The Missus is going to be a bridesmaid at her friend’s wedding next month, and the bride and the other maids got together for dinner tonight. I tagged along to give the soon-to-be groom someone to talk to. Apparently he’s not into discussing different types of mascara.

But he is into cooking. For this feast, he roasted a chicken, grilled some hamburgers and asparagus, prepared a heckuva salad and even made brownies for dessert. Everything was awesome. Nice work, dude. You’re making the rest of us married guys look bad.

Of course, I looked bad from the outset at this one. I was asked to bring beer, and accidentally brought Shiner Ruby Redbird, which is beer with grapefruit juice and ginger in it. Seriously, I didn’t realize it was anything other than beer! It was not well-received.

Barbecue baked chicken with a big salad. A nice break in the middle of a long day.

Got home from covering an evening meeting, parked the car in the garage and walked into the backyard where the Missus was standing in a cloud of smoke, next to the grill. She’d surprised me with some chicken and veggie skewers. After getting the chicken cooked just so, we had a delicious meal.

A healthy dinner. First one in a while. For me, at least. Herb-roasted chicken, brussel sprouts, green beans and a side of pasta in a fresh tomato sauce.

Before heading to a rock show featuring two bands with members I’m friends with, the Missus and I walked to another couple’s house for a backyard dinner. Grilled chicken, squash, salad, and beets. I’m not crazy about beets, but I took a “no thank you” helping just to be polite.

Leftover spaghetti in a homemade marinara sauce with roasted chicken breast. The magic is still there, 24 hours later.
