Anna and Robert are so in love with each other, and so they decided to tie the knot as soon as possible. But they have one big problem. Anna must first pass the approval of Consuelo, who is Robert’s mother.

If you would look at Anna, there is really nothing disagreeable about her. She is beautiful, kind, well-mannered, charming, educated, smart-almost everything a good lady possessed-except that Robert’s mother is not really looking at these qualities. Consuelo is only concerned if her future daughter-in-law knows how to cook or not. She judged the character of a wife by the way she cooks a meal.

She often told Robert, “You know son, I really don’t care whether the woman you choose to be your wife is rich or not, pretty or ugly, as long as you love her and she loves you and the most important of all is that she could cooked at least a decent meal.”

This is where the problem lies because Anna cannot cook anything without burning it. She really was not fond of cooking or staying in the kitchen for so long. Robert knew this and he really is worried that her mother will not approve of Anna, his only love. Robert told Anna the condition of his mother for his bride to be approved. But Anna was not worried, not even one bit. Even if Robert told her that his mother would send their faithful servant Selina to watch over her when she cooks a meal. Robert said that his mother wanted to make sure that it is really Anna who will cook the meal she will served to them.

She just laughed this off saying, “Relax, Robert, my love. If that what’s your mother like, then I shall cooked her a meal she will never forget for a long, long time.”

Then she told him to bring her mother over for dinner the following Sunday. And so it was set that Robert and her mother will have dinner at Anna’s house at 7 pm next Sunday.

Soon it was Sunday. Anna told Robert to send Selina over to their house early in the morning because she might want to witness also how good she is at marketing and she will have to prepare quite a number of special dishes to impress his mother. And she may start to cook early. Then Selina added with humor, “Your mother may not want Selina to miss all the action, so please send her over here now and fast.”
