15 years!

He gets up early to head to the store and there purchases the sweetest thing a man can offer his pregnant wife of 15 years...

a jicama.

And I couldn't be more thrilled!

Last night, I was craving some Jicama Chicken. We were bemoaning our decision to pick up some quick and yucky Chinese food over the weekend, the kind that sounds like a good idea at the time but turns out to be too salty, too heavy, etc and it left us wondering why we don't think to make something like Jicama Chicken instead when those stir fry temptations come our way. It's always delicious and pretty easy to prepare (I use a modified version of that recipe). OK, practically speaking it's probably because jicamas are not always in season and are usually found in Mexican food, not Asian. But still! 

So tonight, we will celebrate our anniversary with a delicious homemade meal and a fabulous dessert made from the leftovers of the back-to-back birthday extravaganza. My sweet children have already offered to go to bed early so that we can watch a movie alone. I love them! (Movie suggestions welcome.)

{And because this baby can't seem to get enough fresh fruit, he also brought me cantaloupe! Who needs to be wined and dined? This man knows what his woman wants.}
