You are not going to believe this. I repeat…. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS. My husband cooked dinner this past week not once, not twice, not 3 times but 4 TIMES!!!! Sweet mother of all good things in this world, my days in the kitchen may just be numbered.
HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE? Seriously, it’s like I’m walking around in a dream or something. My husband? He can cook? You mean he’s been faking it for the last 25 years?
Pork chops with a homemade topping
The HH: “What do you mean we don’t have Shake n Bake? Do we at least have bread crumbs? I need to go to the store.”
Mavis: “No you don’t. We have these things called CRACKERS…. you but them in a baggie and SMASH them up.”
The HH: “Well then what!?”
Mavis: “You throw spices in the bag and mix it all together.”
And on and on it goes. Some days I feel like we are in an episode of the Seinfeld show and the HH and I are playing the roles of George Costanza’s parents.
He also made a delicious green bean and bacon salad.
And tomatoes with mozzarella, fresh basil and balsamic vinegar.
On the fourth night of his cooking extravaganza, I requested chicken with a peach glaze, funky rice and roasted beets. I got a little nervous when I walked by the kitchen and spotted two cans of baked beans on the counter. In the end, he made a pot of rice and chicken simmered in a jar of korma sauce from ALDI.
Not bad husband, not bad. But you know what this means now, right? 🙂 🙂 🙂 {And I know you are totally reading this!} It means CLEARLY you can cook. And you are good at it too and so I totally think you should be making at least HALF of our dinners from now on.
Am I right ladies? I mean we should not let this gift go to waste, right? My husband should take over dinner duties {or at least HALF of them} from here on out. Who’s with me on this?
My efforts in the kitchen we not as impressive this week. In between dyeing wool though I did manage to toss a pizza from ALDI in the oven.
And pick over 12 quarts of blueberries this past week.
And made corned beef in the crock pot. But that was pretty much the end of my meal making for the week. Everything else was pretty much grab and go snacks from the pantry or garden.
We did squeeze a date day in {really a wool buying trip} and tried out a new cafe for breakfast which was fantastic. Eggs Benedict. I don’t know why we don’t ever make it at home. It’s one of my all time favorite breakfast meals.
Maybe I’ll have to put it on my request list. 😉
My husband. Even after all these years, I’m still discovering his hidden talents.
Have a great Monday everyone, and if you can, get someone to make YOU dinner tonight. 😉 It makes cleaning up the dinner dishes so much easier when you’re not the one dirtying them up.
