UJ, you french canadians get to enjoy so many different cultures and many different favors, plus you have a great reputation, from France, of being cooks who can heat it up and present it in just the right way. Performance and presentation are both unappreciated talents, and knowing how to mix and match recipes, methods and ingredients into the dish can add flavor and spice to any evening meal. I am assure your wife enjoys the different culinary feats you are capable of performing.
An Diamond Gypsy, let me add that in my restaurant experience I have had the pleasure of cooking and preparing dishes for many women, especially older women, who I find being a sort of finesse, skill and appreciation of good dining that many younger women just miss out.
I think you know what I mean.
