My husband finally made me a meal........

Well. It's only taken 6 years of marriage but last night I cam home to a truly splendid OS meal cooked by by husband. A lovely spag bog made with yellow stickered mince, smart price pasta, yellow stickered garlic bread and a cheap tin of tomatoes. He even managed to add the herbs etc of his own accord.

I never thought I'd see the day when he would make me something from scratch (not just taken out of the freezer and popped on a tray).

And it tasted delicious (and I don't even eat red meat! [more of a taste thing for me rather than saving the cows])

Wow. Suddeny I see my husband in a whole new light :-)
