Foo - this is why i love my GF

so, i'm stuck at work today, while she has the day off. i was bummed to say the least. but, i get this email just a few mintues ago:

"Just got back from the store. Here's the menu for this evening:

A whole roasted chicken with a dijon-honey glaze with homemade stuffing, roasted with veggies and red, blue and regular potatoes. And a salad. Plus, a little special dessert!!!!!

And I'll wash your bike clothes :-)"


:) :)

Washing your bike cloths. Nice touch.

think she will share that recipe? I'm off today, too!

you're off too!!! damn.

anyway, she probably isn't using a recipe. like almost all our meals we just improvise as we go along. both of us love to cook, and we actually have been known to fight over who gets to make dinner. loser has to do dishes.

so what kind of dessert is she talking about here?

Hope she doesn't put your Lycra in the dryer! :eek:

blue potatoes???

I'm not sure a "dessert" discussion is appropriate here. :D

awwwww that's really nice, :) :) :)

You can't put lycra in the dryer? <confused jyo look>

Tim, don't ever marry her. She's perfect the way she is.

What time should I be over for dinner?

yeah, i've been putting my lycra in the dryer for years. actually, i put everything in the dryer regardless of the instructions. i haven't ruined anything yet. :)


jyo - we'll be eating around 7ish. bring your bike clothes - we'll get them washed for you while you dine.

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
I CANNOT believe you just said < confused jyo look>:roflmao:

Well, for one, I haven't had a working dryer in about 8 years. But even if I did, I follow the label's advice. I don't dare risk messin' up the fit, or my chamois. Would result in unhappy bits! :eek:

Besides, they air-dry rather quickly. :)

:beer: jyo! :D You have learned well from Vega-look-master. <serious Vega look>

But even if I did, I follow the label's advice.

i like to live dangerously.

Sounds like a GREAT girl!! :)

Your going to have a great night for sure :)

blue potatoes???


yep - these ones:

I haven't had them in a while.

Does your girl work on bikes too? :D

There are benefits to dating people that like two wheels. Lycra or leather, pick your poison. ;)

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I like to try new things. <debonair James Bond type look>

Tim, I'll go buy some bike clothes right now so I can get them washed.

nope. that's where this fairy tale ends. :o but, at least, i get a dinner and clean clothes! :)

I'm not sure what you have on your mind Ron, but I like whipped cream on my dessert.;)

Sounds better than most.

Hope you enjoy the dessert. ;)

My wife just brought our 5 year old to eat lunch with me. It was the best lunch I have had in a long time.

Isn't that what woman are supposed to be doing?

Thankfully, some men would rather have their women's hands covered in chain lube than cooking oil. :D

Much more fun to get dirty in the garage then go inside and heat up a frozen meal. Or help some kid at Arby's earn $6 an hour for college. :rolleyes:

Hope she doesn't put your Lycra in the dryer! :eek:
Um.....why not?

I've been washing my bike clothes (jerseys and lycra pants) in normal wash and dryer for a few years and never had a problem.

The dryer makes it stay not as stretchy as long. Might still work, but really fits better without the dryer time.

Tim: tell her, not us.

Have fun.

Interesting....I've never had a problem.

Then again, I'm probably a tad smaller than when I bought them so I may not have noticed.

Have fun.

but i like you guys...


by the way, that is an AWESOME avatar! i laugh everytime i see it.

Tim: tell her, not us.

Have fun.
he's just sharing the love.

like the new avatar AND sig, dipper!

Mine gave me a massage last night and this morning. (Apparently she forgot about the one last night).

he's just sharing the love.

Thanks, guys.


I know he's just sharing...but I'm jealous.

The only romantic thing to happen to me this week involved a NFL cheerleader text-messaging me from the All-Star game in Vegas to plan a get-together. Not even sure if it means anything. But she did end an email with "Spring is coming...wassup?". Can any of you lovely intelligent ladies translate that into man-speak for me please?:) Thanks.

Sounds like a keeper. :) Are you going to do something equally as sweet for her? :)

I think the sweetest thing a man can do when a woman makes him dinner is to eat it.

not sure that I fall into the lovely or intelligent category, but speaking as a lady, I'd say that she's interested. Why bother contacting you if she wasn't? You DO realize, don't you, that you have to tell us the story of how you met said cheerleader?

Well after 11 years of marriage my wife wash my lycras last week !!!! ( and i love her for that and many other things) I still do the cooking though :( .... Tim she is going to bring up the "lets take it one step further " subject for sure.... and agree she is perfect the way she is ..if it aint broken dont fix it ....

OOPS! I must make something clear...is not that i have not washed my lycras in 11 years.. is that last week i did not have to wash them myself....she beat me to it!!!

Liz...you fall into all the above, honey. Grrr.

Now here's the deal:

A web designer was at my booth for an upscale B-day party of a client. He said that I "had to meet the most awesome woman" that he referred to as his "future wife".

He was just showing her off, but maybe introduced her to the wrong person?

The good thing is that there was none of that "fall in love at first sight" crap that tends to ruin a relationship. I was seeing somebody at the time. In fact, my girl was with me when I met her, and I introduced them to each other. Two years later, and we might actually go out.

I might be crazy, but it seems men are more attractive to women when we aren't drooling and making booty calls every 5 min. The less I pay her attention, the more receptive she is. She is ICE COLD to other men.

She has crazy respect for me. I hope we have fun together and remain close friends.

But this ain't about me. It's about Tim, his awesome girlfriend and the blue potatoes.

i think this is true. when i was single and looking for victims to go out with me, it was really hard. i must of have given off the 'i would like to sleep with you' vibe.

since i've had a GF for a few years, i've talked to so many more women than when i was single.

So what was the bad news that she did all that?

well, the cat did barf on the sofa...but that wasn't the bad news. i guess she just did it because she wanted to...weird, huh?

Mine gave me a massage last night and this morning. (Apparently she forgot about the one last night).
She sounds handy.

That's the good thing about being female. you can be direct and not scare them off. :D

better blue potatoes than blue...

I am a potato freak and never heard of blue potatos!

you gotta try 'em. they're smaller and more dense than a regular idaho one. good for stewing or roasting.
