Bumpy love

When I was dating my now husband, I lived down a long narrow road with oddly spaced speed bumps that were hard to see in the morning and afternoon when tall skinny trees along both sides would cast parallel shadows across the road

I'd slow down for bumps that weren't there just to slam into the ones that were, and bc I kept getting it wrong, I was having trouble learning where they were

One day I was in my bf's garage where a can of neon orange spray paint gave me the idea to mark the bumps, but he said there wasn't a lot left so I figured I'd go buy some when I could get around to it

Few days later, I'm leaving for work and all the speed bumps are bright orange up until the last one, which read "JACK LOVES JILL" (but with our names)

The paint eventually faded away, but I had learned where the bumps were by then

(Our love has yet to fade away, despite the occasional bump here and there)

No mosquitoes

My husband in bed, looking dreamy and trying to get my attention

Me with a mosquito racket: there are mosquitoes!

Him, giving me sexy eyes: there are no mosquitoes

Me, swatting: there are 3 mosquitoes!!

Him, beckoning: there are no mosquitoes

Me: there are, too!

Him, with a smile: so are there 3 or are there 2?

Me: fuck it there are no mosquitoes

(there were mosquitoes. Bites all over my backside but worth it)

Quick bites &/or unusual pairings

Transitioning to being an ingredient only household and struggling for the something quick to eat when the hunger strikes.

Ive prepped beforehand like muffins and bars & had some success but then when I run out or things are too busy to prep this falls through

What is something you cook/assemble quickly when the hunger strikes? Or when guests drop by and you want to pull a little something together quickly that's not just Charcuterie?

My MIL is a long time vegetarian and at home cook and I have been over at her house and she will just saute some greens or some mushrooms and just eat that one simple thing--I know it sounds silly but this was mind blowing to me

I was raised on frozen pizza and fast food so i guess I've thought about ingredient only style eating to be like complicated put together meals all the time.

Other times I have seen friends eat a snack that's a simple pairing (like walnuts wrapped in seaweed) but not something that you'd like buy prepackaged at the store, not something most people would think of I guess, maybe like "girldinner" type pairings of things that you'd have in the pantry

Appreciate any suggestions or links to recipe blogs in this direction etc 🙏
