I really wanted to go out and get some good chocolate this afternoon, but I realized I had more important things I wanted to accomplish today – like cleaning the tornado that is my apartment and school work. So, I was responsible and cleaned and am just now hitting the books. Well, actually right now right now I’m blogging – but I will do school stuff soon 😉 or later later
I had a big snack early in the afternoon – yogurt, fruit and cereal. Yes, I added more cereal because it was necessary, kinda.
And a few hours later I had some veggie crisps. With ketchup. Love.
I had no clue as to what to make for dinner so I decided to just throw a random pasta together. I used ww pasta, chickpeas, spinach, goat cheese (because I figured all mixed up I wouldn’t realize it sucks), and jarred sauce. I actually added the cheese because I figured I would have to add a bunch of cheese because that would be the only way Ben would eat it.
I ate it, cheese and all. But, later when he came home – he said he didn’t like it. He didn’t eat it. But, I did. WTF. I added the extra calories/ crappy goat cheese for him and he ate something else. So, I just threw it all away and now I’m mad. Was your dinner as pleasant as mine?
Don’t answer that…
Can you name five presidents?
Let me try…
I win.
**Added Bonus: Who knows where my “right now right now” reference comes from???

Don’t you just hate it when people don’t appreciate the food you cook? I mean, they can be honest about not liking it. But I think they should still eat it anyway.

I guess I’m lucky … my husband will eat anything I make for him, but he will exclaim, “I’m not a *huge* fan …”, which drives me crazy, but at least he’s being honest. The other day I pureed some beans and mixed them in with the pasta – it gave the pasta an interesting texture and the husband was definitely NOT a fan of it. I loved it – I rarely eat pasta!

Boo that he didn’t like your pasta. I think it looks and sounds delish!

I know you were asking for readers to give you questions to answer, and I thought of one I know I’m late but i wanted to know how long do you plan on blogging? Do you see yourself 2 even 5 years from now still updating you readers about what you eat? Do you see a point where you will eventually stop

i do that food dance with my husband except its sweets. ill bake cookies “for him” that he wont like then ill end up pity eating them!
Carolyn says
I feel like I know the “right now” reference, but it just won’t come to me. I hate when I cook and my husband covers it in ketchup, hot sauce, or BBQ Sauce.
Karyn says
bummer about the dinner bust! oh well i guess you can’t win them all. i’m sure it was delicious
Andrea @ CanYouStayForDinner.com says
Haha, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made something a certain way because I thought my boyfriend would like it better, only to have him say he wished I hadn’t. Sometimes you just can’t win. That’s the only part that I find difficult about cooking for others, not always being in the mood for the same thing. Hope you got yourself some chocolate!!
Laura says
i have no idea where the reference comes from.
Enjoy doing your school work.

Runeatrepeat says
A frozen hamburger patty from Costco – they are microwavable so he just nuked it and ate.
Gabriela says
Wow, Monica!
I hate when it happens – you cook something specially for someone, and then that person decides not to eat it! So unfair!
At least… Well, the pasta looked great to me! Hehe 😉
Have an amazing night!

Sorry the hubby didn’t like it. My boyfriend is really picky about food and we don’t always agree on what to eat. I think I sacrifice a lot more than he does in the food department. Boys!!
Kara says
I hate when I cook something for the hubby and he doesn’t like it. I also usually add extra fatty/calorie-loaded things for him. I think the hubbies need to be less picky….. 🙂
Jess says
Love what you made for dinner! I had pasta too 🙂
