Emily, a fellow blogging friend, recently shared something very critical with me: apparently there is a recipe you can make to help entice your boyfriend to propose. Yes, yes, I was surprised, too. I thought if anything would do it, it would be my cakes and pies, but no, Glamour magazine insists that it is chicken that will do the trick. Well, I'm willing to try anything at this point. I'm on the verge of graduating and am quite ready to think about tying the knot. I am almost completely done with school and what time is there like now?
Now I'm going to have to try this recipe and I will consider it a challenge. I love a good challenge. Unfortunately, though, being the type A personality that I am, as much as I love challenge, I hate defeat or losing in any shape or form. And this is a challenge that, if I fail, the consequences are far graver than if it were, say, a game of Scrabble. (And, I assure you, I take Scrabble very seriously.)
Still, it's worth a shot. It does look really yummy and, even if he doesn't drop immediately to one knee and pull a diamond out of his pocket, at least he will be well fed and that could lead to many other good things. And, as I mentioned before, he does have a birthday coming up and I feel like I have to make it extra special since I have to go to a job interview on the day of his birthday. Engagement chicken, perhaps?
If I do serve this, I will have to find a different name to call it. Lemon and herb chicken? I think that sounds a little less intimidating to a boy than engagement chicken. Although we'll all know what it really is and what the purpose is. But he need not know. Pair it with some nice wine, some asparagus, and homemade bread (see, that's what I think should entice a man to propose!), and I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be convinced that marriage to me would be a very wonderful thing. At least he won't starve. Then I'll whip out dessert (key lime pie is his fave, but he's not too terribly picky) and I will be the most perfect girl in the world. For a moment or two, at least.
I hope I can make him feel like his birthday really is a top priority all while successfully interviewing for this job.
I feel this this is my big break. Well, maybe I have two big breaks--I've got a marital opportunity with Andy, and an employment opportunity at this firm. Is there employment chicken I can make, too?
