In general, Henry and I work well together in the kitchen when he’s preparing something Peruvian and showing me, more or less, how to make it. And when we’re making things just for ourselves and friends, his, well, lackadaisical approach to things is no big deal, but I remembered from our first Peruvian dinner how last minute and panicked everything was for lack of planning. So I really tried to gently nudge him to get things done in advance. On the eve before the dinner he casually let slip that he hadn’t bothered yet to go out to Liniers and buy all the various special ingredients needed, so I’d have to go in the morning… that started things on a bit of a downslide. WE went the following morning, over his protests of being tired, got everything purchased, and headed back in to cook. Things being a little tense, he asked me to leave him alone in the kitchen for a bit, and I needed a bit of a walk, so I headed out for an hour… only to return and find a note from him that he’d gone to meet some friends at the University and would be back later.
