The Christmas Gift

Hi!

Some of you may be aware of this news, but please read on! One of my Christmas gifts from Brian was a Crock-Pot. As you may imagine, this gift was not an instant favorite! A gift related to cooking? For me? Surely, he must be kidding. I am not a very good cook. I can make Kraft Mac & Cheese really well, but that's about it.
However, Brian was quick to point out that several months prior to Christmas, I did mention that I would like to own a slow-cooker. I do recall that conversation, but I was still surprised when I unwrapped the box. To my surprise, I am actually enjoying this gift very much and have made several yummy meals!
In fact, Brian thinks that I have cooked more in 2010 than I have in the six years that we have been married! Sad, but true... By the way, he was aware of my inability to cook prior to our engagement!
I've made red beans and rice, pulled pork sandwiches and a broccoli/chicken meal. Its been nice to enjoy some of these dishes and the boys even enjoyed a few of them.
I should also mention that I did receive other (more fun) gifts from my husband for Christmas besides the Crock-Pot, including a nice new perfume. So, now I smell good and I can cook dinner! He's a smart guy! :)
