Me! I started off my morning by pulling up bookmarked recipes for fried shrimp, fried scallops, spiffily seasoned baked potatoes and wannabe Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits; AKA Dan’s Favoritest Foods Ever (though an exception might need to be made for steak). I tossed several spiffily seasoned potatoes into the oven, spent nearly an hour removing heads, tails, legs, shells, veins and poop (yes, poop) from a pound of shrimp; then I whipped up the batters for the fried shrimp and fried scallops; and when the potatoes were just about finished I whipped up the batter for the wannabe Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits and got those baking in the oven, and then set to frying up the shrimp and scallops.
Who’d have thought heaven would taste so flaky?
(As I type this, half of a kitchen’s worth of mixing bowls, measuring spoons, measuring cups and dishes fill up both my sinks and part of my kitchen counter.)
After a thoroughly delicious lunch that was thoroughly enjoyed, minus…
- me throwing up after eating a piece of biscuit and one solitary shrimp too quickly
- Ryan crying over the shrimp that he “broke” (the fried batter fell off of it
…Dan, Alyssa and I played some more Super Mario Bros. Dan, Jason and I beat Bowser and thus the entire game last week, but we still had some coins to collect from a few worlds. All that was left today was three coins in a rather pain in the ass level in world 6, and then at least half of the coins in world 8. Ugh, I HATE world 8. Lava, falling meteors and rolling cloud of doom? I’ll pass, thank you. But we did get a lot of coins collected today; I think there’s just a secret level to unlock in world 8 and its coins to collect, and then we’re ready to move onto world 9 and complete it!
And finally, right before Dan had to leave for work, I pounced on him and sent him off after a quickie that he thoroughly enjoyed. ;)
So to recap, the awesome wife award goes to ME because:
1. I made a delicious, mouthwatering lunch
2. I played video games for over an hour
3. I put out on a moment’s notice
Win!
Can I have you as my wife please?
OMG you are so cute it’s killing me!
