Our Conversation About Dinner

[Scene: The kitchen. A sharp aroma hangs in the air.]

 

ME: (entering) “What’s that smell?”

DESIREE: “Fish sauce.”

ME: “It doesn’t smell very good. What are we eating, exactly?”

DESIREE: “Veggies.”

ME: “Well, the fish sauce doesn’t smell great.”

DESIREE: “It’s fermented.”

ME: “That makes sense. Do I like veggies with fish sauce?”

DESIREE: “Of course.”

ME: “Good to know.”
