Officially Past the Seven Year Itch

As of this past Monday Wonder Boy and I have been together for eight years. Wonder Boy came home to a completely inappropriate SomeeCard, the caption of which I will not share, and he got me a beautiful orchid and sweet card. And then he made me the greatest. dinner. ever. For his romantic anniversary dinner, Wonder Boy turned to one of the greatest foods out there: potatoes. And he didn’t screw around – he mashed the potatoes, which is hands down the best way to go.

Then Wonder Boy upped the ante by baking some frozen vegetarian pot pies, which we turned upside-down onto the mashed potatoes (he says this is how he’s always done it).

Now you might be unimpressed and thinking that this meal was easy and, frankly, not that good for me. You are right on both counts. But, mashed potatoes is one of my two favorite foods in the whole wide world. (The other is homemade macaroni and cheese, which Wonder Boy made me on the night he proposed to me.) And a pot pie is the perfect comfort food accompaniment to mashed potatoes.

The boy knows how to romance me.
