The Entry: My husband, Rooster, fell in love with me a year after I fell in love with him. I wooed him with homemade dinners, picnic lunches, even took him grocery shopping so I could cook in his apartment. After exhausting my culinary repertoire and my pride, I gave up; started dating people who were interested in being more than “just friends”. Soon after, Rooster came around not with a dozen roses but with a dozen eggs. He hardly said a word. Just went into the kitchen and started whisking yolks. It was a disastrous omelet, but it kicked off something great!
