Good Loving in the Country is Still Free
My boyfriend Michael came over last night. We played tennis for about an hour and a half, before we arrived at the house in the country. I was planning on cooking an artichoke casserole with olive oil, bread crumbs, quartered artichoke hearts, and parmesan cheese. I had all that in my pantry. No need to spend any money for dinner. However, Michael stopped at the store and bought some fabulous italian sausage, bright red bell peppers, an onion,a clove of garlic, and a pack of thigh meat. Yeah, thigh meat is cheaper than breasts, but we have switched to that lately because it tastes better than white meat. (talking about food only)
The italian sausage was chopped up, vegetables were diced, and the thighs were browned in a skillet. All this was put in the oven to bake together for a short time. I already had two bottles of red wine, which we opened for the gourmet meal. The taste of the meal was excellent. Flavor exploded in my mouth (still talking about food only). So, for $9.46 we had this incredible meal! And the best part... I didn't have to spend a dime!
We go to bed, and I make an honest "woman" out of him. Ahhh.... sweet... a wonderful meal and good country loving. Some of the best things in life are still free.

that sounds so good. i like this post...warm and fuzzy. the cassorole sounds great!
As lame as it sounds, it really is amazing how much money you can save by cooking at home instead of going out all the time. My bf and I discovered the same thing once we moved in together. And these days, we tend to prefer what we make ourselves versus what we'd get in a restaurant anyway. Plus, when you're at home anyway, you can make a quick escape to the bedroom for dessert.
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.
Good food...good wine...and a good man.
Things are lookinig UP buddy! Glas to see Michael is back to keep up in line!
Great job on the budget! Seeeee, all you really needed was a good man with a few bucks in his pocket and some lovin on the side, top or bottom!
Yumm-Y. Casserole is getting recreated here, I'm trying to stick to my veggie diet.
Sounds like a fanastic meal and evening.
I'll check my email again, I think the evite must have been misplaced ;)
