i am no julia child. no martha stewart. (which is a shame really cos i have the world's best cook for a Mom)
but on a rainy evening in the state for lovers, i had the urge to cook my husband-to-be a dinner at home. Nothing fancy (I'm still learning this domesticated thing), just whole grain pasta with soy grounds in spicy spaghetti sauce with a glass of bubbly.
still... i felt like a wife-to-be. And that my friends, was a lovely feeling.

( oh you salt and pepper shakers )Me cooking on my own before he got home from work? it's a pretty big event in the Lechuga-Maxham househould.
note that my girlfriend Lauren called (after seeing my facebook status) to say she would send over her vegetable pasta recipe, to which i texted after our conversation to say that i was nearly about to text her to ask her how to use a manual can opener (shame, i know) but that i had figured it out just in time for the sauce to splatter on the stovetop. Nice.

Yummmo! That sounds tasty! Your such a cute little wife-to-be! A nice meal after work always gets the boy! ALWAYS. :)
I am so not a domesticated diva. I just finished reading Julie & Julia, which was a fun read, but it made me realize now more than ever that I don't have what it takes to be a culinary goddess. Oh well, I can always do the dishes. ;)
P.S.) Um, those salt and pepper shakers are naughty! Hehe.
Awww this is such a nice post. The meal looks so tasty as well, and i'm not a massive fan spaghetti bolognese, so it must be good :P
My husband-to-be and I are getting our own house together in June, so this is something I'm looking forward to so much! (we live together at uni at the moment, but money and sharing makes it hard to make nice meals like this, but we do it occasionally)
:) xx
That food looks delicious. Domesticated bliss!
what a wonderful wife-to-be! so sweet. your pasta looks amazing!
It looks as though you did a wonderful job! :) And side note: Julie & Julia? SUCH a great movie... I loved it.
Also- I see that bottle of Barefoot wine... have you tried their Moscato? It has quickly become my new favorite. Sweet White Wine = bliss. (p.s. ...I'm halfway through a bottle as I type.)
Love you, Sweet Girl!
spicy sauce..... yummy!
How sweet an domestic of you...
those shakers kill me.
that sounds lovely!!! I think you are going to be a wonderful wife...of course...and all that domesticated stuff comes with time...
that dinner sounds fantastic!!!
Looks like a job well done, even with those naughty little shakers!
umm, is it me, or have I seen those salt and pepper shakers somewhere before...maybe just the salt? lol
Yum! You are too cute Micaela. I love that you took a photo of the meal...
We love spaghetti w/ veggie sauce at our house. I like to add lots of peppers to it, and then the kids whine about it and I have to pick them out!
Did husband-to-be do the dishes after?
all you need is a frilly apron and then you'll be the cutest wifey cooking dinner for her husband.
That looks SO good!
And so sweet of you to have dinner ready and waiting for him.
Every time I read about you making new memories in your new home with your darling fiance it makes me feel so happy for you!

Sarah Emily (greystrawberrys), enjoy uni while you can because you will have many a night (how about forever?) when you guys get your love nest in June. Then we can swap recipes :)
J, I will have to try their Moscato! remember how tipsy i got after a few glasses of wine before our Mass Comm banquet? lol I miss your face! love you.
