Well, all I can say, @newageinv, is it's hit and miss for sure. This one happened to be the hit. I've had other perfectly good meals (I enjoyed them, anyway) that no one else seemed all that thrilled about.

It's not like I particularly like to cook—I do it because it gives my daughter-in-law a break and because my wife is the one working. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in the rotation at all. I don't need validation. It's the opposite. I don't want to be wasting my time. If people don't like the what I cook, I'm more than happy to step aside and let someone else do it. So far, no takers. :)
