Some of you may have noticed that I was a little remiss in posting last week.  Well…there was an issue with my computer that involved the company parking lot, a gentlemanly intended hubby and a Yukon Truck.  Hubby’s itentions were to relieve me of a very heavy brief case, but somehow in the chaos of getting kids and cases in the car…the case never made it.  We realized this as we backed out of our parking spot and felt the thump ~ thump of the front and back tires going over something….you guessed it! 

Now if I am going to tell that story…I have to follow it with one of my favorite stories that show what an amazing hubby he truly is.  About a year ago I was on one of my trips away from home and received a call at about 10:00 at night.  It was my hubby, Darius, frantic about the fact that our electricity had been off all day due to a storm and the freezer (which sits outside in the heat) was full of meat that was now defrosted.  Now, I am not talking a small amount of meat.  The week before our local store had one of those blow out sales on beef….buy one of anything and get one for free!  Well my freezer was packed full of roasts, ground beef and round steaks.   My husband knew from experience that he could not refreeze the thawed meat…but throwing it out wasn’t an option for him either!  I directed him to our slow cooker cookbook and pointed out the pages to refer to.  I won’t go into the details, but I will tell you that I came home from that trip to a freezer full of cooked and shredded bags of roast, cooked and frozen bags of cooked Italian Mozarella Round Steak and many pounds of cooked ground beef bagged in 1 pound portions.  All this on the same weekend that he had a car accident in the Walmart parking lot and the stray dog from the area had puppies in our yard that did not survive and were found by our youngest and strongest pet lover (very emotional time).  In my book…he is a hero! 

So the next time a loved one says “I can’t cook”…just hand them some HG mixes and one of our easy to follow cookbooks and let them find out just how easy it is and how good they really can be! 

How about you….any stories of loved ones being the hero in the kitchen? 

God Bless and Keep You,

Tami
