Forgive me . . . please?

-
Friends,

I have something to share.
I am prepared that some of you might be angry with me after sharing this.
Some of you might be down right jealous of me.
Some of you might think that I don't deserve this.
Others might think I'm throwing it in your face.

And that's all pretty much true.

Because tonight,
my man . . .
this man . . .

. . . made our family dinner.

And not just ANY dinner, my friends.

We're talking home made pasta gravy and meatballs right from the Buca Di Beppo cookbook. 

Seriously.

While I sat working this evening,
this man . . . 


 . . . grated the parmesan, mixed up the meatballs,
and put out one of the most delicious meals I've ever had.

Seriously.

I forgot to take a picture of the before . . .
so here is a little bit of the after.

Don't hate me, friends.

Truth is . . .
if you lived near us, he'd make you dinner too.
Because, you see, he cooks quite often.
I'm married to a regular Mario Batali!
I KNOW!!!

Oh, and right now as I sit here writing to you . . . he's doing the dishes.

Yes, I know how blessed I am.

Tonight, I just had to share it.

Ciao!

(thank you, honey. I LOVE YOU and your pasta dinner, too!)

    Oh, how I absolutely love this! My hubbie cooks sometimes too, and he is fantastic! I always lament, should I tell anyone else that I have a great cook for a husband and he actually enjoys being in the kitchen?!?!? Ha ha, LOVE IT!

    Shut UP! No way! LOL I didn't know that kind of man existed! ;-) You are totally blessed, indeed, as is HE. I think you are a darling couple and family. Did you know that when I sit down to read blogs, yours is the first I run to? Yep, really! :-)

    I think it is fabulous that PG cooked such a splendid dinner for you. Every wife deserves to have her hubby cook dinner for her at least once in a while! Love that he did that for you and yes, you do deserve it!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
