So I’m learning to cook, in the Better Late than Never category.  Tonight I made my first-ever roast chicken, and the Actual Conversation In My House went something like this;

Me: I made my first-ever roasted chicken**! Isn’t it beautiful??

Navy Guy: You roasted it upside down.

Me: But at least it’s roasted. And beautiful! And I made my first-ever gravy that turned out great!!

Navy Guy: Too much salt in the gravy.

Me: WELL, AT LEAST I TOOK OUT THE FREAKING PLASTIC BAGS OF GUNK, UNLIKE THAT TIME WITH THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
