A Recipe for a Happy Marriage
Date Night with IZ. Flowers for the table. Not sure how much longer dahlias will be available. But overjoyed to have some on the table tonight.
Dining al fresco. And, shut the front door, I made all that food. No, really, shut the door, it’s buggy out.
This guy is my date. I can tell you, that after 22 years, he’s still the man I want to spend time with. . . as much as possible, in fact. He’s that rare blend of amazing listener and fabulous conversationalist. No, I’m not biased. Everyone thinks that.
On the menu: Grilled Chicken with Peaches and Blackberries. The recipe is here: I subbed out Rosemary for Lavender.
Peach, Bourbon, and Rosemary are amazing together. No really, such a pretty drink. I didn’t garnish with Rosemary, because, well, I didn’t. But it’s still just as lovely. Sitting on the porch on such a warm night, close my eyes and we’re transported south. Dreaming together is a good thing.
Warning: the drinks might make you flirty.
We should do this more often? We should do this more often! (and that folks, is a recipe for a happy marriage.)

Adorable!The flowers, the food, and the happy couple all look divine! There really must be something to your magic because you both look so happy and youthful. I must try your secret.
It was a lovely night. The weather is changing, soon we won’t be able to sit out on the porch at night… so I’m trying to live it up.
It all looks delicious – the dinner, the drink and the happy marriage. Yay for date night.
I’m such a fan of date night. Tho, we’re such homebodies, it usually means staying in.
What an awesome evening. So glad to see you two so happy and blessed!! Have a great day.
Thanks, Monica!!
Again! Again! That was an amazing dinner. I love you so much. Thank you for a wonderful date night. Oh, and you are turning out to be quite the mixologist.
Thank you for putting up with my experimenting. I love just being with you. And that you let me snap ridiculous photos all the time.
I love how happy and in love you guys are. Puts the biggest grin on my face! <3
Well, that’s the thing… with this job (so stressful!) and IZ having bronchitis, we just needed to reconnect. Which probably seems odd for two people who work together, but it’s important to not talk work… you know? Otherwise, I’m not sure how long the happy would last. Heh.
Yay for a date night!!! It all looks amazing! And you two look so happy! The drink sounds yummy. I need to make it for our next date night. My hubby is a huge bourbon fan!
LOVE your hair color! Would love to know what you use?
Thanks so much, Julia. I love a bourbon too! As for my haircolor, I use Ms.Clairol’s Perfect 10 #5. I have a bit of grey, so my stylist suggested that I leave it on for 20 minutes to help with coverage, which seems to do the trick! However, all that grey tends to pick up the reds in any haircolor… so I don’t know if you’d get the same color results? I don’t know, I always expect it to be darker than it is, if that makes sense?
