Omnivore (om·ni·vore)
Needless to say, we have pretty varied tastes, but in our two years of living together we've done a pretty good job of finding recipes and making dinners that we both enjoy. Almost every dinner consists of him adding hot sauce or Sriracha (to everything), but that's just a matter of personal preference. We certainly don't agree about our favorite foods, but one thing we always agree on is our love of football.
We root adamantly for different teams (me for the Ravens and him for the Redskins), but it's worked out well since they're in different conferences. It also works out well because the Ravens won the Superbowl last year (!) so I win that contest (at least for now). We tend to spend our Sundays watching football for the large majority of the day to root for our teams and our fantasy teams (I have 1, he has 2) and last year we really struggled with planning Sunday night dinners. We'd wait until the second games we're over (about 7:30) and head out in search of dinner. I usually ended up cranky from lack of quick access to food, and more often than not, we settled for ordering pizza (while delicious, not exactly nutritious). So this year, we decided to make a change. This football season, the goal is to make a Crock-pot meal every Sunday.
Our Crock-pot has been used rather sparingly in the past few years, so I'm looking forward to trying and sharing a variety of new recipes. I'm by no means an excellent cook, and I'm sure I'll make some mistakes along the way, but who doesn't? That will all be part of the fun.
P.S. - If you don't make mistakes, please don't tell me.
Stay tuned for our first recipe for shredded pork tacos!
As a side note, have you ever looked at a word for too long and noticed that it starts to look strange? Sometimes that happens with the simplest of words if I see it enough times, but right now the word "omnivore" is playing tricks on me because I've been staring at it for quite a while...
- An organism that eats both plants and animals
- A person who eats all kinds of foods; "all-eater"
- My husband
