dream come true

one fine saturday in febrauary (that's how far behind i am on posting), i came home from the temple to find the follow scenario:
*the laundry done
*the clutter picked up
*vacuum lines on the carpet (i'm not sure if i prefer that or a pile of money. close call)
*aaron in the kitchen, depicted in the photo below


this is not a normal occurrence. aaron hates cooking. a lot. sees no need for it. waste of time. has a bunch of excuses that makes my head explode. he hates it so much so that this image is akin to spotting bigfoot.



how could he hate what i love? oh, the humanity.

anyway, he decided to make jamaican jerk chicken from the WS cookbook he recently bought me (see it there in the background?). note the bag of doritos that was his cooking companion. i think that would be his scotch if we drank. note all the garlic on the cutting board. he thought a bulb was a clove and the recipe calls for 8 cloves. oh yeah. i came home just in the nick of time.

i pointed him to my mini food processor and i think he wept for joy at not having to chop all that by hand. and for knowing he didn't have to add all that garlic. the chicken turned out great and i had a fine saturday off.
and i was aided in remembering what a great hus i have.

Way to go Aaron. Just goes to show you, that opposites do attract! Plus if vacuuming makes her that happy, you don't have to spend a pile of money! That's a m-i-l tip!

He look very manly in the kitchen. Did note the Doritos first-off. What a guy. On Saturday I snacked on Bottlecaps and honey mustard pretzels doing prep for Sunday. It was a shame to eat junk food but I was happy throughout. Sigh. Interestingly, they go well together. Then I think they made me queasy but not till later on.
