I have been a coffee drinker for as long as I can remember. I have taken my coffee black since 2004. Bret has never really been a coffee drinker.

Recently though, he’s been having a few more cups a week with me. Every time I ask if he wants a cup of coffee and he says yes, it still surprises me. Today was no different.

Like the mug with our mugs? We offer them on our website!

I also watched this video about marriage today. By the end of the second viewing (Bret was distracted on my first viewing) I was crying like a little baby because I’m just so happy with Bret. I feel overwhelmingly blessed. Enjoy!

Day 921 – Fish and Chips…er….Salad

I’ve been on a salad kick this week. Not in a new year’s resolution kind of way, but in a “wow, we’ve been eating TERRIBLE since before Thanksgiving.” I think it was also kicked into gear after living on Cup-O-Noodles, Energy Drinks, soda and nacho cheese for the last three weeks. ::shudder::

So! I’ve mostly been eating salads with a little bit of turkey sausage. It’s been a really great addition. Last night, we had a really awesome batch of Tilapia. I mean, almost beyond words good. We put in a ton of spices and unknown to me until after we ate it, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. ah, it was heaven. I had to make some more today, same ingredients, but with some crushed walnuts.

The result?….Well, take a ring shot first!

Here’s a close up of the fish.

Here’s a close up of the finish product. I am seriously still full and I ate it 20 minutes ago. Mmmmmm.

Day 866 – Happy Thanksgiving or Go Ravens!

After the turkey was carved and the mashed potatoes mixed with gravy, I changed my clothes.

Ok, not completely, I just added an item, a Raven’s jersey. Granted, it was Heap, who is not with the team anymore, which my siblings gave me a hard time about, but I still wore it proud. Heap was a great player.

Why did I put on a Raven’s jersey on Thanksgiving? Because my wonderful father gave all his kids (including Bret) tickets to the Thanksgiving day game!

I snagged this shot of my rings with the shirt before we left.

I doubt I’ll spend every major holiday doing something so awesome, but hey, a girl can dream.

Day 857 – Great New Recipe

Tonight I made a new recipe…from the back of the jar of gravy. It looked pretty good, so I tried it out. I didn’t follow it completely. I’m not too good at the “1/2 cup of this,” “1 tsp of that.” I’m a pour and judge and taste and go from there. But basically, it’s chicken, rice, veggies, gravy and cheese. Then a little more cheese on top before you bake it. It’s baking now and I CAN’T wait to eat it! We both took a bite before I did….because I had heated everything up already….(casseroles are weird)…and boy it was tasty.

Now, for some reason, I decided to double it….why, I’m not sure…..there was no way it was going to fit in the pan it was supposed to….so I mixed everything up in a big bowl and split it between two dishes. This is what I ended up with.

Now for the sake of scale, here’s a cup to help you see….it’s a smaller cup, but still!!
