Greasy Spoon

Standard

Yesterday was one of those days. Extremely busy in the office and we had a scheduled team building outing. We went bowling *crickets*. FYI, I am the worst bowler EVER.

So I called Mr. 1969 and told him that he needed to get dinner together. He assured me that he would take care of it. I asked him if he wanted me to bring home some snacks for him to watch the World Series…..nope.

So I walk in the house around 7:30pm. I smell food.

Now let me preface this next paragraph by saying that my husband DOES NOT cook. Well, he’s married to a woman that adores her kitchen, so he doesn’t really have to cook. Just like I never shovel snow or mow the lawn. We just have our things that we take care of. Cooking is mine.

So I smelled food and proceeded to walk into the kitchen.

I should have taken a picture. He was frying chicken wings. There was grease EVERYWHERE. There was flour EVERYWHERE. It looked like an explosion in the Kuwait desert. In a seperate bowl was a ton of some type of buffalo wing sauce. He was dunking his greasy wings in them and piling them high on a plate.

“Wow honey! You are doing it up in here huh?”

I slowly walked upstairs, took a shower, and came back down in my sweats and sat on the couch.

I didn’t return to the kichen for the rest of the night. Being married means knowing when to shut the hell up.

And hey, I tried one and his wings weren’t half bad. LOL

Congrats to the Phillies on winning Game 1.

    I know you wanted to faint when you saw your kitchen.
    Big ups for taking it with a smile :-)

    You know those wings were finger lickin good. LOL :-)

  3. Maaaan you’re good my lady woould have Cussed me until she went into labor! I do most of the cooking in my house. I’m glad u and your hubby have an agreement about who does what cause Shawnla still trying to get me to clean that bathroom…NEVER I SAY.. NEVER!!!!

  4. I’m sure my mom had some of those moments when my dad and I got in the kitchen on nights when she worked late. We thought we were doing it way big, but mostly we were just making a mess, lol.

  5. Mr. 1969 deserves a gold star!
    I can count on one hand the number of times my dad cooked. One time he forgot to SEASON some fried fish…gross…he was pretty good at breakfast food, though. If he was responsible for dinner, we knew it was going to be a Mickey’Ds night

  6. If you would’ve made the slightest bad comment, he wouldn’t have ventured into the kitchen for a long time. I don’t blame you for keeping quiet. I bet those wings were good though, grease and all.

  7. Sounds like he may have been waiting for the opportunity to try his hot wing recipe! I have to learn from you guys because I would have had a fit seeing my kitchen like that!

  8. Reminds me of the time I came home and Smoochy had “George Foreman-ed” little strips of chicken and had them piled up on a plate . . . poor thing, he was so proud! Gotta love the husbands!
