Just Stuff

Last Sunday Rob was all miffed at me. He had all the signs - huffy, haughty and barely tolerating my presence. When I asked him if I had done something he said, "Don't worry about it." When I asked if something was wrong he said, "Don't worry about it." My brain screamed LET IT GO! LET IT GO! But, being a woman, I could not. So I hounded him. And finally he caved under the pressure of my superior abilities and said, "There's nothing you can do about it, so don't worry about it. I'll be fine." Ho ho ho! He'll be 'fine'? Uh, hello? I'm a woman - I know about 'Fine'. Don't throw 'Fine' at me, for cryin' out loud. I told him exactly that, laughingly. "You can't use fine with me! I'm a woman! We INVENTED Fine. Fine means, 'You're a putz and I just don't want to talk to you right now.' Fine means 'You did something completely insensitive and I need to hold it against you for awhile before I get over it.' Fine means 'Just leave me alone or I will start yelling at you and not be able to pinpoint the exact reason.' Don't throw FINE at me, mister!"

Ha! Pull out a FINE on me again, he will not.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

This recipe is Deeeee-licious. A little girl I watch refuses to eat pretty much anything - not only did she have seconds of this, but she asked for thirds! (I made her eat her vegetables instead.)

Honey Curry Chicken

* 6 chicken thighs or boneless breasts or 12 tenderloins (I use frozen tenderloins)
* 1/4 c. melted butter
* 1/2 c honey
* 1/4 c mustard
* 1tsp. salt
* 1/2tsp curry powder

Directions

1. Mix all but chicken together. Dip chicken in sauce
2. Place in casserole dish skin side up. Bake at 375 for 1 hour,basting every 15 mins.
3. Can double sauce.can let marinate in the sauce 4-6 hours if you want.

Hey? I'm on Facebook (duh) so if any of you want to be 'friends' let me know and I'll look ya up!

Have you seen Summer's bad-ass Tattoo?!?! I'm completely jealous that she had the cajones to get it done. She's my super-hero.

I'm off to finish my morning chores before work. Hope everyone was a Spectacular Hump Day.

Men just can't pull off a "fine" the way a woman can!

Chicken sounds yummy. I am going to add that to my list of blog recipes to try!

I will use it again Missy! Sometimes fine is safer than honesty.

Susie said...

My husband says, "Don't say fine to me...I know what "fine" means":-) It was like he had cracked a code or something.
