The next day, March 16th 1991
Michael told Desmond he's in charge at the restaurant all day today since Bailey was too busy with her laptop and Veronica was going to the Ranch with him all day
"Ok, what do you want me to make for your parents?" Veronica asked when they were on their way to the Ranch, Veronica at the passengers seat and Michael driving
"Um what do you suggest?" Michael asked
"For the starter I could make soup or a salad and something meat or fish for maincourse and cheesecake or Irish coffee for dessert" Veronica answered
"Sounds good" Michael replied
"All of it?" Veronica asked
"Yes, what kind of salad?" Michael asked
"Italian-ish, croutons, parmesan cheese, tomatoes, olive oil dressing, cappacio and rucola leaves" Veronica answered
"Sounds good" Michael smiled
"It's just a simple starter" Veronica mentioned
"Why aren't you a chef if you know so much about cooking?" Michael asked
"Because I can't cook, bake or fry anything under pressure and for more than ten people at the time" Veronica answered
"Yeah it's kind of important to function under pressure if you're a chef" Michael agreed
"And I love it that my job isn't always the same, I love the diversity of it, I would go crazy if I'm only allowed to do the same thing everyday again" Veronica replied
"Just don't overwork yourself ok" Michael told her
"I won't" Veronica promised

Veronica was in the kitchen starting with the menu she had planned out, also making mini menu cards she had put on the table in the dining room after neatly setting the table too while Michael was catching up with his parents in the livingroom when they arrived
Once Veronica was done with the preparations for dessert and the maincourse she made the salad that would be the starter and placed it on the dinner table before making her way to the living room to inform them dinner was ready
"Who's the blonde?" Joseph asked
"Veronica, she is my employee and friend" Michael answered leading both his parents towards the dining area
"Would you like to join us?" Katherine asked Veronica, starting her match making plan since she saw her and Michael earlier that day in the kitchen when they arrived and it looked like they had fun together
"Mother, please" Michael sighed knowing his mother would try having them be married by the end of the week, she tried it before
"I can't sit down, I'm making dinner" Veronica replied politely
"Michael, dear could you check on the stove?" Katherine asked
"That's not ne-" Veronica began
"Dear my son knows how to cook, don't worry" Katherine assured her and offered her the empty chair next to her
"Mother" Michael complained
"Watch it" Joseph glared at him while Michael sighed before getting up to check on the stove like his mother told him
"Sit" Katherine repeated to Veronica
