Dinner Plans (subtitled Dad Emails, Part 1)

NB: "morghe pokhteh" is Persian for roasted chicken.  Also, D.H. connotes me, the Desperate Housedaughter, and MD is an abbreviation of a nickname I call my dad - Mean Dad.


The following email chain just went down between me and my dad re:  tonight's dinner situation:
