Anniversary excitement

Filed under: — Aprille @ 11:05 am

I have washed my hands several times since chopping garlic and rosesmary for a marinade this morning, but my hands still smell like garlic. What gives? I’ve heard rubbing your hands with something made of stainless steel takes the smell off. Knowing my luck, my boss would walk into the bathroom right as I’m maniacally groping the faucets.

Denny and I are starting our anniversary celebrations tonight. We’ll be having onion/pancetta/cheddar tartlets (because they go perfectly with champagne), along with a walnut, Granny Smith apple, and bleu cheese salad, and a couple of nice New York Strips that are currently sitting in the aforementioned marinade. I also picked up some fresh string beans and zucchini. If we’re really, really lucky, there might be a couple of red little tomatoes in the garden, too.

It sucks that I have to be gone on our actual anniversary, but I just thought of something that makes me feel better. Since a year is actually 365.25 days, and this isn’t a leap year, I’m going to take that quarter day back this weekend and say our anniversary starts at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

I’m not sure my math holds up, but I’m going to hope for the best.

We’re going out to dinner Saturday, and I assumed we’d open our presents Saturday night too, but I don’t know if DC can wait that long. He was wiggling like a puppy when he saw a big package on our doorstep the other night, and I think it’s about killing him not to be able to open it.
