ANOTHER YEAR OLDER AND WORKING HARD




Well, I am now 63 years old. My oh so sweet husband has either taken me out to eat every day or we have bought food that only had to be heated OR he did the cooking this entire week!!! My husband is really a good cook. My special forces take no prisoners super macho daredevil husband really enjoys cooking at home and not just on the grill, either. While he is fantastic on the grill, (I concede quietly and just stand there handing him tongs, seasonings, lemonade, ash tray {yes he started back smoking after stopping a whole year}, whatever book he is reading and wait on him hand and foot like a good wife should and then clean up the 'mess' left behind. But it really is worth it. He grills the best steaks, chicken breasts, ribs, pork loin, etc. But his really good cooking is fried chicken. For a Yankee (that's a non southerner) he does really really good fried chicken. I will try to get a pic of his chicken this week.
He just informed me that my birthday week is over now. We went to Wally World and their can pumkin has finally come in (we bought 8 large cans today) and my sweet toooth husband informed me that tomorrow I have to bake a pumkin pie (his all time favorite dessert) **** with a 'from scratch' pie crust**** . I guess my 'cooking holiday' is really over. We also bought the makings for oatmeal cookies (hummmm good), too.
Guess I will have to get the aprons back out.
Well, I guess that is about it. He just came thru to tell me it is his turn to get on the computer.
Dear God, please watch over all of us.
Mary
