You're too nice Liela! No one makes their husbands breakfast and lunch!
As long as I'm unemployed and totally freeloading off my poor man, he gets his breakfast and lunch made for him every single day! <3 Probably when I get a job I'll still make breakfast and lunch for him, unless I have to be to work ages before he does. It just seems like the right way to take care of him.
My wife and I trade off the breakfast/lunch making. Most days she goes to work at 6 am while I'm always going in at 10...so it's usually me making both meals, BUT! on the days when she's off I'm always like "hey........my lunch ain't gonna make itself >:c" lol
I won't snap at my husband <3 He'd never do anything like that in rl.
Do you have a Kitchenaide mixer, Zah? :D That's what I make bread in since I don't have a bread machine. It has an attachment that kneads it for me. Super easy and doesn't take too long, either!
Good to know!!!I was actually thinking of asking my parents for one for my Christmas/birthday present. They're like $500 with all the attachments. I really want to make my own pasta too. =)
You can even grate a huge block of cheese with those suckers! They are fantastic.
AHHH!!!
I was eyeballing a turquoise one when I was moseying around with a buddy this weekend. I was like, "*** yeah! I haven't had home-made ice cream since I was a wee one! Ravioli maker!?!"

Must resist temptation to buy on impulse!!!
Not to influence you too much, but you would not regret getting one. They are ridiculously useful for everything! And they last forever, my mom-in-law still has the same one that she had twenty years or so ago and it still works great.
It's not impulse if you do research first and buy it anyway.
You don't understand. If I don't have something specific to ask for for a holiday my mother buys a bunch of country, cutsie-poo, decorative crap out of a catalogue (that doesn't match anything in my house) or miscellaneous crap that I don't want/need. Examples: Funnel cake kit, mini-old-style popcorn maker (I don't eat popcorn! That's the kicker!), standard to metric kitchen scale. All of which are bulky and just take up space in my pantry or cabinets.
Also, sometimes she totally ignores my requests. Nice wine decanter equals goofy colored, plastic margarita pitcher with matching glasses with squiggly stems.

I want a stand mixer =/ I love making bread.. Just too damn expensive.. Right now I knead with a hand mixer and dough hooks or my food processor (depending on the type of bread I'm making and how much) for most of it, then I hand knead for 5-10 mins.. Seems no matter how long or short I knead with either machine for... It still requires some good old fashioned hand kneading to get it right.

Totally agree, but I've never been able to get it right. My German grandmother made the BEST bread!

lol! /comfort! I don't like asking for specific things, so my parents send ridiculous stuff sometimes. When we lived in an apartment with no lawn, they sent us humongous wooden snowman lawn ornaments for Christmas once. Through the mail! Those things probably cost more to ship than to buy! We didn't have any place to put them (not even to store them really, our place was tiny) and we don't even like decorating for Christmas. xD I hate to admit it, but we said thanks and that the snowmen were adorable, then took them straight to Goodwill.
Parents. They are crazy!
Edit: Plus sometimes I can't ask for specifics, because they would completely disapprove of what I want. "Can I have five million and two Anne Rice novels, Mom?" "Uh ok, let's see what Anne Rice writes about... WHAT!? VAMPIRE EROTICA?! Here, have a daily devotion guide and ANOTHER Bible, you apparently need it!" xD Even though I don't even read the erotica stuff, just the fun novels.

Since we're not at the cabin a lot we heat water in a big oil drum and use some kinda hose connector thingy for showers and stuff (and electricity from a generator though we don't use it much) and he makes bread by digging under the fire and putting a pot thingy with dough in it and it's awesome >_> lol

The real world isn't as fun though.
at least you get money instead of giving money for your efforts to get a fancy piece of paper now

Oh God! Christmas decorations from parents are the worst, aren't they? Yeah...I've done the same with many items. It's just bad when they come to visit and notice that what they bought you has magically disappeared. AWKWARD! LOL!
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
