Perfect
Lidija came to work feeling tired, nauseous, and unslept the day before yesterday.
Ivy: What happened to you, my cherry pie?
Lidija: Don’t ask! Ivan cooked beans for lunch yesterday and although it was barely eatable, he ate it for supper too. My god, it wasn’t enough that the beans tasted awful, but he also burped and farted all night and it stunk horribly. I thought I would die how badly it smelled like he ate a dead cat or something. I moved to the living room to sleep, but I couldn’t, the whole apartment terribly smelled. No air refresher and having open windows helped. I cannot forbid him eating beans, but I can forbid him from cooking it …
We blasted in laughter. My Prince told her to go home and rest if she wants, but she thanked him and said she’ll rather stay working.
But it gave my Prince the idea to make beans stew according to his father’s receipt that everyone in his family loved. He asked my Ivy and me if we would like it for lunch. Since he is waaay better cook than Ivan and since we like his dishes, we said we would, joking we’ll eat it only if we wouldn’t fart like Ivan. He checked his obligations, and seeing he is not needed, he called home and asked my mom if she started to make lunch for us. When she said she didn’t, he told her he’ll come home soon and make a lunch for all of us. My Fran asked if he and Stipe might come too. We agreed and I also invited Malicija and Silvano since he is already at our house and she is coming with me. Anyway, my luvs went to the grocery shop and bought everything he needs (dry pork neck, dry ribs, and selected beans) for the bean stew. All other ingredients we had at home.
Of course, his shadow, my Ivy, went with him and assisted him after she appointed her substitute. Our children also helped in cooking by adding things into the pots when he told them. (He separately cooked meat and the beans at the beginning and then he cooked them together. Those ingredients had to be added at a certain time, not too early and not too late because they wouldn’t be effective). It took him some three hours to make it. Anyway, the whole house smelled very nice of bean stew when I arrived home. Since we couldn’t eat earlier because we worked till 17.00, we ate a few minutes before 18.00. It was more like early supper. Now, I want you to believe me that I say this without exaggeration: every single one of us was thrilled with his beans stew. It was the best one we ever ate. You couldn’t find a single flaw like: it should be less salty/saltier, or the meat, or beans are not cooked enough or they are overcooked and similar. It was perfect. We ate it all. Even our children. Everyone commended his stew and his cooking skills and he was declared as “family official beans stew cook” which means: from now on, nobody in the family is allowed to cook a bean stew for us, but him. He smiled contently and happily saying that he is glad we liked his meal.
Now, why am I telling you all of this? Usually, the bean stew is a heavy meal that makes you feel like you ate rocks, but not his stew. It had only one natural side effect that all beans have: creating gases or if you prefer, it made us fart. Every single one of us farted. We died laughing forming a fart orchestra when lying in bed before sleep. Our children laughed too whenever some of us farted. Interestingly, the farts had no smell. They were more odorless gases. We asked him how it is possible and he told us that the main reason lies in the type of beans and then, in the ingredients you add to the stew that neutralizes bad substances from beans that beans release during cooking.
It wouldn’t be a problem at all if we farted only during the night, but we have that problem yesterday at work. Although our farts didn’t smell, my Fran and I felt uncomfortable farting in front of our helpers, we sent them to other offices. 
Anyway, we asked Lidija how she feels and she said she is still nauseous but she’s recovering. When we told her about my Prince’s bean stew and how it is odorless, she was very thrilled. She said she’ll tell Ivan to ask my Prince to teach him to make the bean stew. Now, although my Prince’s bean stew was perfect, we decided we’ll have it only once a month because of its side effect.
