Paul's going to be a gourmet chef by the end of my bedrest

Paul lucked out yesterday. I had put a chicken in the crockpot in the morning thus saving him from having to cook dinner after the ob told me no more cooking. Tonight though...whole different story.

I took a steak out of the freezer to defrost while Paul was at work, he stopped and bought french fries, and I had gotten asparagus at the grocery the other day. Let me walk you through the steps.

Paul gets home. He lets the dogs out. I push a chair over so I can see him in the kitchen. First step is to get a pan out for the french fries. You'd think that would go well except we have an extra drawer inside our pots/pans drawer which had gotten stuck on the handle of the pans below it. So after fighting with that Paul gets the pan out. Next step is to get the oil out and put it in the pan. Paul looks at me blankly because he has no idea where the oil is. lol Oil and french fries go into the pan.

Paul gets out the asparagus and then halves it and then walks around the kitchen with a bunch of asparagus in each hand. So, I gently tell him to just put half back onto the empty bag it came in so he can wash the bunch we are going to eat. Steak and asparagus go onto the broiler pan and Paul's next step is to drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and season everything. I use olive oil that comes in a huge square can that's like $30. Paul did well though at this!

Food goes into the oven and a lively conversation about how to turn the stove and timer on ensues.

All in all Paul did a great job cooking his first dinner for us! I think at the end of 21 weeks he will be an absolute pro at it! I love my hubby!
