So tonight The Huz and I went head-to-head with dinner menus.
He in the right corner with his version of his mother's chicken and dumplings. Me in the opposite corner with canned beans and
Dinner unraveled a bit like this.
Me: "I'm not eating THAT." pointing to the chicken and dumplings. (*I* happen to have a major dumpling phobia that goes W-A-Y back.)
The Huz: "That's ok. CU-3 and 4 like it."
Me, spooning out some warmed up canned beans, looks around as CU-3 starts yelling "I want what she's having!"
Heh.
I arrive at the dinner table with now two servings of brown beans. CU-4 is already at the table with his chicken and dumplings before him, waiting to say grace. He takes one look at what CU-3 and I are having and starts making grabbing gestures towards our dinners.
I turn to The Huz "I guess he wants some ..." I say with just a bit too much glee. I get the look.
There you have it fashion lovers, Chicken and Dumplings, ZERO. Mom's specially canned baked beans 1!

I vote for the beans too!
Ah Chicken and Dumplings are really good. Beans are OK also.
I come from a long like of British folks who think beans on toast is the pinnacle of culinary yumminess. It did throw me for a minute when I read "beans and porch", that would be a bit too, um woody for me.
