Welp, we have a new ongoing dilemma in the How to Get Married the Wrong Way saga of our lives. 

I don’t know what to do about my name. 

To clarify, this isn’t a REAL dilemma, like “do we pull the plug on our 16 year old comatose daughter” or anything like that.  I’m marrying the best guy ever, we’re super happy, and employed, and healthy so….not a real dilemma. 

The non-dilemma IS ongoing, though.

Guys.

I got me an engagement ring.  I told you that we were having such a ridiculous time figuring out what to order, who could do the work, if we could afford it, etc….it was quite a process!

It’s got my grandmother’s pretty aquamarine stone in it, and I’m fully obsessed with how lovely it is.

You know how you hear pregnant women whining about how strangers touch their bellies without asking and they feel violated because it’s their belly, their fetus, and one really shouldn’t go around touching another human’s midsection without a clear invitation?

I feel that way about my left hand.

OMG.

Why can’t Valentine’s day be floating?  Like…always the second Saturday of February?  Thursday is a super bummer day for a holiday.  It’s SO CLOSE to the weekend.  But….not quite.

Even so, you might want to make something super delicious yet fast and affordable for the people you love tonight, right?

Enter…..pasta.

It’s just so easy.  And delicious.  And everyone likes it.

Unless they’re dumb, and then you don’t need to be hanging out with them.

Anyway.

Plate surrounded with veggiesIt’s 6 days until Valentine’s Day!

I made you dinner.

It’s cute, easy, delicious, and you’ll love it.

Promise!

My valentine did, at least.  We went ahead and celebrated a few days ago so you could have a great idea for what to cook next weekend!

You’re welcome for that.

Also, I think we’ll be busy next Thursday, but we really did this for you.

Here’s what we’re working with:  Game hens, rubbed with butter and roasted over fennel, potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, and white wine.  With rosemary and orange zest.  Then we get even sexier with orange/butter sauce made with the drippings.  Fresh parsley and aged parm add even more flavor, and then you die of happiness.

I KNOW.

It was super easy, too!  You’ve really gotta try it.

You know what next week is?

It’s a day where we buy things for people we love, and single people pretend like having a significant other is the only way to feel love, which makes me feel sad, but I kind of get it because of all the commercials, and people eat food together.

That’s what your Valentine’s day looks like, right?

Mine actually started last night.  I cooked something yummy for you!  I’m gonna show it to you soon so you can plan to make it for your sweetie, or your mom, or your dog, or your friends.  Love can come from lots of places, people!

I think cooking on Valentine’s day is so fun.  First, you save money and irritation and time by avoiding restaurants.  Plus, it’s a nice gesture for people you love.  Plus, you can drink and not drive.

Everyone wins!

Remember a few weeks ago when I made these sweet-ass Spinach-Artichoke Toasts and I told you I was pretty sure the topping could be used in a number of ways?

Well, as Jay will tell you is normal, I was right.

He would never tell you that.

What I mean to say is, you can stuff mushrooms with the same filling!

It’s super duper delicious.

The Hassle of Moving – According to Jay

I am now officially a homeowner and it’s a little scary. I am 31 and have rented my entire life. If I nailed something in the wall, scratched a door jam, or scuffed up the floor I always told myself, “Screw it, you don’t own it.” I now own it and it is starting to give me small anxiety attacks.

I am now hyperaware of dog’s claws scratching MY hardwood floor, hot water heater issues, wall damage, and of course a backyard that needs to be trimmed as badly as a 1970’s porn actress.

It’s all a bit much to take in over one weekend. I haven’t had a full on anxiety attack yet, but I have asked Lindsay to just hold me several times.
