Things I Get To Do When Jim Is Gone



Well, here I am: home alone on Friday night. Jim is on his way to Seattle to celebrate Jill's 30th birthday. Happy Birthday Jill! I wish I could be there, but I have been on the road for the past three weekends, so I needed to be home. It is rare that I have any alone time at home, maybe once or twice a year. Although I already miss Jim, I get to eat whatever I want for dinner! So, here is a photo of tonight's meal: a homemade, 100% ground sirloin bacon cheddar cheeseburger with lettuce, mustard, ketchup and kosher dills on a kaiser roll. YUMMY! I seared the burger in a cast iron skillet on both sides and placed it in a 350% oven to cook through. It was so juicy that I had to take a shower afterwards! On the side, I added natural organic Ruffles with French Onion dip. I have Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream for desert - later. So in addition to eating all the things that Jim hates and I love, I thought here are a few other things that I get to do when Jim is out of town...

The List:

- Control the remote

- Watch Xanadu and country music videos as much as I want

- Sleep on the left side of the bed

- Wear Jim's clothes

- YouTube without headphones

- Aggravate Leo

- Teach Calvin to roll over

Saturday night's dinner with my niece and cousin, Lori and Millie:

Homemade guacamole and tortilla chips
Grilled dry aged ribeye steaks
Baked potatoes with european butter, sour cream and fresh chives

Sunday night dinner:

Slow cooked pot roast with vegetables
SautÈed young organic zucchini

And a couple of more things I can do when Jim is out of town:

- park in the middle of the garage
- eat tomatoes, onions and avocados
- turn the air conditioning down very low
