10th Anniversary! (And, y'know, other life stuff.)

Apr 05, 2011 12:05

Phil and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary this weekend. I think this is pretty fantastic, and I attribute it to us both being extraordinarily stubborn individuals.

On our actual anniversary, April 1st, Phil brought home ten roses (1) and then we took each other out to dinner (2) at Crave (3 ( Read more... )

Excellent report! I'm glad you had fab anniversary celebrations.

April 1 anniversaries rock, though ours was our first. We also went adventuring: best food was smoked whitefish bake with chargrilled toasts. That was amazing. :-)

Another April 1st? I did not remember that, though I'm sure it's been mentioned before.... And that does sound delicious. So happy anniversary to you too!

Freezers are paradigm changers. No, I'm serious ( ... )

Woot has a good deal on a vac sealer - it's a Woot-off, though, so it won't last long!

A good chest freezer is pretty high on my list of "things I want when budget allows." I really like being able to buy a big mess of something on sale and/or in season, then just sit down once to do the prep; it's also nice to have a stock of almost-ready "this is actually actual food" on hand.

Guess what the sis-in-law gave us for Christmas? Yup, we have a vac sealer.

I regard it with suspicion. Eventually, I will need to figure out what to do with it.

Thanks for the hints!

We now have a Costco membership, so the bulk buying is definitely a good idea. I will have to start thinking about the preprep thing--I can see how that could be an amazing time-saver, done properly.

I am suspicious of the idea that Jag would ever taste like ambrosia. I may try this later.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the party!

And while this may be dangerous to share with Phil, advil is totally fine on the liver...ibuprofen is processed through the kidneys, not the liver. It's tylenol that you can't have while drinking.

Advil is relatively ok and having that and a beer in your system at the same time is not going to hurt things. I'm not sure I'd go on a bender but a beer is just fine.

(take this advice from the girl who regularly goes through 1000-2000mg a day of ibuprofen, and who has spoken with multiple doctors and confirmed this. I would never ever try this same trick with vicodin or tylenol, but ipruprofen? pfft.)

Woohoo Bender!

Sorry, I just love the "ibuprofen? pffft." comment.
Particularly at the moment, when I have maxed out on ibuprofen and am killing my brain with vicodin and cyclobenzaprine. Downside is that I'm not getting anything done tonight. Upside is that my back isn't bugging me right now. And that I'm a little too out of it to wonder what this drug cocktail is doing to *my* kidneys. :D

Gah! I hope you--feel better?
