Dinner Tonight
2:51 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Tonight we are having Fresh Atlantic Salmon, Pan seared scallops with red peppers and zucchini! I'm so excited for dinner! Ha. I'm thrilled about cooking now that I have some amazing pots and pans to cook in! My mother-in-law also bought me a grill pan which will be great for the salmon tonight. Mark loves salmon, I myself am not such a fan but I do like scallops!
Also on the menu for this week, Tuesday: stuffed banana peppers with fresh snapped green beans, Wednesday: crispy chicken salad with red peppers and avocado (dang, just hit me I forgot to buy black olives) for me and chicken wings and fries for Mark (he's not a salad fan), Thursday: oven fried chicken with fresh steamed broccoli, Friday: We always have pizza. We got that tradition from Marks parents. Saturday I will make hamburger helper with ground turkey.
Can you tell that I'm super excited for the week and food? Ha. I'm such a fattie! At least it's all pretty healthy. It's just a lot more fun cooking when I have the right tools to do it.
I had the most strange thing happen to me at the grocery store today. I was waiting in line and a guy walked up behind me with two gift cards to buy. I, with a whole basket full of things, asked him if he would like to go in front of me in line since it was silly for him to have to wait behind me. He looked at me like he was shocked and said that was very very nice of me to do. I do it a lot if I'm at the grocery store or Wal*Mart. It's just a polite thing to do. The cashier joked that the guy should buy me dinner with one of the gift cards that he bought. I laughed and the guy said, actually, I'm going to buy her groceries. I of course told him that it was not necessary because I was just doing the polite thing. He said that he had never had anyone do that for him before.
That just blows my mind because I do it all the time for people and I've had it done for me several times. I told them that I was from Texas and maybe it's just something we do. The cashier also said she had never seen it done before. The cashier and man were so shocked by what I had done. He just kept thanking me and talking about what a kind person I was. Like I kept telling them, it's just a polite thing to do .
When it was my turn to check out, the cashier and I were just making small talk and I told her that I do those kind of things because it's a pay it forward thing. For all I know, that guy could be having a really bad day, he might not be able to go home for Christmas, he might have been laid off this year, you just never know what people are going through. I sure hope that guy and the cashier have a great holiday season.
My cough is defiantly much better today. My chest feels very heavy with mucus though. We shall see what happens.
My list of things to do this week is to finish Christmas shopping! The only person that Mark and I have done is his mom and that's because she bought her own gift. Ha. To our defense, it was a Brighton bracelet and she knew the one she wanted. It was just easier that way! I have bought a Tech hat for my brother and that's all we have done.
Here's our problem. Mark and I, for ourselves, have bought a 42" Sony TV, A Nintendo Wii, Guitar Hero World Tour, an extra Guitar, and I have bought Zelda for Wii for Mark. We have spent a ton of money on ourselves!
My Mom and Dad have given me no direction for what they want. Ugh. It's very aggravating. Marks dad wants Cd's and I have to find a Boston Celtics shirt. We have bought a cabbage patch doll for Madison. I hate to think that we are going to have to go to the mall on Saturday but I think we don't have any way around it. Mark will be more than thrilled with this.
I'm not sure what we are going to get for everyone since it's going to be very difficult for us to bring things back. I guess I might have to do some shopping on Christmas Eve. No shocker there though, my Dad and I have a tradition of doing it every year. What a great tradition right?
On the baby making front, we are ready! I got a lot of great cute gender neutral things when I was shopping with Lindsey. She was making fun though of the snow suits that they have for babies since ours will need one. Mark said that just wait till she comes up here, she'll appreciate it! Mark and I had a long great talk about the baby in the car on the trip to Texas and we are more than sure that we are ready. Come on January!
Have a great day!
