When my brother won the famed TV cooking show it was our
mother’s proudest moment. His winning dish;
a salad of dandelion, jamón Ibérico de Bellota, poached quail's egg with walnut vinaigrette was hailed a masterpiece. It
was mandatory for visitors to watch a recording of the final.
Mother revelled in his celebrity status so I called him to
say that it seemed he was finally forgiven.
“You think so?” he queried.
“I know so,” I replied casting my mind to the time when the
house went up in flames. Bacon and eggs
were off the menu for a while.

Dear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteYour writing never disappoints. There's a lot of story between the lines. Well done or should I say, "over easy?"
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle your comments made me smile, I am glad you enjoyed this serving.
DeleteGreat story and I would really miss bacon and eggs. Good job! Nan
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan. Everything goes well with bacon, even a serve of Friday Fiction.
DeleteOh I love this.. I think yes .. forgiveness is given.. just bring the jamon instead of trying with bacon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Björn I am glad you liked it. I think forgiveness has been granted and they are all hamming it up now.
DeleteHouses can be replaced but a good breakfast......
ReplyDeleteGood piece.
Thanks Mick that's true, even Pooh bear agrees with you.
Delete“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”

Accidents have been know to happen in the kitchen (as well as the bedroom). I'm glad to see his cooking skills have improved and is off the hook with Mom.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about breakfast--bring it on.
As long as these accidents don't become the norm ten they are forgivable ;-)
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting Russell.
I'd say the son has come a long way and has earned forgiveness. A good meal can't hurt either!
ReplyDeleteA testament to the healing power of bacon :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Caerlynn
DeleteNice story!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ansumani I am glad you liked it.
DeleteAnother good story, Subroto. Great description. I also think forgiveness is a sure thing. Well done. :) --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne, I think it was time to leave the ham handed approach behind.
DeleteWhen you're learning how to cook, accidents will happen...
ReplyDeleteI think axing bacon and eggs is a cruel and unusual punishment, though :-)
True but some burning issues are greater than the others :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Alistair.
