The carnivore strikes again
M: If I don’t have a meeting Tuesday, I’ll make stew or something out of that roast.
Me: You’ll make what? Wait… you mean the roast we cooked on Friday?
M: Yes.
Me: I’ve been eating it all weekend. Was I not supposed to do that?
M: I just thought it’d be too tough to eat.
Me: It’s quite good, actually. And half gone now. If you want to have any of it, I recommend staking your claim now, because the other half won’t last until Tuesday.
M: Oh. Well, that’s fine. [pause] You could have told me it turned out ok.
Me: [wiping gravy off chin] Sorry. It, um, turned out great. Have some for lunch?
