Yesterday we went to visit my aunt and uncle. They are such fun people, we all get along much more like friends than relatives.
My aunt and I got to discussing some new recipes we have tried as of late. She showed me her nutty bacon thing she plans on making (waiting for her to send me the recipe) and we discussed these burgers that were for dinner last night.
I swear men have such selective hearing. Had we of been talking about anything else, he still would have been glued to the T.V. with my uncle.
This is what he heard "blah blah vegetarian dinner tonight blah blah" and some man alarm went off inside him and he felt the need to step in.
Hubby: What was that you said, we are having burgers made with spinach and feta?
Me: Yup, you heard right
Aunt: You have to send me that recipe, I want to try it. Just me. None of my guys will touch it.
Hubby: And rightfully so, burgers have MEAT...otherwise they are just patties on a bun.
Me: :::sigh::: you like everything that is in them
Hubby: Yeah, but burgers are meat. When do I get to start having a say in this?
Me: When you start doing all the planning, all the cooking, and all the cleaning...you can then do all the deciding.
Needless to say, nothing else was said about it.
We get home, I am making dinner, and very quietly I hear..."hey, something smells really good"
:::smile:::
Dinner is now served. Hubby takes one bite and says something like "oh my word, this is really good, in fact, I can't wait until you make them again"
Is this really the same guy I came home with last night?
Happy wife though, he listened to me!
