Life Just Needs a Little Spice

Variety is the spice of life. Luckily for my wife (and some others), I make life more fun and interesting with my creative, witty, and sometimes inventive texts.

With the recent snow storm North Carolina received, my coworkers got a small taste of my creativity.

Coworker: How's it going your way?
Me: (With a fish picture off a YouTube video) Fishy! But outside, white cold and slippery

It just comes naturally. The humor always spills out of me at the oddest times. While at an estate sale with my wife, I texted, "We NEED a pretzel maker!" I think she thought I was serious. She responded, "Oh dear."

Sometimes my humor helps soften the blow of something that may be unpleasant, so to speak. My sweet, darling significant other doesn't love shrimp and grits quite as much as I do... I finished dinner one night and promptly texted, "Come down so you can push yer shrimp around yer bowl some.  :) "

I took the dog for a walk in the snow storm when I got this text...

Wife: I hope you're heading home

Me: Nah... The dog wants a beer. Heading to convenience store

I like to think I handle criticism well, though I've been told otherwise. Sometimes, my cooking comes under fire. Recently, my betrothed told me I don't break up the meat enough in my Spanish Rice. 

"It's like mini-hamburgers imbedded in a rice casserole," I believe were her exact words.

After she walked off, the creative sparks in my brain just started firing and it was like I had no control over my fingers as I began texting furiously...
Me: Researched it. When the conquistadors invaded China, they put flattish balls of meat beneath the rice mixture. That was back in the 1500's-ish, or so. They wanted to show that they were embracing the culture upon which they were about to vanquish.
And this is how we get Spanish Rice!
Me: (second text) Wanted to make it authentic (meaning my previous attempts at recipe). Thought it would taste better.
