So even though you can tell from my last post that Peter definitely wears the pants in this family, here is a little story for you that #1- confirms that point, and #2-totally redeems himself for wearing the pants.
Long ago, in a far away condo was a newly wed couple, deciding what new and exciting gifts they recently received on their happy wedded day of bliss they should keep, and what should be returned. We came to the shining new box of pots and pans. humm,.. to keep or not to keep??
And the poor newly wed couple then had their very first argument. Things were worked out and compromise was made. The no longer fair "maiden", wanted to return the $50 set, and spend some of the wedding money on a nicer set,.. and the young lad disagreed. So, the cheep set stayed, and so did the, no longer a fair "maiden".
So,.. although it was not my idea to keep the pots and pans,.. we did. And there have been many times that I served Bailey-bum Teflon flecked Mac & Cheese and thought back to that moment, wishing I had stood my ground.
But really,.. those pots and pans have been through a lot of yummy meals with our cute little family. And have more recently made it through BIG family gathering meals.
So,.. Every once in a blue moon I like to make an Egg Roll FEAST! And when I mean Feast, I'm not kidding. When I start, I set out to make at least 100 Egg Rolls. That's a lot! But they freeze AMAZINGLY well,.. so why not right!?
(thanks Mo!)
Anyway,.. I needed Peter's help for a second,.. so he helped scrape the pan out into a bowl for me, and while doing so,.. the pan handle completely broke off. I just laughed because,.. well,.. it wasn't the first time that pan handle fell off. So we picked up the mess, and I went back to cooking a feast.
The next night I ran an errand and walked into my CLEAN house, and my CLEAN kitchen, to find

Next romantic gift I could use,.. a New Iron!
I'm serious.
I Love him.

Wonderful! So thoughtful!
Hahah that's great. :) Yeah I'm glad we traded in our teflon pans when we got married. I LOVE our cuisinart stainless steel set. :)
At least he can admit when he's made a mistake (or at least when the time is right for new pots and pans!)
Cute husband. ;)
Hmm. Well dangit. I'm jealous. I need new pans! What a thoughtful guy! AND he cleaned the kitchen!

WOW! You should totally keep him!!! P.s I LOVE your cute family picture at the top of your blog... adorable!
Oh how I have made the journey of your pots and pans with you.... I remember the days of you and Pete deciding on pots and pans.... I think it is so funny how he (a guy) stood his ground in the first place over pots and pans... I never understood that..... But now all I know is....
He really is 100% flawless.
