Today is my wonderful husband's birthday. He is so wonderful to Emma and me and takes good care of us. I'm so glad that he asked me to marry him and that we have been able to grow together through really really bad times and really really good times.
Jacob is really into the outdoors. He loves to camp, hike, rock climb and backpack (which he hasn't done in forever). He also enjoys playing tennis (which he's really good at), basketball, volleyball, ping pong, and dodge ball (which is what the crazy picture of him is). He's super competitive which is a dangerous combination to have with me (Mrs. Super Competitive). One thing that I absolutely love is that he enjoys a good chick flick every now and then, but not too often (I can't stand chick flicks all the time either). We enjoy watching comedy and action movies together.
Jacob doesn't like to play video games a whole lot. He thinks having a Wii someday would be okay as long as it doesn't interfere with us going outdoors. I like this about him too. It would drive me crazy to be married to a hard core gamer.
Jacob is also a recently converted (almost 4 years) board game lover. It took some work but he now enjoys playing games with me and other people.
Since I'm blogging already how about a recipe? This recipe is one that I had never had until Jacob and I were married and I love it. I don't know the technical name for it but we call it "Shells with Peas and Bacon". It makes a TON. I don't have an actual recipe written down but it's so simple that you don't really need one.
Shells with Peas and Bacon
1 pound medium shells
1 pound ricotta cheese
1 pound bacon
1 package frozen peas
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile cook bacon until crisp. Steam peas in microwave and drain. Add peas and bacon to shells in saucepan. Stir in ricotta cheese. Heat to desired temperature. (I also add some salt because I like my food kinda salty).
We halved the recipe last time we made this and still had some leftovers. It's really good though and I hope you enjoy it. We ate this with some home canned peaches and a salad.
