Team work

I think that part of what makes a marriage work is having teamwork. Part of teamwork is bringing to the table different skill sets that compliment one another. One of my skills is baking. I have started a new weekend activity of making a new dessert every weekend. This weekend I made lemon icebox cookies. I also made rice krispie treats with cranberries and mini chocolate chips. My job is to keep us chubby.

One of Chris' skills is cooking. For example, he is currently making noodles from scratch, grilling chicken outside, and going to turn it into a creamy pepper pasta dish. It will be delicious. He was out of town the other day and when we talked on the phone before bed he asked what I had for dinner. Cereal and corn dogs of course. Was I actually supposed to cook? Chris' job is to keep us alive.

Most excellent! At our house, both of our jobs is to look in the refrigerator and see what is quickest. Not necessarily tasty (as in baking) or HEALTHY. But we are still alive which is a GOOD thing.

We have never had Lemon Icebox Cookies. Do you need to bring us some to try? That would make us feel better.
