Pat from Walla Walla was a recent friend of Chuck's and she came for a visit and stay overnight in our house in Seattle.
I had cooked fish fillets for dinner and must have fretted about the leftovers for Pat said
Oh, I always eat that for breakfast.
Being unwise in the ways of women, and particularly this woman,
and wanting to make a good impression for Chuck's sake,
I served her the fish for breakfast, neatly garnished and with a piece of toast.
She did not forgive me for a long time.
When we finally could talk about the fish-for-breakfast disaster she said:
Alan, you could at least have heated it.

If I recall correctly, you didn't back then, and still don't have a microwave.. so how were you suppsed to reheat the fish without destroying it?! maybe she wanted it with a bit parsley and lemon or some martha stewart like trimings, I wouldn't worry about it! as you said.. women...
