Lis told me to step up my game, so I did.

Couple nights ago, Lis let me know that the meals I was preparing were just . . . boring. We were doing the same things over and over again -- and I wasn't doing them WELL. I was merely doing them . . . edible-y. And she told me that she was really hoping for better meals, and that she trusted I could.

So I did.

Actually, it's not any harder to cook food with more flavor in it. Tonight, for instance: take chicken breasts. Smash them flat with a pot, to make cooking easier. Pour Worcestershire sauce on them and rub it in. Get a pan nice and hot with a little oil in them. Put chicken in breadcrumbs, and drop them in the pan. Fry up.

Things like Worcestershire sauce mean that you can get all the flavor you want with only one ingredient.

Oh, believe me -- there's one in Arlington, two blocks from where I grew up, actually, and we go there.
