Chicken n shamrocks dinner

Some of you may know how sick I've been - antibiotics and the strong narcotic cough syrup hasn't helped much and it's been well over a week having this. Some may have realized due to this I had to cancel my Shamrock Tea that was scheduled for this past Friday.

And most of you would know how disappointed I am/was/still am that I missed the whole fun Blarney Weekend. And some of you would know how wonderful my Darling Husband (DH) is when he knows how disappointed I am in something as dear to me as St. Patrick's Day!

Mr. Finch Rest also knows how upset I was/am/still am that I don't feel really well enough for fresh new blogging, or at least staging some pretty new Spring shots, anyway. 

SO HE TOOK MATTERS INTO HIS OWN LOVING HANDS!

He decided to make me Chicken and Dumplings (he is a great cook) and made the dumplings into shamrock shapes to surprise me!!!!! And brought it to me on a silver platter with a new shamrock plant as well!  And if that wasn't enough, he took pics of the steps so I could blog about it, because he knew I we would love it. He knows me us pretty well, doesn't he?

I KNOW I said I was done with the shamrock posts, but this one I just had to share!










He said it was tricky not getting the lens steamy when trying this one handed, haha:









The delicious end result:







And my fresh new little shamrock plant that he brought on the platter with the food:







Sharing this for Masterpiece Monday link party!

  2. He's a keeper, Michele! : ) What a sweetheart to not only make you that delicious looking soup, and to give you a new shamrock plant, but to take the photos of the process so you could have a blog post ~ unheard of! You may owe him one for this one.

  6. My sweet friend.....I feel so bad about your being so ill. Honestly if I had the money I would have flown back there and taken care of you. And I mean that. But I guarantee that my chicken n dumplings could not even possibly compare to your husbands. And those so over the top dumplings...well those are amazing. Especially from a husband. I so agree with everyone else he is a keeper. He went more than the extra mile. And he knows your heart. What an incredible couple you two make. I am so very impressed!! And even down to the shamrock plant on your tray. I'm almost in tears at his tenderness, compassion and sweet caring. Wow! What a guy!!!

    Luv you my precious friend....and please continue to take care of yourself. But I do know you are in good hands!!
