Valentine's Day Dinner

I should have known Valentine’s Day dinner was going to be a disaster when I found the cashier at walmart put my chocolate cake in the bag upside down. I mean what kind of stupid is that! I bring it home to see if it is salvageable. It isn’t, so I take it back and get my money back. After complaining of course. Then I make a nice dinner of Cornish hens and mashed pot and green beans. The four g-kids took one look at the hens and one of them, who I will refrain from naming, made a comment. It had something to do with an alien or other creature and where id I find “it.” The husband came to the table after hearing the many comments about the "meat" and curled his lips and ate his veggies. The coward! Now this wasn’t the first time any of us had these little chickens. He soon went back to his sick bed. Thankfully! Everyone picked at the hens. It wasn't too long before I started hearing "um I'm full I can't eat anymore of "this."" One asked if I could make chicken salad out of it since it was supposed to be a chicken - sort of. I'm sure it was the same voice that made the first negative comment. I sat and picked the meat off of eight Cornish hens. Next Feb 14th they all get corn dogs! The one nice item of the dinner was the cute cake I picked up from Publix. They do have the best cakes in town. Interesting how they got hungry again while I dissected the little aliens.
