The other week Dylan and I tried to come up with new ways to organize our life so that when the baby comes we are ready! We like to be spontaneous and aren't always "into" planning but our new life as parents will probably not allow us to be spontaneous like we are used to :) So we have started meal planning!
Dylan thought it would be helpful to me if he took over one night a week of cooking, so thus the Wednesday Night tradition has begun! Let me just tell you I was expecting hamburgers every other week with maybe pasta and sauce or sandwiches on the off weeks. To my surprise Dylan comes home this evening after 1.5 hours in the grocery store (mind you I went to do a big grocery trip yesterday!) at about 8 PM and does this.....
I hope you notice the LONG recipe and all the ingredients strewn about the kitchen! Dylan would not let me do ANYTHING and didn't appreciate any "tips" I offered--oops I need to learn patience and tact! I definitely want to encourage any Dylan cooking adventures because as I learned in Spain from his Goat Cheese Chicken Creation (a good post all in itself) he is quite the natural chef and makes delicious dishes even if they sound/look REALLY weird.
Perhaps my favorite part of the evening is seeing Dylan cut open the plastic wrap on the chicken with my Wusthof Santoku knife and "stirring" the enchilada ingredients with metal tongs!
If any of you girls reading this are not in a relationship I highly recommend finding a guy who is willing and interested in trying new things. It makes for an AWESOME husband. Not only does he try cooking new things but he is always appreciative of my cooking efforts.
I can't wait to taste his first Wednesday Night Creation!
Bon Appetite!
