no preservatives!

My Hubby is really sweet and thoughtful. For Valentine's Day he got me the usual bouquet of beautiful long-stemmed red roses delivered to my work and a funny card. I ended up staying home sick and went to work towards the end of the day to get my flowers. When he came home after work, he surprised me with Annie's Organic Ketchup! I was really touched and let me tell you why.

I absolutely love ketchup and eat it almost daily with breakfast. I don't eat a lot of it but I eat it often. For Lent I've given up preservatives...just trying to get all the junk food out and try to be purposeful about what I eat. For Ash Wednesday we had cornmeal-breaded cod for dinner. Now Hubby had introduced me to spicy ketchup - which is ketchup with sriracha in it and it's great with breaded fish. That night I couldn't have any. Hubby later told me he couldn't imagine how I would live a month without ketchup! So the next day he did some research about preservative-free ketchup and found me Annie's! I was so blessed by his gesture.

I did find a great beer for him that he hasn't had yet. Being the craft brew connoisseur that he is, it is becoming harder and harder to surprise him with one. Also got him some fancy dark chocolate with hickory smoked bacon:-) A great Valentine's Day for both of us.
