Problem 1: My husband is 6'3" and easily fits 3 muffins in his monstrous hand.
Problem 2: I love spoiling him, so sending a bunch of 'regular' size muffins... just isn't epic enough!
Problem 3: Occasionally some of the young NIEVE single guys at Hubby's work have commented that "having a wife must be a drag"...
So... Here's my Remedy for all 3 problems:
Basically the trick is to cook a 1/2c of mix in a GLASS Measure cup for 1.5x the regular time!
Let it cool completely and it fits perfectly in a 1cup Ziploc! ... Ready to make single guys at work want a wife!
To Get all Detailed:
1) Make any muffin mix you like
2) Put 1/2 cup of mix into a 2 cup GLASS Measure cup (Plastic will melt, common sense.)
3) Put the rest of your mix into your regular muffin pans
4) Cook both the pan & the Cup (not touching) at regular temp & regular time
5) Take the Pan out when the timer dings, but leave the cup in for another 1/2 the regular time
6) Put the Glass cup on a cloth to cool (to prevent weak glass cups from cracking)
Every Married Woman's Mission is that
The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack anything good!
Some other things I do to make Hubby feel extra special is:
~ First off I get up 2 hours early to pack his work-lunch EVERY Day! And it's my Mission to make every lunch EPIC!
- Make Sandwiches that are 3 layers of his favorite veggies, 4 layers of
MEAT, and of course cheese & condiments (I have to use a deep square
tupperware because his sandwiches don't fit in Sandwich bags/boxes)
- Cook an AWESOME (cheap) extra dinner tonight, to pack for tomorrow
~ Leave Girly-Usshy-Gushy Love notes on post-it notes hidden in his lunch box (or care-pack when he's deployed)
~ DEMAND that he have a fun night Without me & kids atleast once a month (which by HIS choice usually does involve me anyway)
~ Put "Jeff's money" in EVERY months budget (even though it's usually only $20-$50/mo, it's money he can use for stupid stuff)
~ Scratch/Rub his back at bedtime until either my shoulder is falling off, or he falls asleep (which ever comes first)
~ Do his dishes... yeah, that one sucks for me, but it makes him happy :p
~ Enforce that any child from my womb "had better respect My Husband at all times" (he was my Hub, BEFORE he became their dad!)
~ Raise SweetP & TBone to be well behaved, well loved, and well loving kids, to make him proud to be THEIR dad.
~ ASK him what makes him happy, and mental-note whatever I did every time he get's the "love this woman" face (sometimes I even make a post-it note in my "locker" (desk cabnet) so I dont forget)
~ Above all else, just do my best in everything I do, and keep my mouth shut about Harmless grievances
(oh you bet your bottom I speak up if he's about to do something consequential! but I refrain from nagging or whining as much as possible)
I'm not A perfect woman, but I'm HIS perfect woman! <3 ... goal accomplished!
