I'm back for real this time.

Again with the Associated Press thing. I've missed this blog for the past few months and finally decided there's no time like the present to return to it. Especially for a blog dedicated to the best of home-cooked food and sex, because today is all about both.

My husband is coming home after over a month away. He travels for work a lot, and whenever he comes home he gets whatever he wants to eat. This time he asked for a steak, and I'm really proud of the menu I've assembled. London broil has been marinating for five days in a mix of balsamic vinegar and A-1 with toasted sesame oil and various spices; tonight I'll spread it with a paste I made last night out of freshly roasted garlic and olive oil before I broil it to medium-rare. I'm also mashing sweet potatoes with hazelnut milk and toasted sesame oil, and a baby spinach salad with toasted hazelnuts and dried cranberries. Glass of shiraz will round it out - at least for me, he may want Jameson's on the rocks with his, whatever he wants.

For dessert I whipped up a maple pumpkin pie with a from-scratch whole wheat butter crust. The top cracked; I think I cooked it about five minutes longer than I should have, but it should still taste good. I also made maple whipped cream to go on top, and I have a lovely chilled 1997 port to enjoy with dessert. I think for dessert we should make a fire in the fireplace and kick back in our jammies. I have a new long satin black nightgown with a matching robe and it makes me feel like Rita Hayworth.

I think after dessert we'll break out a Lush massage bar and see where that goes.

Before dinner though, there's a bit of catching up to do. I sense BDSM in my immediate future. He's taking a very Dominant role of late, which I love since I tend toward the very submissive in my relationships with him. I used to be a professional Dominatrix myself but I feel so much more content in the submissive role with my husband. And I can tell I'm definitely in for some punishment. Hopefully the promise of dinner will keep it from being too bad.
