We are currently in talks about getting a puppy! Since my husband is opposed to lap dogs we have agreed to get a Labrador Retriever - black or yellow. I fell in love with one and by the time we got approved to have the dog in our townhouse she had a new owner. Now I've found another precious one and going to show her to my husband tonight hopefully!
Life as a married woman never seems to slow down and even when it does I find myself wanted to speed it up and doing lots of fun things with my husband. We currently went to a local beach (terrible day in my opinion) and on a double date with a girlfriend of mine down here that I've known for almost a year now. When we are not beach hopping or double dating we are big ole homebodies. We watch more Netflix then anyone I know and play video games and look at puppies on the internet machine. That is when there isn't laundry to do, bathrooms to clean, or cuddling to be had.
My cooking is definitely getting better - I am no longer afraid to fry things! We are trying to work out way through a butt load of meat we bought from a salesman. Yes it was out of the trunk of his car, they do exist! However we bought so much flavored chicken (southwestern, italian, honey mustard) that I don't have enough recipes to use it up. My new tactic is to thaw the chicken completely and then rinse off all of the seasoning. This works way better then I ever thought it would! Also amongst the meat we bought was all sorts of beef so we have filet mignon every other week. I feel pretty fancy when I eat it still.
Our favorite dishes so far have been an Asian chicken and rice dish which shocked my pants off because my husband hates Chinese food! And pretzel breaded chicken - dude regular fried chicken has nothing on this because it's even better the next day cold! The easiest meals to make are meatball subs, any kind of pasta dish, and most recently pizza. Homemade pizza and I had a lot of fights over the last 6 months but I have won in the end and figured out the way it works best for me - in the cast iron skillet. If you don't believe me try this recipe and your life will be changed as well!
Well I better go set the table and take the food out of the oven - it's been warming and waiting for the husband to get home.
Cheers!
