DOMESTIC HELP
By admin. Filed in survey |
Domestic Goddess. The term implies a domestic pleasure delivered by a women of extraordinary beauty and charm. My gender dictates and Martha Stewart mandates, I should enjoy a natural aptitude for culinary and decorating artistry. Unfortunately, mostly for my family and house guests, I have neither. Aside from my inability to strategically place knickknacks, arrange flowers, and coordinate fabric, my culinary skills are minimal. While I blend a intoxicating margarita and whip killer egg nog, they provide little in the way of sustenance for a family of five. Moreover, there are legal issue associated with serving alcohol to minors.
There have been numerous attempts to expand our nutritional exposure. I have prepared root beefed beef, spaghetti tacos, creamed spinach and eggplant. Mostly though, my genetic disposition betrays me. I either forget specific ingredients, forget to set a timer, or whip instead of blend.
Consequently, I felt somewhat remorseful, when my daughter returned home from camp last night. Other mothers spent the day planning and preparing a home cooked meal. My daughter got rigatoni with butter and chicken nuggets. Luckily, my children have sheltered palates and my husband is a huge fan of chef boyardee. After a homemade martini, I even delivered dinner in a pleasant and charming manner.
