Covered the pile of potatoes with some grated cheese, topped with a pair of sunny side up eggs, a healthy dose of hot sauce - it annoys my wife a bit when I eat runny eggs and mix it all up into a gooey mess, but it was SO good. She likes her eggs scrambled hard, rubbery and dry. So it goes.
But I can relate to having BAD breakfasts at various restaurants. Not a way to start the day.

On those occasions when I have to cook for my wife's family, there is certainly some depression involved, and it is not just due to their limited sense of eating adventure. I'm working on that.
One brother in law has some sort of gastro-intestinal issue, the name I can't remember. There are a limited number of items he can eat, and spices are basically out of the question. If he took a couple bites of the chicken enchilada I made last night, he'd be in the hospital for a week, likely the ICU.
As one who gets such joy and satisfaction out of cooking and culinary adventure, it saddens me to see people who are so limited in their eating. In his case, it is due to medical reasons. Those who put on the gastronomical blinders by choice are really depressing!

Once I really wanted to have Thanksgiving dinner at home with my wife and kids. My MIL had planned for them to go over to her place the last few Thanksgivings and I told my wife I wanted to have a special dinner at home and she said "ok". I told her what I was going to make. (I don't get along with her mom at all).
I made both turkey and ham, cranberry sauce from scratch, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, turkey dressing, green beans with bacon, garlic and spices, a salad and a couple of dressings, pumpkin pie and another pie (I forget what it was). That might not have been the whole list. Well, at about 3:00 Thanksgiving day she said she was going over to her parents' place. Things were close to being ready. They got back at about 10 PM. The food was really good but it was depressing to eat by myself.
