sweating garlic
The news in the Dawn household? Mr. Dawn is sick. I know. Life is just not the same. Mainly because I feel like I’m living in a hallowed out garlic clove. Why, one might ask? Well….I made his mother’s magic “Flu Soup” for dinner tonight. The ingredients of this soup:
- 2 Onions
- 6 Tablespoons of minced garlic
- 1 quart water
- Braggs liquid aminos
I rolled up my sleeves and got to work without realizing what I was getting myself into. Chopped the onion. Started mincing the garlic. “I wonder how much garlic I need to mince for 6 Tbsps?” An innocent enough question, right? 6 cloves? Nope. 12. Not even close. 2 whole heads of garlic later….I decided that its enough. Mainly because that’s all the garlic we had in the house.
He loved it though. Ate at least two whole bowls of it before I headed out to Jazzercise. I was so self-conscious the entire time…all I could smell was the garlic scented sweat that was pouring from my forehead. Gross!
But you know what? When I got home Mr. Dawn had cleaned the entire kitchen and did the dishes! Whilst sick. **swoon** That is love folks. I’ve been feeling super stressed this week, with parent-teacher conferences, two tests, and trying to figure out what to do for Mr. Dawn birthday on Saturday. So it was so amazing to not have to clean. Instead I did Insanity 
Umm–Mr. Dawn should run husband classes. My husband clearly needs whatever training he could offer!!!
Poor Mr Dawn! I hope he feels better before his birthday!
Just found your blog! Not sure about that soup…Good luck with the birthday plans! I see you’re headed to Boston! Congrats! It is just an awesome experience. You will have a blast! Looking forward to following your training!
Hope he’s feeling better…and that does sound like a lot of garlic, but it probably tastes super yummy!!
I hope he feels better soon!!! And holy garlic is right! I had to laugh at the “garlic scented sweat pouring off my forehead”!! Too funny!
You are such a good wife to make soup for poor Mr. Dawn!! 2 whole heads wow! I HATE parent-teacher conferences…I feel bad for you, good luck! Any ideas of what you are doing for his B-day? Seriously, when billy cleans I find him more attractive than ever he he! How is insanity so far??
Yikes!! That soup sounds intense!! Hope it does the trick though and Mr. Dawn feels better for his birthday
He’s a keeper!
