Got home from work last night and Ursula was sitting on the couch watching Wheel of Fortune and the Cubs were on next.
Now I know better than to say anything while she’s watching the Wheel or the Cubs. Whenever I do she always says, “Shut up I’m trying to watch this.” She then holds up her empty glass signaling that she needs another Captain and Diet Sierra Mist.
Anyhoo, I got busy on dinner and to my surprise, bingo! She took one bite and I knew I was going to get lucky that night.
Unfortunately the Cubs went into extra innings and I had to wait til 1:30 in the morning, but trust me...It was worth it.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you Sriracha Shrimp with Artichokes, Bacon, Onion and Cherry Tomatoes over Rice Ribbons.
Ursula, light my fire...
