In exchange for some mushroom dishes as we travel [and having to cook less often for herself] I'll see what I can do about learning to make a fruit cake, and treat you to Chinese cooking when we stop in towns like this until I manage to figure it out.

It's a pretty good deal, if I say so myself. We'll both get something out of it, and you even have a placeholder offer until I can properly make good on my end of the deal.
