how i met your father
i was gordon's cook at university for a semester. you ask how did this happen? an old roommate of mine knew an apartment of boys who wanted a cook. being a poor starving student i guess it sounded attractive. especially when she said they were from "wealthy families" and were also cute.
so i cooked for four "20 something year old guys".
every evening the running joke was what is she going to make from
"scratch"?
