Marriage Is A Sauce Of New Foods

(My husband was not a very adventurous eater before we met, and his mom was not much on cooking. I discovered this when we were dating and I would cook dinners for us. Here are some of my favorite exchanges we’ve had.)
Husband: “What’s wrong with this apple?”
Me: “Nothing?”
Husband: “But it’s pink. Apples are only red or green.”
(It’s a pink lady apple, but he didn’t know there were more than red delicious or Granny Smith! Another time, while eating a stir fry with a peanut sauce…)
Husband: “This is good. Can I see the bottle the sauce came in so I can buy some?”
Me: “It didn’t come in a bottle, but I can give you the recipe.”
Husband: “You made this? I didn’t know a regular person could make a sauce.”
(Another time, while eating some mixed vegetables…)
Husband: “These green beans taste a little funny.”
Me: “That’s because they’re asparagus.”
