The Scenario
Your friend, Archie, has contacted you for help.
Archie lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is engaged to be married in two months. His fiancée, Dorothy, lives in New York City.
Dorothy’s parents live in Salem, Oregon, and have never met Archie.
Next week, Dorothy’s parents are coming to Minneapolis for a work-related meeting. Archie has arranged to have Dorothy’s parents over to his apartment for dinner while Dorothy’s parents are in Minneapolis.
When Dorothy’s parents visit Archie in Minneapolis, Dorothy will not be there. The dinner will be only the three of them—Archie, Dorothy’s father, and Dorothy’s mother.
Archie is a bit nervous about the visit. He wants to impress his future in-laws with a dinner he will cook. However, Archie does not typically cook. He usually goes out for food when he needs to have a meal.
Archie has asked you for help. He would like you to write a recipe that he can follow, a recipe for a dish that he would feel confident serving Dorothy’s parents during their visit.
