Italian Walnut Pillow Cookies

Hubby is a firm subscriber of the belief that most men have...
the louder he screams at the T.V., the more he is controlling the game.

I mentioned it one day and my father happened to agree with hubby (shocker!) but added in that "waving your hands wildly while screaming at the T.V. ensures that you are heard"

I love the men in my life, even if they are armchair quarterbacks.

If this only lasted, say, for one sport...it wouldn't be so bad.
Hubby loooooves football (hello, his team is tattooed on him 2ce)
baseball (wanted to move our wedding date due to a "big game")
Hockey (oh kill me)
Golf
Tennis
Curling

I swear he would watch paint dry if you called it a sport.
