Life of Daisie, Andy, and Annabella: I don't like cream of mushroom soup!

I feel as if Andy and I become more and more of a family everyday. As I have said in previous blogs, our marriage has been tough between work schedules, homesickness, and all the other stuff that comes with the start of a marriage. Moving into our own place has made things so much better. We have really been working as a team to get our place together...and really just working as a team on everything. Just today we were discussing if we should get a futon or two recliners for our entertainment room. I had said that it didn't make a difference to me and Andy reminded me that my input was important because we're a team. I liked hearing that.

There is a point to all this.

Since we've moved in, I have been cooking more often. Some of the meals are super easy that I've just learned to make up out of the need to eat but too lazy to really cook. BUT, Andy and I are starting to make meals that our families would eat. I made my mother's tuna casserole. Andy enjoyed it, much to my relief. I love tuna casserole. Tonight was Andy's turn.

He told me he wanted to make pork chops in cream of mushroom soup. I hate cream of mushroom soup and only like it in tuna casserole. I have to be honest and say that I have been worried about it for two days. He assured me it was really good and that the gravy it ends up making is so yummy with rice.

I admit, I went to the store and bought a brown gravy mix just in case. But I'm happy to announce, I didn't need it. I wanted seconds but didn't! So here some pictures from Andy cooking (a baker AND a cook, yippee for me!).

Andy preparing the chops with salt and pepper. Something that made me laugh was that Andy was grinding the pepper, but never took off the top. Some cook!
