Flowers

I have the best boyfriend ever. Seriously. He buys me things that I really want all the time. (edit: insert sarcasm here.)

Except these things come with strings attached. That's right! There's no such thing as a free gift!

Ha-ha. I get so excited. Most of these gifts involve cooking, and I love to cook for him. I made one of my tired old dishes last night and it turned out sooo good. It was just chicken & rice & veggies, but the chicken (tossed in Parmesan, rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, and a hint of lime) turned out so juicy and so tender! Yum. Quite possibly the best chicken I had ever made.

He's getting me a subscription to Rachel Ray, provided that I cook him meals out of the magazine, and also he bought me two new cook books (Curries & Tapas) with the same provision. Okay, so making curry is a little intimidating, but I'll at least try. I told him to have very low expectations and he said that that wouldn't be a problem.

My latest gift? Flower pots! Yay! We were at K-Mart the other day and flower pots were 20% off and he said he'd buy me some if I planted flowers in them. Yes! So, a few days later, on Sunday, we went to Lowe's and we bought some flowers. A pink calla lily, a Shasta daisy (though ours looks a bit yellow...) and a red dahlia. I love the dahlia, I think it's my new favorite flower. I'm pretty enamored with gerbera daisies. Last spring, I was at Lowe's and there were gerbera daisies everywhere! Oh well. I've never planted my own flowers before and I'm excited to see how our flowers turn out.
