Lessons in Optimism

Cleaning out files today… stumbled across this blog post I wrote on my anniversary – 8/7/2012. RIP David. You were the best husband a woman could ask for. The humor never ended. Miss you every day, my love. 💕

Today is our 28th wedding anniversary. We exchanged the usual hallmark cards and went about our daily tasks. On the drive home from work, I telephone hubby, who reports with great exuberance that he’s prepared surf and turf for our anniversary dinner.

I truly want to be optimistic, but this is the same man who prepared my lunch one day, and at noon, I uncovered a Ziploc baggie filled with chili!

Oh, the possibilities…

I arrived home to a serving of what must be the Welsh version of surf and turf — a slab of Tilapia …. with a handful of meatballs!

To me, surf and turf is a traditional steak with lobster duo. But for others, well, I guess it can be whatever you want to make it – in this case, fish with meatballs.

In his mind, the equation was simple: fish plus meat equals surf and turf. For a physicist, the logic was sound.

In my house, every day is a culinary journey — Bon appetit!
