When I look out the window in the morning and it is cold and wet, sort of like this...
I have been known to say something like this to Chris.
Me: Hey it's been a long time since we had some of your chicken pot pie.
Chris: hmmm (as he reads the paper)
Me: You make the BEST chicken pot pie.
Chris: hmmm (he's still reading the paper)
Me: I guess I could make some chicken pot pie.
Chris: (looking up from the paper at last) No, I'll think of something.
Me: Are you sure? I don't mind making dinner tonight.
Chris: No, I've been wanting to try this new recipe.
Me: Well, if you're sure...
Chicken and noodles with homemade biscuits. The perfect meal for a cold and rainy day. It's really all a matter of just getting his mind focused in the right direction.
Can I come over for dinner? Looks delicious! (Aren't you the lucky one! A cooking hubby!)

A very worthwhile tactic we should all practice! :)

Ha! That focus worked out well! We had tortellini soup at our house. :)

Now I know what biscuits look like (not like British biscuits, that's for sure).
What a jewel of a husband!
