Helanie:
I had cooked so much food, and probably that's why everyone was wondering what the occasion might be. Butter chicken, lemon chicken piccata, braised short ribs, and more dishes, along with salads, pavlova, and a creamy fruit bowl for dessert.
Emmet tasted the filet mignon first, and the way he closed his eyes to savor the flavor felt like a small victory to me.
Then he took a bite of the aglio olio pasta, and once again, he closed his eyes and let out a louder-than-expected moan.
"Mmmmmm!"
Everyone turned their heads toward him.
"This is so good," he said with his mouth full.
Mr. McQuoid quickly grabbed some food and started nodding his head nonstop. My mother noticed their reactions and picked up a fork. Her response was even more surprising. She looked shocked.
"Seems like the chef has finally learned how to cook," my mother commented, unable to hold back her praise.
