She believed her husband, Matt, was largely on the same page until recently, when she started to smell a gassy foulness from him after he returned home from business trips. “I know what smells meaty,” she says, laughing.

You ought to, honey, you're made of it. I wouldn't blame the poor sumbitch for resorting to pickled eggs, refried beans, and a sixer of cheap beer for a little revenge.

“It wasn’t just the compost,” Claudia says, “but it raised some control issues that we couldn’t resolve.”

Hmm...ya reckon?

The Chicken Cordon Bleus
Steve Goodman

When I first met you baby you fed me on chicken and wine
It was steak and potatoes and lobster and babe I sure felt fine
But now all you ever give me is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts
And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts
You left me here with the Chicken Cordon Bleus

My stomach is empty and all I got is food for thought
I been up all nite thinkin' 'bout the twenty pounds of groceries we bought
We bought ten lbs of brown rice and five more of beans
And five pounds of granola and you know what that means,
I'm just a regular fella with the Chicken Cordon Bleus

I'm starved for affection and I don't think I can stand no more
This stuff is so wierd that the cock roaches moved next door
Can you see that old dog out in the street
He's got a big smile on his face
Cause they let him meat
Babe I got the lemon and the Chicken Cordon Bleus

Yeah I'm goin down to the baker and get me a cannoli.
and Maybe a chocolate eclaire would be nice...

I'd lose her like a sock. She's upset because she can't control him when she isn't around.
