My
girlfriend was strictly advised by her dietician, to not touch carbs. However,
she blatantly defied her dieticians directions and kept eating whatever made
her salivate. Yes, she is a foddie. She often takes me to new restaurants where
odd and unique dishes are served, and I end up either loving the experience, or
being absolutely disgusted. One of the places had Pav-bhaji fondue, which
sounded disgusting to me, but turned out to be absolutely delicious.

Her
birthday was coming up in the first week of August, and I was at my wits end as
to what surprise to get her. We were in a relationship for over five years, and
in that time I had done it all! That’s why I couldn’t think of any new way to
surprise her. I sought advise from my mom, who suggested that I cook a meal for
her. The idea was pretty good. There was nothing that would surprise my foodie
girlfriend more than seeing a n entire meal cooked by me, only for her. There
was only one big flaw in this otherwise perfect plan, and that was that I could
not cook to save my life! I looked at my mom with desperation, as if she would
teach me to cook in five days. The comical montage played in my head. But my
mom, dispelled all my worries and simply said one word. A word that was used in
households for decades. A word that brought smiles on the faces of children and
adults alike. “McCain”.

My
mom didn’t need to explain any further. On the morning of my girlfriend’s
birthday I bought a pack of McCain Super Wedges, McCain Cheese & Jalapeno Nuggets,
McCain French Fries, McCain Smiles, McCain Chilli Garlic Potato Bites and some
of McCain’s other finger licking potato treats. Now, McCaine’s products are
easy to prepare and required little to no effort on my part. I plated the food
and decorated the house. I also dimmed the lights and lit candles which I
placed on the table. I was about to give her a “McCain Candle Light Birthday
Dinner” brought to her by her’s truly.

The
door bell rang. I checked myself in the mirror, before I went open it. She
walked in. The aroma took her by surprise. “What’s that amazing smell?”, she
asked. I took her to the dining table. It was completely covered with McCain’s
delights . The table could not be seen at all. It was as though McCain’s potato
goodies were just levitating in the air, awaiting her arrival. She looked at
the beautiful scene that was before her. Tears of happiness slowly sarted
appearing her eyes. I wiped those tears as I gave her a long hug and pulled up
a chair for her. There, in the dim-lit room, we sat, stuffing ourselves with only
a part of the huge variety that McCain had to offer. The McCain Smiles had put a smile on her face. She said, “Thank you. This
was one of the best birthday surprises I have ever had. And it’s all thanks
to……” I puffed my chest waiting to get the credit for the effortless meal that
I prepared. “…McCain.” she said.
