New house means I want literally all new things.
Everything I own is ugly. All of it must go & be replaced with Pinterest projects that I do not do myself because I loathe DIY & paint on my hands.
Enter the husband. Who just got power tools & is convinced he could build me an entire house if need be. I say, “I need a coffee table, TV stand, bookshelves, dining table, chairs AND GO!” He calls some friends, grabs some brews & off he goes – just widdling away.
Ladies, let your man have a day that he spends in the garage building crap. He will love you more – I am 100% sure of it. Oh & only bother him when the Domino’s arrives. That’s important.
My TV stand is pretty effing fantastic. Call us for all your furniture needs. No don’t his honey do list is 8 miles long.

New house – Congrats!! And yes, starting fresh with new stuff would be so cool…. You’re also right about leaving the hubby alone for the day to do whatever he wants (mine loves to trim the shrubs and weed!) and only calling him in when it’s time for food…he definitely loves me more because of it! And the egg rolls look delish! 🙂

Ugh! Lucky you. My husband won’t do that. If he did, I think there would be 500 screws in it 15″ long. He always relies on me to help etc. Nope…. nope. NO!
The egg rolls look great. I’ve never used quinoa before. (gasp!)

As your father I am absolutely certain you’re out of your mind. Just so you know. By the way, why is there never any meat in your creations? These egg rolls would be far better with some spicy ground beef and/or chicken. Quinoa (sp?), what the hell IS it? Does anyone even know? I know this, it aint no substitute for beef laced with Mexican spices. And aren’t egg rolls supposed to be deep fried? I mean really.
Despite the fact most of your stuff wouldn’t be my first choice (brussel sprouts, really?) the Blog is outstanding and I wish you the very best with it my child!!
