Impressed

July 30th, 2008

My mother-in-law is a great woman, but I could tell that she never really thought that I was good enough for her daughter. I can understand really, she’s an only child, and they’re well to do. Last weekend we got invited over to their place for dinner. I know something about gourmet food, although I don’t get to eat it all of the time. I knew that her mother would be cooking up something great for us. On our way, I stopped at a gourmet grocery and bought a gourmet gift basket. It was desert items mostly, with some great cheeses, dried fruit, chocolate and ice wine. My wife insisted I didn’t need to get it, but I wanted to. Dinner was great, and her mom was actually very friendly to me. After dinner I brought out the gift basket. Her mother was excited to see it, and as I explained some of the things in the basket, the look in her eye changed. I could see that she was impressed! We ate a few of the things that night, and I left the rest with them. Her mom gave me a big hug on the way out the door. Now, I’m actually looking forward to the next time I see them.
