Been married nearly 52 years. Many years ago my wife made pork chops in
wine. One time I overcooked chicken wings. They were the only truly
inedible meals we made.

There have been meals that were less spectacular than anticipated or we
did not bother to keep leftovers. Burned a cake on the bottom, but cut
it in half and ate the rest.
