Health knowledge made personal

Anyone who lives alone with a boyfriend knows that there will be moments when... wait... I mean 'everyday" when the man's going to ask "What are we having for dinner tonight?" I don't know if every man has this issue or if only mine does. He's constantly hungry. I used to get my nails done but I really think I'm going to have to do it more often. My hands have "HAD IT". He's lucky I'm such a good girlfriend :)
Last night I made Chicken Broccoli Alfredo in a Bertolli garlic sauce. At first I was kind of "ehh" about it but it only took about 10 minutes to prep and about another 5 to keep warm while the sauce sat with the broccoli and chicken. I started off by chopping the chicken before starting the pasta. I like everything to be done at the same time. Is it just me or are you the same way? Lol. I didn't want to break this pasta, so I let the bottoms get a little soft for about 30 seconds then curled the rest in. A larger pot is on my grocery list but since getting back from Denver and celebrating my birthday last weekend there hasn't been time for anything. More on that later ;) I bought fresh broccoli. Originally I was going to keep it on the side but M was screaming for it to be included. "It's not 'chicken broccoli alfredo' then!" Lol. Wah. I've never tried Bertolli brand before. I usually just get the plain Ragu alfredo sauces but I decided to mix it up and I'm glad that I did. This one had garlic and parmesan cheese. I told myself that next time I would make my own sauce but did I have time after a day at the dentist and work then rushing to the store and home to let Maia out? Nope. Maybe next weekend we'll try this again but differently? ;) Thank God for leftovers... he won't be getting any, muhahaha *wicked laugh*. This was M's. Not mine, just so you know! I tossed some chili powder on top of his since we didn't have any red pepper flakes. This worked out well and he did lick the plate (it's one of his things...) Ahhh I love my stemless glasses. I knew I'd be in all weekend cleaning, doing laundry, reading, and doing laundry as well as creating a budget so I stocked up on Dos Aquis (Amber), Bare Foot's Cabernet and Moscato. M is in love with Moscato. I think it's the idea of being a guy and drinking yummy wine that tastes like juice.... possibly. Suzie Orman, beer, and blogging. I'm getting used to the Mac. When they asked me what I wanted at work I suggested a Mac because well I have a Dell and I wanted to try something different, and I'm glad I did! I actually love it. The only problem is the "no Windows Live Writer" part :( Any suggestions on which desktop apps are best for blogging? Oh and the whole magazine thing... The good part about a magazine is that it's like having "girl-time" without having to really listen to anyone... you can close it when you're done listening ;) I gotta go finish watching "The Proposal". I can never get enough of this movie, and Ryan Reynolds is always delish, of course! - Q |
