Top ten reasons I’ve been married for 27 years:
Tall enough to change any lightbulb
Cleans up real good
Beloved by his father-in-law
Likes kids and dogs
Raises money for breast cancer
Good at sports
Comfortable with tools and heavy equipment
When sent to the jeweler’s to pick up a repair, he comes home with a bonus:
Oh, yeah, and he cooks, too:
Recipe: “Tonno al aglio”
Combine one can of good-quality tuna with 3 Tablespoons olive oil, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, 2 Tablespoons capers and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve on endive leaves, garnished with roasted red pepper. Even better if you serve it on Italian pottery.

Susan, you are a lucky girl.
And since I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jay I can attest to how tall he is (very) and how sweet. He is a complete gentleman, a trait I believe never wears thin on a woman, no matter what generation we’re in.
Happy Anniversary again.

I’m all for the cooking thing. There’s some list of things that keep a marriage together and one of the top 3 was splitting of household chores. I guess this was the first year that kids dropped off the top 5. I forget the others, but I definitely agree it helps that a lot of the household chores and cooking falls to the husband.
That dish looks great (and easy!). I have odd issues with capers that have nothing to do with how they taste, but I may have to try it. I love things served on endive. So pretty and tasty.
