I gotcha, Brit. Sometimes I wish I had you on speed dial - I guess this board will have to do wink

Today I tried something different. Instead of hiding up in my bedroom while H was around, I told him I was going to be watching the show (that he's now 2 seasons behind in) in the living room with the nicer TV. I figured this would ensure that he'd have to go elsewhere in the house so he wouldn't spoil the plot. It did work for a few episodes. It felt good to feel like I could actually LIVE in my house.

Then he came down to ask if I wanted to go get a drink. I declined, and he headed out to who knows where. Before he left, he asked if tomorrow, did I want to make that dish that he asked about last time he was in town. I said I'd think about it. He used his "sweetening the deal" voice again and said that it would give me some food for the week (does he seriously think I don't eat or something when he's not here? In the past I was admittedly really lazy and jokingly told him while he was traveling that I was hungry a lot when he wasn't around but that's more than a year in the past.).

So - here's my question. Part of me wants to say no, because I don't really want to hang out with him and make this dish. BUT part of me really likes eating this dish. I don't have to eat it WITH him, after all.

Making it seems like it would assuage this guilt/discomfort thing we've speculated he has. I'm not really interested in doing this. But not making it would mean I'm not getting a tasty dish.

Thoughts (on this Saturday night smile )?
