More ways to love your wife

For starters, I'd suggest that those of you out there who are going to celebrate the memory of the missionary to Ireland might do well to remember that Magonus Sucatus Patricius never, ever, EVER drank green beer. So if you want to keep things authentic......spend some time in prayer for the evangelization of your island, and keep far, far away from green beer.

Rumor has it as well that it's not really beer at all, but rather water from the Chicago River dyed green for the occasion.

Now for dinner, Mark has a suggestion that will help you fulfill your 1 Corinthians 7 responsibilities to her for a long time. Other helpful suggestions include tomato products and, well, fulfilling your 1 Cor. 7 obligations. So pour that Tabasco on your corned beef and offer up a prayer or two for your pagan neighbors. You won't regret it.

i was registering yesterday, at linens and things, with my fiancee.

we were scanning waffle irons, and i thought of you. also, scanned a 10pc set of emerilware stainless cooking stuff. $200 for the set, and i BET you it lasts forever.

we'd originally registered for allclad coppercore at williams&sonoma, but then i felt embarassed asking for cookware that was that expensive, so we're going to delete it. the only thing we're going to "keep" from w&s is some Shun cutlery and a couple of cool cookbooks. I can see the value in having some good, quality knives, but everything else we had there is getting taken off in favor of stuff from target and LnT.

Sounds like good choices, Shawn. Far more important than the brands you choose is how well you learn to use them and maintain them. My wife comments that our "Buick" Chicago Cutlery performs like my mom's "Mercedes" Henckels after I sharpen it.

Whatever you do, though, don't fill your kitchen up with cheaply made pans, knives, or gadgets--the clutter alone will cost you more than a new set of All-Clad as you and your wife head to a restaurant because you can't stand using your cooking tools. (for some reason, church kitchens are generally stuffed with that kind of junk)
