January 1

TLS and I went to Pilsen, Czech Republic for New Year. Pretty much everything was shut down (and I do mean EVERYTHING, including the cathedral so you couldn't even go inside of it!). In the evening, a few cafes and bars opened up. Very conveniently, the bar/restaurant across the street from our hotel was open, so we decided to go there for dinner and drinks. We had way too much fun there and somehow ended up ordering food and beer for 4 or 5 because everything sounded so good that we just had to try it!

One of the items on the menu was beer cheese. It sounded just interesting enough for us to get, so we ordered it. I took two bites and knew that it wasn't for me. I don't do soft cheeses at all. I passed the plate on to TLS and he seemed to enjoy it. After a couple of minutes, he said "you might like this soft cheese more, here try it" and speared a bit on his fork and gave it to me. I took one bite and nearly gagged. Then I said "TLS, this is butter!" That's right. He was eating butter with a fork off his plate thinking it was cheese.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with.

Just thinking about that day made me smile after a very aggravating evening.
