Million Dollar Skeet

Malinda, Del and baby Jackson are all in town and I got to cook for them last night!  You don't understand, if I have something to cook at the end of the day I will look forward to it the.entire.day.

I'm sick like that.

So I decided to make them my special lasagna with homemade bolognese sauce and lots of bechamel(KEY ingredient).  I also made some herb bread sticks which did not rise and thus became herb...crackers.  For dessert we had tiramisu which Chuck said had "whipped cream" in it and I about came unglued...ha..UUUMMMMM NO it's custard ThankYouVeryMuch, and my grandmothers chocolate pie.

SO GOOD and I don't care if it is 90 degrees outside today I.Will.Run.

Anyway, about the whole looking forward to cooking thing...it's true.  I worked my butt off all day Monday so that I could come home and make chicken pasta with veggies, blueberry-pear muffins, tiramisu and chocolate pie..all of which took me until 10 pm. 

My only downfall is that when I cook that late in the evening I start eating a little bit of EVERYTHING I am cooking.

Chuck thinks I'm crazy..and he is 100% correct.

I tell him all the time that I can't wait to go home and bake and he "oh really"'s and "that's nice"'s me when I know he is actually looking at the laptop in his car.  I'mOntoYou.  And when I talk about how much I would love to have a restaurant one day(which I already have an imaginary name and par-menu for) he unabashedly kills the dream by saying things like "and where do you plan on getting this money?", "wow the dairy business must be lucrative" and my personal favorite "BAHA!".  Thanks honey.

I envision my dreams like million-dollar skeet and he is the only one with a gun...AK-47 at that. 

Blowin' them out of the sky.

Me: "Hey I was thinking this would be a great place for a restaurant!"
Chuck: KA-BOOM!
Me:  "It could actually work!  What do you think?"
Chuck: CH-CH KA-BOOM!

Welcome to my world.

I know he is just trying to "keep it real" by not letting me get my hopes up and I do appreciate that..but you have to have dreams right?!  He really is good to me though, and he puts up with my mop-bucket tomato plants which says alot because you know there have to be other oddities lurking about.

I will keep dreaming, cooking and driving Chuck crazy..oh and I want to leave you with this...

Yesterday I was feeding one of my groups of cows and I was backing the mixing-wagon out of the barn..which you absolutely cannot see around..and when I began to turn the corner...

This is what I saw...

Is he not THE GREATEST?
Oh my gosh I love them so much!

Have a wonderful day!
