Zip Your Lip and Compliment


Ladies and Gentlemen,

You have just been handed a meal that your significant other has cooked for you. It may have been thrown together in 20 minutes, or it may have been slaved over for a couple of hours, or the better part of a day.

How about if the meal had been talked about by your sweetheart as one of the best entrees of its kind, "A gourmet feast that resembled pieces of heaven."

What if you had been working all day, and your partner had also been running crazy, but yet, you were still served a meal? You didn't need to call for takeout, or be told, " Honey, get ready, we're going out."

What if you ate this meal prepped and served on a platter, and you liked it, but didn't love it? Maybe you didn't like it at all. Or, maybe you thought it was good, but thought it needed something, and you were thinking you might suggest that little "something."

If any of this pertains to you, here are some suggestions as to how to react. First: Feel Damn Lucky! Second: Tell your cook how much you appreciated the meal. That's all you need to do.

And........NEVER, I repeat NEVER suggest that they add a certain little something, or say, " It was really good, but can I make a suggestion?"
Because, you know what kind of recipe you'll be served next time?
DISASTER!
