the best compliment i ever got on my cooking

Now, I have had compliments on my cooking before, but this one tops them all. One night over the summer, I made my Surf and Turf with White Wine Sauce. Now, at this time we lived out in the woods, so my brother decided there just had to be a campfire out there somewhere. So, he proceeded to make one. And I made the dinner. Beef tenderloin steaks smothered with baby scallops and mussels, with a heavenly sauce of garlic, shallots and white wine all over the top. And to go with it some fresh asparagus. I was really looking forward to eating this, and so was my friend Skye that was over for dinner. He always went straight for the fridge, because I don't eat leftovers. So, I plated everyone's dinners and we proceeded to eat out by the campfire. As Skye was eating, he was so in love with the food that he dropped his last bite on the ground. He was so upset, and he loved the dinner so much that he picked it right back up off the ground and ate it!! Now that must have been some amazing food if he was willing to eat it off the ground like that! Him and I still to this day tell people this story when people don't believe how good my food is. I know he will be first in line at the grand opening my of my restaurant. Thanx Skye!!
