Marriage is all about compromise. Sometimes that means choosing the restaurant. Sometimes it means agreeing to watch alien documentaries even when I’d rather watch something else.
And sometimes… it means making chicken feet.
My husband requested chicken feet, and because I believe in keeping the peace around here, I said, “Sure, bebe!”
Was chicken feet at the top of my dinner wish list? Let’s just say… I was making this one out of love.
But seeing how happy he was when that plate hit the table made it totally worth it. A happy husband is a happy husband—and apparently, chicken feet are the way to his heart. 😂
So I cooked. He ate. He was happy. And our home remained peaceful.
Happy hubby, happy home! 🏡❤️
Now excuse me while I go collect my Wife of the Year award… preferably in the form of a coffee. ☕😂
