Things I Love Thursday

**This is the post that was meant to publish.

Sarai, I totally nabbed this idea from your blog... hope you don't mind. After all, imitation is the highest form of fattery... flattery... :)

I had to nab it, though, so I can share about my Iron Chef.
My man in shining apron.

Either way, I love him and his latest creation... the Adirondacker.

While at the grocery the other night he pulled a when we were first married on me. Those were the days of consistent Friday night dates. Many times we would find a crazy recipe and hit up the store in search of some hard to pronounce cheeses or spices (often by hitting up the sweetest and most knowledgeable looking person in the aisle!) By about nine or ten o'clock we'd sit down to bliss-- bliss or blah, that is. As you can imagine, that part never really mattered too much; it was the fun in just trying something new and being together.

So the other night, he called and told me to pick up all sorts of fun stuff. Horseradish, parsley, a little fresh dill. Who am I to argue with a handsome guy who defends religious freedom AND knows how to work an apron?

I got home, and he made me dinner. Well, me and two other pretty girls-- that would be our new version of date night. (And feel free to nab the pant hanger idea for yourself. Keeps the recipe at eye level and frees up counter space. Ingenious, I tell you!)

The result? Bliss! I couldn't find the exact recipe online (though you can kinda blurry-like make it out if you click on the above picture), but go here if you'd like to give another of Rachael Ray's burgers a try; come to think of it, they have Super Bowl written all over them!
