Okay, so my hubby and I recently celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary (we lived in sin for 5 years before that and dated while maintaining 2 sinful abodes for another 3 years before that - so to me it’s more like our 23rd anniverary!).  I can honestly say the time has gone by in the blink of an eye. 

Well, this year he gave me the best anniversary gift ever:  3 live lobsters from Nova Scotia!!  I have been pining for lobster lately and have wistfully mentioned on several occasions that we really need to go out for a lobster dinner.  (He’s not a big fan of the creatures so if we go out he can eat something else.) 

He came home from Nova Scotia very late the night before our anniversary.  In the morning he showed me the precious cargo of yummy crustaceans in our fridge. 

Needless to say we had a wonderful dinner that evening:  steamed lobster with clarified butter, bbq ribeye steaks (my fave cut), butter wrinkled green beans, sauteed garlic mushrooms (don’t ask how much butter we ate that night!), baked potatoes, and a delicious dark chocolate orange cake with vanilla ice cream.   No wonder I married the man.
