Why yes, as a matter of fact.

My son is spending the night at a friend's house but I told my daughter
she could invite her boyfriend over for dinner.

I made stuffed garlic bread, chicken picatta and steamed broccoli.

Dear daughter and her beau were starving and the cooking smells were
sheer torture. When I asked them to please unload the dishwasher and
set the table, I swear I'd only turned away for a second and the
requested tasks were done and they were seated at the table, eyeing the
stuffed garlic bread they'd been warned not to cut yet to avoid molten
cheese burns.

With just a couple of minutes left on the broccoli's cooking time I took
pity on them and told them they could start on the bread, but to be
careful. I heard a yelp and a hiss but the numnum noises that followed
attracted the dogs who began circling the table like sharks.

The chicken was wonderful, with plenty of tangy sauce to dunk the
broccoli in, and of course the bread was obscenely rich. Dessert was
squares of dark chocolate, or clementines.
