darryl’s phone rings… He went to the living room to answer it… Kenny could not hear the whole conversation but he can roughly guess it should quite an exciting conversation with all the excitement coming from Darryl’s reply…
Within second, Darryl come running into the kitchen, turn Kenny around and planted a passionate kiss on his lip…
Kenny: “Wow, Mr Tay… So aggressive and rough but I like…”
Darryl: “Of course you will like…Want some more?”
Kenny: “Hmmm… Save it for later…Hahaha”
Darryl: “Fine…”
Kenny: “So what set you in the mood?”
Darryl: “Something good of course…”
Kenny: “Mind sharing with me?”
Darryl: “Of course not… You are the only person I am going to share it with…”
Kenny: “I am waiting…”
To be continue…
