After over 20 years of marriage, my husband still dumbfounds me.
We're joining a group of friends for dinner tomorrow. We're bringing homemade pizza. Translation: Keith is making pizza. We both went to the grocery store after work today without notifying the other; hence, we have a surfeit of red and green peppers and asparagus. So it will be a peppers and asparagus pizza. We also have an over-abundance of bananas, but one draws the line. Or so I thought.
Til Keith came out and announced that he's doing a peppers and asparagus and potato pizza, so what kind of cheese did I recommend?
Um. Excuse me. Potato? On pizza?
Yes, yes, trust me, it will be fine, so what cheese, says he.
Potato? On pizza?
I have no recommendation for the cheese. I can't get beyond the potato. Marriage. Always an adventure. Even with potatos.
