Yesterday Mr. Devilish Dish sent me a text message that read, "What's for dinner?" so I replied, "I'm making a casserole." His response was, "Yum. I'm looking forward to it." So I said, "How can you be looking forward to it? You don't even know what kind of casserole it is. It could be a turd casserole. Are you still looking forward to it?" I guess he knows me pretty well because he responded with, "Odds are it's some kind of Mexican casserole so I know I'll like it." So I told him it was called, "Nacho Bake." Everybody's a comedian so he replied with, "If it's not my bake then whose bake is it?" Hardy Har Har. And that's how you stay married for 20 years. Never a dull moment. And never a dull meal. Give this one a try. Even if no one cracks any "Nacho" jokes around the table, you are sure to crack some smiles at least!
