Okay, I texted him several ideas and he chose the most unlikely protein. I knew ribs were on sale, but one of the choices was to barbeque either ribs or chicken. There were a couple other options as well. He came home with ribs, fresh corn and fresh sugar snap peas. Blew my mind!!!
I'm going to sauté the peas briefly and very simply. He will grill the ribs, and I'll let him choose to grill or boil the corn. Granted, he LOVES these peas! But he chose the ribs and corn for me. So sweet!
Funny story about the sugar snaps, we were at a friend's small wedding reception at their house and the sugar snaps were part of the crudités. I must point out that alcohol was involved here so you won't think he's a complete person. Anyway, he spotted some sugar snaps in a dish on the counter and decided those looked plumper and juicier. So he grabbed one, dipped it and went to take a bite. They were FAKE! LOL! He was caught in the act by several people, including the bride. Everyone had a good laugh, including him.
Anyway, a few weeks later, the bride showed up at our house with a cute little basket of some of the same fake sugar snaps she happened to scrounge up. They have a place of prominence in my kitchen and bring a smile to my face every time I look at them. We'll probably have a laugh about this story later when we eat.
