Slow Roast
Why didn’t you tell me you were hungry? I’ll cook for you.
This dish will take hours to prepare, though. Do you have time? How big is your appetite? I need to make sure I have enough of the right ingredients. Thighs, ribs, breast? Maybe I’ll get a whole chicken.
Do butter and herbs sound appetizing for the stuffing? I can pair it with roasted potatoes. Maybe some rice to soak up all the juices. Would that be enough?
I’m not sure about drinks. I’ll let you bring your favorite. I’m sure I’ll love whatever you decide to pour into my cup.
It was really late at night when I heard, through some strangers, that you wanted to eat. I think I was half asleep, so I couldn’t tell if I was hearing it correctly. I still think I might have been dreaming. Either way, next time you get hungry again, you can just come over. In my dreams the table is already set for you.
