Gourmet Monday

We have a new Nordstrom in town. We made of first visit by the looks of the store you would think we were in New York it was beautiful. Just outside of Nordstrom's is a Pretzel Maker, and we could not go home and eat because of the Open House going on. The plan was to split a pretzel but when we got to the end of the big line hubby wanted his own, go figure. So I ordered a Garlic needless to say he would not get near me the rest of the day.

When we got home I figured I already have garlic breath lets add to it who cares now we are home. Grandmother Katerine was a little Sicilian women and she loved spicy food. Hubby always talks about how great her food was with lots of spices and hot to beat and of course Garlic. So I modernized it up a little with my own twists. After all of the teasing about my breath he loved it, what could he say his breath now smell just like mine.
