  • 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 Valentineโ€™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 voilaโ€ฆOh 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Avatar Amanda says:

    this is lovely & hysterical ๐Ÿ™‚

    and not to be creepy or weird, but iโ€™m definitely re-posting!

  • Avatar Jessica says:

    Brilliant. Love this!

  • Jan @ Family Bites says:

    So funny. I love the โ€œbroโ€ in Andyโ€™s letter.

  • Avatar Kathy says:

    I love Andyโ€™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. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Erin says:

    Love this! Youโ€™re perfectly captured the day-to-day life and romance of marriage ๐Ÿ™‚

  • 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 nightโ€ฆ 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 โ€œcareerโ€! That had me laughing out loud.
    Happy Valentineโ€™s Day to both of you!

  • Avatar matt says:

    i can never take this day seriously. thanks for confirming that with happy valentineโ€™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. Itโ€™s great. Happy Valentineโ€™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 โ€“ coming in behind the one with the legalese surrounding lunches and who packs โ€™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 โ€œsalmon when you are sick of salmonโ€ recipe. A huge hit. Even Nate gave it an 8! Yippee!

  • Avatar Brooke Reynolds says:

    PDF, please!! Iโ€™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 Valentineโ€™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 freezerโ€“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 Valentineโ€™s Dayโ€“hereโ€™s to unwrapping a copper pot at the Breslin next yearโ€“or maybe not.
