It’s official. Ryan has left on his bachelor party cruise.
As those of you who follow me on Twitter already know…
Update on the Cruise Adventure
Since I don’t have the internet on my phone, please enjoy this grainy picture I took of the picture text message I received of my handsomely adorned fiancé. 🙂
Incoming Alert!
I just about died laughing when I saw that!
I talked with his cousin who said he basically raided Spencer’s and bought a bunch of bachelorette party gear for them to sport throughout the cruise. I love it!
Dinner
With my usual dinner date Bahamas-bound, I was on my own for dinner tonight.
Well, not quite all alone…
"What Am I? Chopped Liver?"
Since I did have one guest, I decided to reach into the freezer to make a romantic meal for two.
Macaroni Grill Basil Parmesan Chicken
I received a sample of the basil parmesan chicken Macaroni Grill frozen meal for two through My Blog Spark a week or so ago, and since I was in the mood for a fast dinner this evening, I figured I’d give this meal a go!
The pasta dish cooked up within 15 minutes.
Though it called for the addition of a quarter cup of milk, I substituted a half of a cup of fat-free cottage cheese since I didn’t have any milk on hand. I figured worst case scenario it would turn out cheesier, and that wouldn’t exactly be an awful thing. 😉
Along with the frozen pasta meal, I also received a large, white ceramic serving bowl to serve the pasta, which I loved!
Flavorful Dish
Though I’m not huge on frozen dinners, this one tasted really good. The sauce was creamy (apparently the cottage cheese was a good substitute!) and very flavorful.
Noodles + Veggies + Sauce + Cheese
Bite of Flava!
I definitely ate this meal straight out of the serving bowl.
Now it’s your turn to give this meal a try.
One of you will win your own sample of a Macaroni Grill frozen meal!
