Tonight was date night. A couple days ago James and I decided that we'd spent much of tonight in the kitchen, working together to create a delicious masterpiece. It was his idea, really, as are many of the amazing things we end up doing together. We settled on making ravioli and chicken parmesan from scratch. We made the noodles, cut out the raviolis and filled them, prepared a homemade breading, pan-fried the chicken, and baked all of the deliciousness into a cheesy, marinara-y dish. We went to the store and bought all of the ingredients at about 3:30, arrived back at the townhouse at 4:30, and cooked until almost 8.
Together we filled the kitchen with warmth and laughter, dancing and playing and loving each other. We've not always made a great team, but now I feel we're a synchronized pair, working in tandem. The whole evening was magical. It's each carrying an armload of groceries out of the store, spending all afternoon working together, and then spending all evening sharing the fruits of our labor with one another...these things make my heart do a loop-the-loop. I want to do this forever, for the rest of my life.
