There was only one time my family didn't eat my cooking, I chose to do a
curried chicken. That was a mistake , we had never had curry before. We all
took one taste and put or forks down, my father asked us all if we would
like to go out to a steak house...didn't hurt my feelings one bit, that
curry tasted awful...but I was 15 and not 10.
