Valuable Lesson # 1

My husband sent me this email:
So I ordered the kabob plate which was three skewers of meat; one of lamb, one of chicken and one of beef. It came with a few french fries and some steamed vegetables. Way more than I could finish but I did my best. You know how I eat: a bite of lamb a french fry and a couple of vegetables to include this real skinny green bean. Guess what was not a green bean?
It was one of the hottest peppers I have ever eaten. My mouth was burning, Nate and John were laughing and I was about out of Diet Pepsi. I made it through without too many tears.
And that is how I learned a valuable international travel lesson: Always test the food you are eating with little bites first.

I really miss him. I love the little stories he shares with me. I appreciate that he knows the ones that will make me laugh and the ones that won't. My favorites are the ones where he does something silly or embarrassing. He doesn't really get embarrassed too easily, and is usually quick to laugh at himself. But there was this one time.......

My mom and sisters and I were making potato salad for Easter, while the men were watching TV. I took a big spoonful of mayonnaise to my husband, but I told him it was frosting......... He put the whole spoonful of mayonnaise in his mouth. He was very nearly sick, and was mad at me. To be honest, I thought he would just take a little bit. Too bad he hadn't learned the lesson above 8 years ago.
