Wife Material

Hey Ladies!!!

Right now I am being the very essence of wife material... I'm sitting in my apron waiting for my next batch of Ghirardelli dark chocolate chip cookies to finish baking in the oven , now you tell me that's not wife material! :) I love cooking and baking and Dan seems to enjoy it too! we had his dad and wife over on Sunday and I made lasagna! homemade with beef, Italian sausage, 5 cheeses and hang on the oven just beeped! Okay I'm back! Anyway Dan and his dad seemed to enjoy it and I made dessert which was not pumpkin pie (that's this weekend) but I made a nice light jello salad to compliment the heavy meal :)
Today is wonderful, I'm just enjoying some me time which includes sipping hot coffee baking and listening to Christmas music (as much as Dan is opposed to Christmas music in November) I feel I am entitled to at least 2 months of Christmas music! I mean seriously if Target can display all the glittering lights and tinsel certainly I can have my Christmas music! I did pick up the new Josh Groban Christmas CD which is awesome! :)
On another note Dan and I went to a jeweler to have a quote drawn up my ring (YAY!) it was supposed to ready today as promised by the woman with blue hair behind the counter (it really was blue) but such is not the case either way I am ecstatic that he's REALLY pursuing my ring! :) YAY!!!!! I just need to be patient! which sometimes is easier said than done... much easier said. On the upside I will be married sooner than later (I hope) so I should keep
practicing my baking and cooking skills which is what I am doing! :) I also made chicken and dumplings last Thursday (Dan wasn't a fan of the carrots... note to self) I've also made 4 pumpkin pies already and 2 more on the way for Sunday but instead of evaporated milk I use sugar free french vanilla ice cream :) it's really good! Anyway back to baking ladies! here is my ring! the real deal :) just looking at it makes me all giddy with happy thoughts!
