Smile #2

Avoiding all crowds and busy streets, I spent a wonderful July 4th along side my boyfriend.  With nothing on the agenda, we were able to relax and take the day an hour at a time.  

Arriving at his apartment late Friday afternoon with a hungry tummy, we went to pick up ingredients for our dinner at a local supermarket.  Tender steak, seasonings, drinks, desserts, breakfast items for the next morning, our buggy was filled with goodies.  Before we checked out, we spotted a steak recipes book. Not only did we find the perfect recipe, we were able to get the book under a steep discount :)  

Chef Bubble began working up a storm in the kitchen.  Being the 'eater' in the relationship, I was able to relax watching TV until dinner is ready.  I do provide kisses as compensation.  

Bon Appetit!

After the dinner, we lay down by the couch and enjoy the Redbox we picked up earlier at the store.  'Her' is a romantic drama film based on a man falling in love with his artificial intelligent computer operating system.  The movie explored a very interesting topic, what happens one day when we are able to formulate computers to have feelings and emotions just like us.

Waking up to sweet honey aroma is possibly the best way to face a new day. :)

Chef Bubble is once again whipping up a storm in the kitchen making french toast. Bread dipped in egg, fried to the perfect crispy yellow tone, then layered with honey and a touch of sugar. YUM! :)

Our day was spent at shopping at Hobby Lobby, World Market and Target.  Coming back to the apartment, we changed into our swim suits and lathered ourselves with sunscreen.  Time for a tan!  

Sad to find out that two hours exposure to the sun is only equivalent to a slight tan line.  Better get working on it next weekend.  

With a whole menu in mind, Chef Bubble quickly gather the ingredients and started working.  Meanwhile, I flopped myself to a nice seat in front of the TV.  Total gender role swap in our relationship, I'd say.  :) 

Enjoy the Netherlands vs. Costa Rica world cup game with a nice cold Heinkein.  Go Dutch!!  I am ready for the next game! 

Look at how yummy this look!  A step closer to professional chef!

Ending the evening with Kiss or Drink - a game to test how well do you know each other.  

Here are some of the questions we asked:  (Highlight to find out some of our answers!)


Boyfriend: 
- If your girlfriend could choose one thing of yours to get rid of, what would she choose?  
- Complete this sentence:  My girlfriend is a natural-born ____________
- Complete this sentence:  I knew I had found the love of my life when she ________.  
- Complete this sentence:  A perfect girlfriend is one who _cooks_______.  

Girlfriend:  
- Fill in the Blank:  My boyfriend may be the world's best _chef_, but he may also be the world's worst _eater _. 
- What's the silliest thing your girlfriend has ever done?  
- Complete this sentence:  A perfect boyfriend is one who ___cooks and change diapers____. 
- What is the strangest gift your boyfriend has ever bought for you?  He said the Justin peanut cup; I said the tiniest package in the world
- What percentage of the house work would your girlfriend say you do?   I wrote 78%; he wrote 75% but really it's like 90%

Although we drink more than kiss, it was a blast laughing at the answers we had.

Hehe, Velcro shoes!

Last day of mini vacation.  Let's explore the city, Mooresville! 

It has been a while since we bowled!  We are one competitive couple and can't miss any chance to show off to each other.  Typically, gutterball is usually my talent.  But this time!  I was able to keep up with him, pin by pin ... :) until the fourth frame... then my luck ran out and gutter time.  He won with 114 to 78.  Next time, I shall take you down! 

Follow that with a trip to the the theater.  As promised by the trailer, Tammy was definitely funny.  Tammy's journey with her grandma is definitely something new. 

But the best part was when the credit stroll down and one character named Kathleen's real name is Dakota Lee, aka Chef Bubble's real name!  :)  Coincidence or new nickname!  

A mini vacation away from home.  :) 



What did you do for your July 4th?  Share any Smiles you had!
