Light Moments in Cooking

[Alan]

I had an incident when I was into my first month after marriage, my husband invited his ex-schoolmate friend to our house and we insisted on him having a quick meal.
Not familiar with many dishes, I made him 2 chapatis, but I wasnt familiar with chapatis either. They came out like frisbees (as stiff) and the poor guy ate it, not uttering a word about the taste. After he left, my husband tasted the last extra chapati I had left and couldnt believe how it tasted...he still teases me after 11 years about the incident. Needless to say, the friend hasnt visited us since.!
