Just Spaghetti?
July 4, 2009|
Last night we had the d'Arc family over for dinner while they were in town, which was a lot of fun. I made homemade spaghetti and meatballs for our dinner. In bed at the end of the evening, I asked my husband if he'd enjoyed his dinner. "Yeah, sure, it was fine," he noncommittally said. Only fine? That didn't seem like the praise I was fishing for. "Well," he continued in a bored and sleepy voice, "I mean it was just spaghetti and meatballs."
To which I huffily and half-jokingly replied...
I rolled three kinds of raw meat mixture and made homemade tomato sauce for hours yesterday. Not to mention the salad and the from-scratch cookies. How about this: how about you spend the next nine months eating DFAC food and MREs, and then we'll see how you feel about my "just spaghetti and meatballs."
I hope he gets all Beef Franks MREs all deployment long...

No, no, no....poetic justice demands nothing but spaghetti and meatball MRE's for the next nine months.

Sly -- We actually had the following conversation:
Me: What's the worst MRE?
Husband: Mmmm, beef franks...why?
Me: I'm diming you out on SpouseBUZZ.
Husband: Naturally.

I hate it when I need a compliment and he (my hubbie) can't read the signs. Try not to fish and be patient for the surprise. Good Luck!

LOL... yeah, my favorite "compliment" is "That was pretty good", complete with the shoulder shrug.
That and when I made carrot cake completely from scratch, only to be told it was "ok, but not Aunt Dale's". I'm never making him carrot cake again... even if he begs.
