Surprise!!

After working late tonight, I called home to see what hubby felt like eating for dinner.  What I really meant was, what restaurant do you feel like eating from tonight?  I figured I could pick it up on my way home and if I was lucky, I could go through a drive through.  But, do you know what I heard on the other end of the phone?  "I have dinner in the oven.  I knew you'd be tired tonight."  WOW!!  WHAT A MAN!!  I hurried home and when I got out of the car, I could smell the best aroma coming from the kitchen.  It was so delicious, I had to share his masterpiece with you!
