    this. is. FABULOUS!

  • Avatar Essie says:

    Dude, you should post the blank PDF of this so I can use it for my husband! Please?

  • jess says:

    This is the best thing I have ever seen.
    Happy Valentine’s Day.

  • Avatar Caroline says:

    hilarious! thanks for sharing your recipes! xo

  • Avatar Liesel says:

    About 85% of this (including the filled in parts) I could totally copy as is. Replace the Donna Karan body suit with a black leather motorcycle jacket and the dog with two cats who barf a lot and destroy the furniture and voila…Oh and scratch the organized pantry

  • Avatar kate says:

    this made my V day! LOVE love love it! You guys are as sweet as apple pie 😉

  • Avatar Amanda says:

    this is lovely & hysterical 🙂

    and not to be creepy or weird, but i’m definitely re-posting!

  • Avatar Jessica says:

    Brilliant. Love this!

  • Jan @ Family Bites says:

    So funny. I love the “bro” in Andy’s letter.

  • Avatar Kathy says:

    I love Andy’s edit at the end. Hilarious!

  • Avatar mek says:

    I love this. I laughed so hard, my four year old made me read it out loud to her. She laughed too, though not always in the same places. 🙂

  • Erin says:

    Love this! You’re perfectly captured the day-to-day life and romance of marriage 🙂

  • Avatar Elise says:

    Love it! This is getting copied and sent to my dear dh who I know plans to grab the last batch of mixed flowers from Penn Station on his way home tonight. But he did cook me a meal last night… so all is not lost. But love letters never get old and this is one incredibly smart ode.

  • Avatar Caroline C says:

    This made my morning! You both never fail to crack me up. I especially enjoyed your line about convincing your husband to write mad lib love letters in the name of your “career”! That had me laughing out loud.
    Happy Valentine’s Day to both of you!

  • Avatar matt says:

    i can never take this day seriously. thanks for confirming that with happy valentine’s day BRO. my thoughts exactly.
    thank you, i dug this post.

  • Avatar City Share says:

    I second the comment that said you should offer a PDF of this. It’s great. Happy Valentine’s Day to you.

  • Avatar Stephanie says:

    This is hysterical! Reads like an ad for why marriage is so awesome!

  • Avatar Mary says:

    awesome, hilarious and human all at once.

  • Avatar Carolyn says:

    That is so funny! My second fave – coming in behind the one with the legalese surrounding lunches and who packs ’em. ( :
    PLEASE will you put a .pdf online for me to print for Dave? xoxo

  • Avatar Carolyn says:

    Oh! I forgot to mention due to tears of laughter that I made the “salmon when you are sick of salmon” recipe. A huge hit. Even Nate gave it an 8! Yippee!

  • Avatar Brooke Reynolds says:

    PDF, please!! I’ve only got a few hours left and this is way better than the card I had planned!

  • Avatar Vicki says:

    As much as I love your cooking posts, it is your family posts I always love the most. This is so cute and funny. My husband and I are not as creative, but I will be very happy when he perfectly grills the rack of lamb I bought for dinner tonight.

    BTW Jenny- I had a maternity body suit with leggings attached that I wore daily until one of my sisters finally had the nerve to tell me how bad it looked! Have the scary pictures to prove it!

  • Avatar Autumn says:

    Hubs and I write each other a love letter every year on Valentine’s day but I LOVE this. Keeping for future inspiration.

  • Avatar Torrey says:

    I knew I loved you (not in a creepy way) when I read your post about how you obsessively counted the ounces of breast milk in your freezer–this has cemented it. A blog about marriage and raising kids (oh, yeah, and cooking) that actually makes me feel both inspired and relaxed instead of inadequate and overwhelmed. Thanks so much and happy Valentine’s Day–here’s to unwrapping a copper pot at the Breslin next year–or maybe not.
