It seems like everyone had an easier time than I expected on yesterday's bragging assignment! Facebook really is a lifesaver sometimes. :)
I loved reading your sweet comments about your husbands! Most of you went the sentimental route...I chose to hit the surface level and give my shout out to my guys athletic ability...something I know he appreciates (especially as the years march on.)
Today we turn our attention to our hubby's stomach...particularly what he likes to put in it! :)
Project #4
Heart vs. Stomach
A Treat Just for Him
“You can tell a lot
about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jellybeans.”
Ronald Reagan
Your Project:
Get a food treat for your husband that he’s not required to
share with you or any other family member.
Stumped for ideas? Here are some thoughts:
Get his favorite pint of Ben & Jerry’s and hide it
behind the frozen chicken. Even if you buy it on Tuesday, you’ll have it ready
and waiting for his special night later in the week.
Is there a certain cut of meat that your husband loves? How
about having the butcher cut something just for him? Most supermarkets will
even do the marinade for you – one less thing to think about.
Is there a certain candy that your husband loves from his
childhood? Check out www.candywarehouse.com. They have all the nostalgic candy
you could want (Black Jack Gum, anyone?) while also carrying any modern
favorite you could be looking for.
My husband’s family loves something called “noodles and
mashed potatoes” (we lovingly refer to it as “The Starch Fest”). I learned how
to make this special dish just for him.
My guy loves the smell of baking almost as much as he enjoys
eating the treat. Have some brownies in the oven when he gets home from work or
working out. (I know, it negates the workout, but isn’t chocolate always worth
it?)
Our friend Scott mentioned that he loves cranberry sauce,
but eats it only at Thanksgiving. His wife intentionally made the holiday treat
for him this past July.
Are you a wife who is an expert at low-cal salads and other forms of chick-food? Check out The Ultimate Guide to Man Food at www.kathilipp.com for ideas.
Share with me: Did your husband hear about your brag yesterday? What was his reaction? What is your guys favorite treat or thing to eat? What will you be picking up (or cooking) for him today?
*As a side note: I am having such a good time with all of you! I love being built up and encouraged in this way and all your comments and participation helps spur me on to be a better wife. So THANK YOU! for doing all this homework with me!! :)

First, my husband was aware of the brag. He just gave his little smile, but then he came around the desk to give me a kiss. :D
ReplyDeleteI buy my husband turtles or Twix candy bars that he doesn't have to share. Oh, and Charleston chews.
I asked my husband if he saw the brag and he said yes, it was very sweet, and he wasn't sure what he did to deserve it, but thanks. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking over what to get him. He likes these peanut butter rice krispy cookies that are really easy to make. Maybe I'll make those.
