As I tried to come up with a dinner idea tonight, I decided that I really need to get groceries. We literally have an empty cupboard, freezer, and fridge!
As a result, our meal was quite random!
I present to you gourmet nacho chips. Only the most sophisticated of chefs would approve!
Said gourmet nacho chips included nacho chips, salsa, and leftover Black Eyed Pea Soup. It was a dinner fit for a king and queen.
Dessert was requested by Eric. He thought it would be a good idea to coat almonds in chocolate like we did with the raisins.
I agreed.
However we both concluded that there was not enough chocolate on them…
So we added a double layer.
It was improved, but sort of a bust. The raisins were a gazillion times better. We will be sticking to the chocolate-covered raisins!
We still managed to eat a few…
Then we did what all normal married couples do.
Drawing Showdown.
How did this drawing show down begin, you ask?
Well, Eric said he was better at drawing than me (oh no he didn’t!) so I challenged him to a drawing showdown.
It was ON.
I picked a picture of myself at 3.5 years old. As you can see, my love for stuffed bears and the colour pink started early. [I do not thank my mother for my bowl shaped haircut though!]
I set the Kitchenaid timer for 5 minutes and we drew our little hearts out…
It was a moment that will forever go down in our family history.
We giggled, we cursed, and we stuck our tongue out of our mouth just a little bit as we drew.
We focused.
We popped a few brain cells.
Zooming in…
This is what you call Epic.
And now we will do a little vote- Can you guess which one is MY drawing and which one is Eric’s drawing? :whistle: AND if you so dare, say which one you think is better!!! :lol:
I know, I know, it is like trying to pick between a Picasso and a van Gogh!
How fun! I’m thinking yours is the top and Eric’s is the bottom?
I’m thinking yours is the first and Eric’s is the second! And I like the first. :)
Yep…yours is the top and Eric’s is the bottom… :-p
Hmmm. I think maybe Yours is the bottom and Eric’s is the top.
I think Eric’s is the top and yours is the bottom. The bottom one is *slightly* better. You two are craaazy! :p
I love the pictures, but I am still focused on the chocolate covered almonds. Do you cook more with dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
dark (I dont eat dairy so milk is out unless they have almond milk chocolate? lol)…organic dark is much better than non-organic dark I have discovered.
Mmm, almond milk chocolate! I think you’re on to something~!
I’m going with yours is the first picture (the one that drew the GOOSE), and Eric’s is the second…
cute!! and a fun idea :)
LOL those drawings are amazing! And the nachos — my favorite!
hahaha. This is too hilarious. Nothing like a good showdown to bring some excitement to the evening :-)
two of my faves: almonds and chocolate…the combo is even better…
just made some muffins…i need to start creating more lovely recipes like u!
I think Eric’s is the first one and yours is the second? How cute are you two?
I think yours is the top and eric’s is the bottom and Angela please go grocery shopping that was a non-dinner hahah I would have called for take out or raided your supply of glo bars hahah -!
oh.my.gosh. i almost fell out of my chair laughing! you guys are hilarious…i’m thinking yours is #1 and his is #2?
I’d say yours is on top and his is on bottom……..Okay, going on a limb here but I think the bottom one shows slightly more careful artistic skills. Don’t be mad! The top one is cute too!
I think the one on the bottom is better! :)
Yours is on top. And it’s the better one.
I think yours is the top one and Eric’s is the bottom one.
my guess is #1 Eric and #2 yours.
you guys are goofy!
I would say the bottom drawing is better. But it kind of creeps me out. It reminds me of the clown from the Saw movies. LOL
I love making healthier versions of favorite foods. Those nachos look delicious.
My vote goes to the top one. The bottom one has some nice shading on it, but the top one actually looks more like the picture. :) I think yours is the top one and Eric’s is the bottom….
Your random dinner actually looks really good. I find that some of my best dinner creations have been the result of not having enough groceries in the house. It forces you to dig real deep into the pantry and freezer, and get creative with weird ingredient mixtures. :) Constraints can bring out the best in you sometimes!
