Guess what Daddy did for dinner??

Hubby has issued a challenge in our household. He has declared that on his days off, he will be cooking dinners. My job will be to out-do whatever he cooks on my next turn. This is an effort to convince me to not go out to eat so much. So, tonight was the first night. He had plans to go to the grocery store and buy some special ingredients.

When I heard that, I complained whined said, "Whoa, if I have to use whatever we have in the pantry, shouldn't you? Even if it's slim pickin's?"

Daddy aquiesced, and he confidently began to peruse the cabinets. The kids and I were banned from the kitchen as the preparations began. (Do you know how hard it is to stay out of the kitchen in a 4 room house?) It wasn't long before both smoke detectors went off. But we yanked them off the wall, opened a window, and he continued on bravely.

Pretty soon, he was calling us into the kitchen to see the results! I have to say, I was very very impressed! I think Daddy might be doing more cooking around here. Drumroll, please... Here are the results! He made a yummy dinner of veggies, mashed potatoes, and chicken. Oh, and biscuits. All of which was on hand and obviously invisible when I checked the freezer.

Thank you very much.

(And yes, he used my china and chargers.)
