Do you know how much work it is to be a wife?
A lot.
Since Miz t.'s been laid up I'm learning about all the little things I kind of took for granted. Although I was/am very appreciative.
Really.

I now know how to operate the dishwasher and washer & dryer.
Fixing dinner every night is a major pain.
I mean EVERY night.
We need to eat out more.

If you have a favorite casserole you'd like to fax over that would be great.
Thanx.
;-)

1. That's why some cultures have two or three wives

2. Isn't it getting a little Warm down in AL for hot things like casseroles?
Wouldn't you like some salad recipes instead?

:)

5. You asked for it.
Now that you've got me thinkin' about it...I want some of this:

Shrimp and Cucumber Salad

3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons prepared mustard (Dijon would be good in this)
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp. dried dillweed)

2 large cucumbers
1 pound cooked medium shrimp

Salt and Pepper

Bibb lettuce leaves

Wash and dry lettuce leaves; set aside.

In a small bowl, stir white vinegar into sugar until the sugar dissolves. Whisk or stir in mustard, then mayonnaise. Add the fresh dill (or dried dillweed) and stir to blend.

Peel the cucumbers, cut in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Chop the cucumbers into 1/2-inch cubes.

Combine the cucumbers and cooked shrimp in a large bowl; add the dressing and toss to cover. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on Bibb lettuce leaves.

6. Oh. And to answer your original question: Yes. I do.
Been there done that twice. Now I'm flyin' solo.

7. Yup....
But I have to say, I wouldn't stand for a husband who didn't help with dishes, laundry, cooking, etc. But that's what works for us, and whatever works for you guys, that's great :) But nice that you have that extra appreciation now!
