as of 11.30 eastern time, each of our basic positions is:


me: we'll split the cost of ingredients three ways. darryl will cook and minz will wash up and provide the fancy plates and posh napkins and you will eat and not criticise.


von: are you sure you don't want to just go to evoo instead?


darryl: now i'm too stressed to cook. what about a simple dinner instead? hunks of good cheeses and bread from hi-rise and simple omelette and wine?


fine, fine, fine, she says, aggrieved and feeling like eccles.
