A steel pan lay abandoned in the sink, containing the latest attempt by the hopeless chef in making dinner for her family.  She could not figure out for the life of her what she was doing wrong.  Tina had made meat loaf for several of their dinners each time was the perfect blend of meat, vegetables and spices.  The content in the pan which resembled an old leather boot without the shoe laces was a reminder of why she should just throw in the towel.  However, with Angie in her cheering section the desperate housewife was determined to get it right.  After all Tina said it best, she didn’t want to just try to do something, she wanted to be perfect at it. 

“Okay squirt, round 2” Angie bounced in her jumper and babbled a combination of a gurgle and a hum “I agree” Bette replied and grabbed ingredients to start again.

Bette went over the list one last time to make sure she had everything in order;

Angie gurgled something to Bette who nodded in agreement.

“Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me” she went to the stove to retrieve a bottle sitting in a pot of warm water for Angie “I wasn’t about to forget about you boo.”

Angie finished off the remains in her bottle when they heard Tina walk through the door.

“Hi baby” Bette greeted while holding Angie as she tried reaching for her other mommy “Someone’s more excited than me to see you T”

“Hi boo” she picked up Angie and kissed Bette on the lips “Sorry I’m late” gave her another kiss “I missed you”

“Well you almost missed dinner, here you burp her” Bette handed Tina the baby then got up and went into the kitchen to retrieve the meal she prepared and left on low heat to keep warm.

“Honey, you cooked” Tina was excited and scared at the same time as she watched Bette bring the entrée and side items from the kitchen.  It didn’t take long before Angie let out a huge baby belch “Whoa booger!  Save it for sorority pledge day” Tina laughed at their daughter

“I thought I’d expand my horizons and learn something new” Bette said as she placed the last item in the center of the table.  Taking off the oven mitts, she pulled out a chair signaling for Tina to take a seat.
