And this is why I drink . . .
RIC: Vacation is over.
ME: I know. What a bummer. I could use another couple of weeks.
RIC: It was nice, but there are things that I missed about being at home.
ME: Like what?
RIC: Well, our own bed is much more comfortable than the one at our rental.
ME: True
RIC: The bathroom at the rental was very small.
ME: Seriously! That sink was more like a Barbie hot tub - and don’t even get me started on that little shower. But the deck was great and we were on the lake.
RIC: Yes, but we have the pool here, and you know I prefer swimming in a pool over lake water.
ME: I know.
RIC: And we spent a lot of money eating out every day.
ME: We cooked a couple of times. We grilled one night, and I even made spaghetti on another.
RIC: But it’s hard to cook in someone else’s kitchen. You don’t know where to find everything. So you search and search to find the right pot, pan, etc.
ME: True. But we found them.
RIC: And then we had to buy EVERYTHING we needed to make whatever it was even thought we had it all at home - including all of those spices that we used only the one time then left behind.
ME: I am sure that the next guest will appreciate them.
RIC: Maybe. But it’s better to cook at home because food cooked in another house just doesn’t taste the same as when it's made at home.
ME: Yes it does. It’s the exact same recipe. It tastes the same.
RIC: No it doesn’t.
ME: Yes it does. You are just being crazy.
RIC: Well, let’s put this to the test. Make spaghetti tonight and I will tell you if it tastes the same as it did in the other house.
ME: Open the wine.
