God's Gift to the Single Girl

Rotisserie chicken. So simple, yet so easily overlooked.

Rotisserie chicken is god's gift to the single girl.  For a mere $6.99 ($5.99 if you find it on sale) you have a delicious, well cooked bird.  You can heat up some frozen veggies, toss them in a little butter and garlic add some potatoes (Bob Evans does a mean heat & serve version) and you've got a great "homemade" nutritionally balanced meal - go easy on the butter, we're just trying to add flavor here, not a heart attack.

The next day, take the second breast for lunch. Add a piece of fruit, yogurt and a bottle of water - DONE!

Dinner the night after...you can shred it into a salad.  You can dice it up and toss it into a pasta dish.  You can stand up in your kitchen and pick the bird clean with your fingers.

So many options!! How do YOU like your rotisserie chicken?!

My Favorite Moment in a Relationship

Is when its over.

It’s that crystal clear moment when I realize the person I’ve been dating has nothing to do with the person I thought I had been dating.

They look the same.
They speak the same.

But they are different.

It’s the moment when you realize everything you thought and hoped and wished for is naught. Ain’t there. Doesn’t exist. They are not who you thought they were.

After 34 years of dating, ok, not quite 34 years. More like 18 years of dating, I’d like to think I’d catch on sooner. That I would be able to spot the crazy. The lunatic. The nut job...a little bit sooner.

This one only took 46 days.

Could have been worse.
