I’ve been slaving away every night cooking PT meals, so Tuesday night I put my foot down and told him he is making me dinner or else I was walking.

For some reason he took me at my word and came home with bags of groceries! Delicious groceries. Perfect, amazing groceries.

For some reason PT’s first instinct when I am about to take a picture is to give himself a beard or mustache. Today’s mustache is made of fennel fronds!

His menu? Herb and sesame scallops with fennel and orange salad with a side of roasted brussel sprouts. Holla!

It was amazing! The scallops were cooked perfectly, the brussel sprouts roasted while we made everything else. The fennel salad was great, and I’ve never even had fennel before.

So sure, I make Roasted Potatoes, Veggies, and Beans, and Homemade Tuna Helper, and he makes fancy scallops and fennel salad. He is always outdoing me! It would be annoying if I wasn’t reaping all the benefits.

That isn’t what my grandpa thought, though! I told him about the meal PT made me for dinner and, you guessed it,  he laughed, ‘Well, I’d leave that table hungry.’

What? Scallops and fennel aren’t for everyone?!

I also have to leave you with a couple Pudge Rodriguez pictures.

Pudge loves hanging out under the tree. She also loves to eat the tree, and pull the ornaments off the tree and eat them.

Guess what is in that blue box!

Pudge wanted to come with me to knitting class! She was in one of my many bags I use to teach…

Ok enough about Pudge. She is just so cute it is hard not to take pictures of her!
