Diary of a SubUrban Housewife

A New Man in My Life

There's a new man in my life.

He makes everything hot, moist, and juicy. He's so fabulous that, not only does my husband love him too, but my husband uses him--almost every single day. Sometimes twice a day.

Who is this incredible man you ask? A man so fabulous that my husband not only adores him, but finds him preferable to....me?

Why do we love George so much? Because we recently purchased (OK, the usual angel music here...laaaaaaaaaaaa...)

Yup, a George Forman Grill. Now all time will be divided into BGFG (the sad time before the George Forman Grill) and nirvana.

I'm here to say, Oh.My.God. This thing is fabulous. I'm serious. Dinner is no longer reservations. We cook around here. Every single night. Chuck cooks dinner. More often than I do. Chuck reads recipes. He measures, stirs, slices, dices, and whatnot. All so he can cook it on the thing of beauty that is our George Forman Grill. This is a man who, BGFG, cooked maybe five dinners in our entire relationship--13 or so years. And each of those five dinners was Hamburger Helper.

Now salmon, chicken breasts, turkey burgers, steaks, whatever. Anything that can be grilled he cooks.

And damn that food is good. We were never lovers of chicken breast before (too dry). Now we eat it like four nights a week. I'm telling you, anything you wouldn't eat before because it tended to dry out, cook it on a George Forman Grill and you'll never look back. And fast, oh man, from ingredients to dinner in less than 30 minutes!

If you don't have one run, now, to the nearest store that sells them. Get the kind with the removable grill pans. Your life will never be the same again.
