I made Turkey Loaf, spinach and rice for dinner last night. He took a bite out of the turkey loaf and said:
"What? No bread crumbs?"
First of all, back the bus up. I never use bread crumbs when I make turkey or meat loaf. I use a piece of bread. Second of all, in my humble opinion, the first thing out of his mouth should be something more along the lines of: "This is really good, thanks babe!" Rather than noting an ingredient deficiency.
I sat there grinding my teeth trying not to explode. Eventually I replied:
"I'm not going to answer that question."
"What?" He asked innocently "I'm just saying. Are there any bread crumbs?"
"Sounds like a complaint to me." I grumbled.
"You know what?" He shot back "Forget this. I don't want dinner!"
And with that he threw his entire plate of un-eaten turkey loaf into the sink. Ari was really confused as he watched Wil leave the kitchen. He said:
"Where Daddy go?"
So I called my dad, asked him to come up and eat the left-overs. Not the stuff in the sink, I had more turkey loaf to go around and I didn't want to eat alone.
Later on, Wil apologized for freaking out. I'm still fairly certain that this fight was not actually about bread crumbs. There was definitely something else going on underneath the surface. All I know was that I didn't sleep well last night, because the bread crumbs were haunting me in my dreams.

That sucks, I'm sure it was awesome just the wya it was. Chris and I have the same exact argument every single time I make udon noodle stir fry. Except it goes:
"Didn't we have enough hoisin sauce?"
And I immediately regret not replacing his sesame seeds with crushed glass.
Hahahaha! That is awesome! I don't know why they feel the need tocomplain. Listen, if you don't like it, make your own dinner!
I think it was awesome. My dad liked it! By the way, Wil's plate that was previously in the sink, is now in the fridge. Mysteriously.
I was thinking about you all night after we "talked." I hope everything is better today. Everyone has freak-out moments but that was surely uncalled for. Yasir complains that my food is too spicy. Or, he doesn't say anything and when I ask, "well, is it ok?" he says "yeah" but doesn't get enthusiastic so I end up thinking that I suck at cooking.
At least it seemed that he was sort of regretful, in putting his plate back in the fridge. Maybe?
Its ok. Today Chaim got all PMS on me because his meat pot is too small. I didn't even buy it (he did) and as you know, I'm a vegetarian. BUT because his mom gave us a new pot one year and I decided to use it for passover, it is now my fault that his pot is insufficient. I asked him what he'd do if his mom never gave him the bigger pot, and he said "I'd have boughten another pot!" So I said "So go boughten another pot." Hahahaha!!
Ok sorry guys, he's arguing that he didn't say "boughten" but that it only sounded like that. I say it doesn't matter, either way, you have no pot, go get one.
Cordy- What's up with these guys getting all sensitive in the kitchen? I swear!
Amanda- I think he felt badly about it. At least from what he said. You know what? The crazy monsoon-type storm that happened last night brought out a lot of weird emotions in many people!
See, I'm all impressed here that you make turkey loaf. And meat loaf. You are a domestic goddess. I would totally eat it, bread crumbs or no.
Amber, that is so sweet of you to say! Actually, turkey loaf/meat loaf is one of the easiest things to make. I can totally email you the recipe.
