I think it’s safe to say that most men don’t want to know, talk about, hear complaints about cramps, etc. But no one more than my husband. I, of course, would never send him to the store to buy them, but I left a message on our answering machine saying “I am stopping by to pick up tampons on my way home from work, do you need anything?” He called back and was like “I am really going to throw up if you use that word again.” Ha! I actually don’t think men could handle it every month like we do – am I right ladies?!
One of Tony’s favorite breads is Pepperidge Farm’s potato bread. I decided to put together a ham, egg, spinach and Cabot White Cheddar Oak cheese panini for breakfast yesterday. I love using my panini machine at work because it makes the kitchen smell so good and I like to make my co-workers jealous. Ha!
The bread turned out to be the perfect texture – crunchy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. So good!
Lunch was leftover Mexican pizza, I’ll have the last two slices for lunch today. Instead of chopped lettuce and tomato, I just chopped up some baby spinach over the top after it came out of the oven. The crust crisped up really well.
My Mom was nice enough to give me two of her freshly picked peppers from her garden on Sunday. Tony loves stuffed peppers, and I have grown to love them too. Just a mere six years ago I don’t think I would have eaten the pepper, just the insides. I am so happy I don’t eat like a 4th grader anymore – I was suck a picky eater! But Tony is specific about his peppers, they have to be soft, so I first cook them whole in the microwave on the fresh vegetable setting before stuffing and baking them.
Tony had a cheese blend on his side, I had the Cabot White Oak Cheddar on mine.
I made garlic bread on the side for dipping. such a quick and simple weeknight dinner. This is the recipe I follow for my stuffed peppers. I used leftover white rice last night though.
Yesterday since I had so much time before I had to leave, I decided to put a bit of make up on. Nothing much, a bit of foundation, some mascara and pink lip gloss. I got asked if I was going on an interview, or if Tony was meeting me for lunch, or if I had plans to meet friends after dinner. Huh, I must really look like shit without makeup!
And I saw these at CVS when I was buying, well, you know what I was buying!
I put that on Facebook wondering if Lori had tried them yet, she’s really the only person I know who loves candy corn. She basically said they taste like ass. As much as I love M&Ms, I’ll skip these!
Question of the Day: Candy Corn – love or hate it? I hate it.
My knee is feeling 90% better today, so I am going to swim at lunch and test it out. It feels like so long since I worked out – maybe a month?? Gah. Alright, time to get this show on the road, guess I’ll have to put makeup on today! 
Lol! My husband doesn’t get bothered by period talk. My 7 year old recently asked me to “please explain what those things are in the box that you call women things!” Ugh really?!
I don’t care for candy corn but like anything with sugar if I taste it I want more so I don’t eat them.
Very pretty picture Biz! I know how you feel though. I often wonder if anyone would recognize me outside of scrubs or running clothes.
You are beautiful natural but a touch of make up makes you look even prettier. It softens your face.
Men shouldn’t complain about tampons, as if they don’t have things we don’t like or don’t want to see. It’s a part of us that we need those. I don’t need them anymore but if R. ever refused to buy them if I asked him, I would kick his butt. It’s just a product!
So Tony man up about it!
My mom used to make stuffed peppers all the time when I was little. I never liked them very much, but now I enjoy them, but for some reason don’t make them very often.
Love the photo of you!
I’ve sent MAK to the store for tampons before. He always buys really random shit to go with it, just to see the clerk’s reaction. He’s come home with some really funny stories, but truth be told he couldn’t handle being a woman. He says that he doesn’t understand how anyone can bleed for 5 days straight without dying.
I can’t stand candy corn. I had to pick some up to donate to my son’s classroom for some art project they were doing. Just the smell of it makes me gag!
Guess what I had for dinner tonight? Stuffed peppers 🙂 I had been craving them so much. The microwaving really helped with the cook time a lot. I of course added Sriracha to my mixture.
No….candy corn for me, toooooo much sugar. Husband was never one to buy the “female” stuff. Guess I was always stocked up.
Food looks good and that sandwich….yum. You are a pretty lady, I like your hair-do.
Have a good evening.
hahaha- love that Tony is so against the T word. Those stuffed peppers look just AMAZING. Josh isn’t a pepper fan- I wish he loved them!!
I just have to laugh about Tony’s aversion. Really? hooboy Just tell him menopause will be here shortly and he’ll be fine. And by shortly I mean a *few* years. 🙂
That is one good lookin’ sandwich. I would be jealous too. Okay, I am jealous. YUM. I don’t have a panini maker but I do have a sandwich maker
I am so glad your leg is feeling better. You’re the best and we need you upright.
LOVE the pic’ and not because you are wearing make up. You have a smile that glows and makes us all smile back. 🙂 Love you!
No candy corn for me! Never liked it even as a child.
My Dad was the only man I’ve ever known that didn’t have a problem going to the store to purchase the ‘girly stuff’ for me. lol
So glad your knee is better!
Looking good in your selfie! 🙂
