anniversary dinner

god bless my in-laws...they drove about an hour and half to watch the kids so mark and i could go out to dinner for our anniversary.  it was the night before our anniversary, actually, so on our day i made mark a nice meal.  i will call it the week's monday meals, since i am soooo behind.  it was shredded chicken (in some marinade-can't remember), with orange pepper stuffed with organic quinoa, and fresh green beans from the backyard farm.  it was quite a good meal and easy to make too.  for dessert i had made a chocolate chip pie in a heart shaped pan.  i almost forgot it was in the oven, so, oops, it was a little overcooked, and ended up drying out faster than regular cookies might.  it was good for the night and next day at least.  i love that i took a picture of it.  it just looked so pretty with the bell pepper, i had to.  i couldn't find the camera and so i was searching the house for the camera while mark sat at the table salivating like pavlov's dogs.  a good exercise in patience, i say.
