what's cooking wednesday - the birthday edition

Such a quandary. While I am committed to the continuing, if slow growing, success of What's Cooking Wednesday I need to post a recipe today, but it's also Michael's birthday. And that's one of my most favourite days. He's not so enthralled with it, but I think that has more to do with the number of candles that were on the cake. Ahem... 35.... cough. Then anything else.

So for today we shall revisit my neglected top 100 reasons I love my husband topic. Last we left off we were sitting at number 40. So enjoy numbers 41 - 50.

41. He encouraged me to offer up my services as Secretary to the Parent's Council at school because he thought I'd be good at it.
42. He is involved in numerous volunteer projects.
43. Sometimes he pays for the coffee of the person behind him in the drive thru line, just because.
44. He's a Scrabulous junkie, which I love even if he hogs up my internet with his incessant game playing. Although I have taught him to play smarter, so that makes it a bit easier to take.
45. He makes me laugh even when he's frustrating the hell out of me.
46. He doesn't mind, too much, that I let the cat sleep with us.
47. He's charming.
48. He is the de-cluttering king.
49. He's a man who wears crocs! Only around the house though, they never leave the property.
50. We have to change our address to reflect that we're on rural route delivery, something he wants to take care of because I "have enough on my plate" or so he tells me.

So really what's not to love there? Happy birthday baby. I love you!

Okay you know I can leave without leaving you with a recipe of some sort. So in honour of my main man's birthday I give you.....

What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret. Much to Kaffy's chagrin, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday.
