It might have been the illness but Jordan kept saying I was the perfect wife this weekend. I am not going to deny this; I kind of think I am a great homemaker. I wish that could actually be my occupation. This weekend though I cooked, and cleaned, and organized, all while nagging Jordan to drink fluids and take his medicine. I didn't complain once that the TV was on nonstop all day to ESPN.
In order to get Jordan to actually taste dinner I decided to spice it up a bit. I am not really sure where this recipe comes from. I got it from my mom, the version she uses is handwritten. Sometimes I think these are the best recipes. My copy is somewhat faded so I did my best to get it right. The finished product was pretty good; I must have been close.
