healthy meals for your family, but that doesn’t always mean they have to be fancy or take a long time. Trav loves my grilled cheese too.”
    The camera swung to Trav. “Love her grilled cheese.”
    “Well,” Jessica huffed. “I suppose. There are some gourmet grilled cheese places in the city. Could you make some of that homemade cream of tomato soup to go with it?”
    Why did I spend so much time describing food on my blog? Probably because I wrote late at night when I was getting the munchies, but too tired to make anything. My fantasy food life.
    Daisy pretended to think about that. “Soup, well…”
    “We’re all out of tomatoes, honey,” Trav said.
    “Yes, that’s what I was just about to say,” Daisy said, nodding vigorously. “We’re all out. Sorry, no soup.”
    Jessica stared at her blandly. “Okay, let’s see this famous grilled cheese.”
    “Sure,” Daisy said. “I just need to get the bread.”
    She opened the breadbox on the counter and found a collection of Pez dispensers all lined up inside. She slammed the lid down and heard the clatter of Kiss , the Simpsons, and what appeared to be the Founding Fathers taking a dive to the counter. She turned to Trav. His eyes darted to the refrigerator.
    Daisy opened the fridge. “I forgot I moved the bread to the refrigerator to keep it fresh longer. Yes, here it is. And the butter and cheese too. Perfect!”
    She pulled half the loaf from the store bag, grabbed the package of sliced cheese and butter, and set it all on the counter next to the stove.
    Jessica stared at the cheese. “I didn’t know they made organic American cheese. Isn’t that processed?”
    Daisy snatched the cheese off the counter, hiding the label. “Not this kind. We get it from a health food store nearby, Gary’s Greens & More.” She decided to put in a plug for her dad’s friend Gary. “That’s also where I buy natural grape soda and the most delicious chocolate cookie sandwiches.”
    “You think soda and cookies are healthy?” Jessica asked.
    “They are at the health food store,” Daisy said as she spread butter on some bread. She glanced around the kitchen, trying to decide where Maggie would keep the frying pan. There were a lot of cabinets. Well, most people kept it in a cabinet near the stove, right?
    She opened the cabinet to her right and quickly shut it.
    Troll dolls. Each one next to an empty beer bottle. Little troll party in there.
    She tried the cabinet to the left. Tin baking molds—camel, pig, chicken, weird doll-like people. Her eyes widened. Was that a giant—she slammed the cabinet. What was wrong with Maggie? Didn’t she own a frying pan? Her heart kicked up, and energy shot down her legs. She would not bolt. She could still pull this off.
    “Looking for something?” Jessica asked.
    “As a matter of fact, yes.” Daisy turned to Trav. “Honey, did you put the frying pan in a different place the last time you washed the dishes?”
    Trav leaped forward. “Yes. I stuck it in the oven to dry since the oven was still warm.” He fetched it from the oven and handed it to her. She never would’ve thought to look there. She was very afraid to find out what else lurked in Maggie’s cabinets.
    “Thank you,” she said.
    He surprised her by giving her a quick hard kiss. “You’re welcome.”
    She stared at him, momentarily forgetting her grilled cheese mission.
    He smiled widely. “I’m a huge distraction. Let me step out of the way.”
    Jessica wagged her finger. “Oh, I think I know what’s going on here.”
    “You do?” Daisy asked.
    Trav stood, frozen in place.
    “Your Darling Husband is the secret chef around here, isn’t he? That’s why you don’t know where things are.”
    “He is,” Daisy agreed immediately. “He helps out a lot. It just makes me love him more.”
    “Thank you.” Trav kissed her hair. Thank goodness he didn’t kiss her on the lips again. It left her mind a complete blank. “But the grilled cheese is her
