Veuve Clicquot Rose & Self-Study

It is almost 7 p.m. on Monday night. Lisa and I are starting a pilau rice; she is teaching me. As we wait for the rice to soak I'm enjoying a nice glass of Veuve rose and a day-old garam masala paratha (which I learned to make yesterday). There is something to be said not only for learning new things, but learning them with your partner. We've been married close to nine years. The bread is better a day older, the same is true for our relationship - we have always been insanely in tune with one-another - the cooking together is just adding to that.
