we both had today off, and had originally decided that we'd be lazy today and watch dr. who all day long. we haven't watched a single episode. but i did successfully make one of the worst loaves of bread, ever--i'll talk about that later.
my pants today: grumpy pants. yet again, his patience never ceases to amaze me. the stress leading up to the wedding has been incredible, i hope that's what it is, because it's what i've been blaming my huge supply of grumpy, fussy, and cranky pants on...guess we'll know on jan. 20 :)
also.....i've come to realize that the honeymoon actually has NOTHING to do with sex, and everything to do with recovering from one of the busiest, most stressful spans of time you go through. "whoa, you sound like a bridezilla" you may say. ill nay nay. the wedding is actually low key, but somehow it's still stressful; perhaps this is why people hire wedding planners.
once i changed out of my grumpy pants today (into a way more becoming pair of adorable pants), i decided to cook for him-some made up recipes. i had a 50% success rate on this idea. the success: chicken enchilada crock pot soup thing. see, it began as we were going to make chicken tacos, and i just wanted to make the chicken super tender by cooking it in the crock pot. but then, we went to the store, and i saw all kinds of yummy stuff, so i changed my mind, he nodded and said, "yes, dear". it turned out well, see:
then, i had this brilliant idea! i'll make greek yogurt bread! i've never really made bread before (because a roll of pillsbury crescent rolls and biscuits doesn't count), but i thought, eh, it can't be that hard! i used some flour, some honey greek yogurt and a dash of salt (because almost every recipe calls for a dash of salt...). well, it'll make a great paperweight:
it was so bad, i couldn't even fret. not at all like the time i tried to make a birthday cake for Jesus at christmas and went to frost it, only to have the top of the cake move around with the spread frosting (which is NOT supposed to happen--Jesus would not want an imperfect birthday cake). i cried real tears, and my (soon to be) husband, who is normally the most patient person with me in the world, didn't even know how to respond to this crying fit. looking back, it was all quiet silly.
want to try my made up chicken enchilada crock pot soup recipe? here it is:
about a pound of frozen chicken breast
a packet of taco seasoning
one cup water
--put all this in the crock pot
when the chicken is cooked, you add:
a small bag of frozen corn niblets
a can of drained and rinsed black beans
a can of fire roasted tomatoes that was cooked with a packet of enchilada sauce mix and one cup water
--continue to crock for another hour. enjoy!
i like it with guacamole too (well, i think anything goes with guacamole)--i added a scoop to my bowl, but the (soon to be) husband just ate his guacamole with chips.
when the (soon to be) husband loves me on days when i have on my fussy pants, it reminds me much more of Christ's great love for us:
Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
