Cue the sappy music because I really must sing my husband’s praises for a minute.
My sweet husband and I most certainly are horses of a different color. I say tomato; he says tomatoh - well, not really, but you get what I’m saying, right? I, of course, have fantastically wonderful ideas but my husband doesn’t always quite understand where I am coming from, and he often tells me so. And well, in all fairness, maybe sometimes (just sometimes!) he can be right – such as the time I decided it would be great fun to deliver phone books as a side job.
So when I told him that I was eating nothing but whole foods for the year, I expected maybe a knowing smile and a figurative pat on the head or perhaps a roll of the eyes and a sigh. But he really didn’t say much, and I didn’t give it another thought.
However, I have found over the past month that my husband has been exceedingly supportive about my experiment. For example, we received a very nice popcorn maker from his dad for Christmas. While my husband has perfected the art of making movie theater style popcorn which consists of all kinds of flavorings not found in nature, he always asks if I want him to pop me a batch of plain popcorn first. In addition, when it was his turn to pick our Sunday dinner restaurant, he went out of his way to find an eatery that cooks from scratch with fresh ingredients.
Finally, with yesterday being the Super Bowl (great game, by the way!), my husband picked up some chips and salsa for a game snack. Of his own volition, he read the labels and brought home chips and salsa (http://www.gardenfreshsalsa.com/) that he knew I could eat. It totally warms my heart that he was thinking of me.
So that’s my great guy. :-)
And I would be remiss if I didn’t extend my condolences to the New England fans and my congrats to the New York fans. Being Detroit Lions fans, we didn’t have a horse in the race (and probably never will) but it sure was a fun game to watch.
