Call it bad luck

Three nights.
Three new recipes.
Three failures.

Matt wouldn't completely agree. He enjoyed Saturday night's soup. There's a good chance I'll make it again, but I know what to alter to make it not suck. Failure #1
Sunday night's soup would have been great. Unfortunately, in the excitement of going to pick up Walter I over cooked and burned it. Failure #2
I blame Monday night's honey chicken on a crappy recipe that will never be altered or attempted again. 6 chicken breasts down the drain. Failure #3

But I'm not discouraged. I've found a few great recipes so far. Matt (and sometimes the McP's) will continue to be my guinea pig while I build up my recipe arsenal.

Bliss

Yesterday Matt and I made two years! We officially celebrated on Saturday with dinner at Galatoire's.

Our main courses, red fish for me and stuffed eggplant for Matt, were perfect. I don't think it could have been any tastier.
Gifts were exchanged afterwards. My fantastic husband got me 700 thread count ivory Pottery Barn sheets with our monogram.

They are so soft and beautiful! Matt is a wonderful gift giver - I am so lucky!!
I gave him a jacket and monogrammed handkerchiefs. I guess we both had the monogram itch, but what a great itch to have!! If I had a monogramming machine my name and initials would be on everything! Maybe I should put that on my wish list. I wonder how much those puppies are...
We played it low key last night with crock pot pork roast, nintendo, and Ellen. Two ended on a high note and three has started off well - the sun is shining and I am happy. What more can you ask for?

An apple a day my foot!

A spoonful of sugar comes in many forms.

Picked up for myself while getting my prescriptions.

And

Waiting for me when I got home.

Sad to say my booty still hurts on both sides (yes two shots). And I'm on 3 drugs. Forgive me if I fall asleep mid-conversation or start blabbering nonsense.

Trimming Down

Today I successfully made a dinner list for 10/7 - 10/23.

I consider this a step in the direction of cutting out overspending at the grocery and Subway. The list is complete with 5 new recipes and ingredients that need to be purchased.
I WILL become Betty freaking Homemaker!

And just to make you a little jealous... I went here while in Hotlanta...
