Home Sweet Simple Home

A surprise change in menu plans

Let’s see- On Tuesday my dear sweet sister-in-law (Mr. Steady’s sis) took all THREE of my kidlets for an overnighter with her brood.
That left Mr. Steady and I ALONE.
Yahoo.
Date Night.
With that news, I quickly scrapped the original dinner menu and pulled a couple of steaks and a bag of frozen shrimp out of the freezer.
The steak was thawed and marinated.
I baked a loaf of bread.
I put together a salad with garden fresh greens.
I scrubbed up a couple of big potatoes for baking.
I sliced up some store-sale strawberries for the crockpot chocolate surprise cake I was baking.
I went to the movie rental place and picked up a movie Mr. Steady had really been wanting to watch for awhile (paid out of date nite envelope- $3.50).
Mr. Steady grilled the steak and shrimp (he made BBQ grilled shrimp- delish!) while I baked the potatoes and wrapped my hospitality offering.
Of course, we had a most wonderful relaxing and enjoyable evening.
A much needed relaxing and enjoyable evening
Just. The. Two. Of. Us.
God is so good.
