And we have official reached Month 9! Which means I’m tired. Like, all the time. So we decided to have a little fun with this month’s Dinner at 1800…
Today we will be cooking from the American Housewife (I think?) And by we, I do mean I. And who am I? I am the dearly beloved husband of your regular columnist. That’s right, today, this article is brought to you by me, a true gem, a dear, a man’s man, a loving and caring husband. But I digress.

This book has recipes that were commonly used back before we had normal food like pizza, tacos, and burgers. What was more, they didn’t have these things called ovens, at least not as I see it (a giant iron thing holding fire and you hoping it was hot enough to cook your food is quite uncivilized and NOT an oven). But my dear wife is due in just a few short weeks (panic, panic would be an accurate, but understated, descriptor for my current emotional state), and she just could not do another one of these videos. Her poor feet hurt. Her back hurt. Her arms were tired from making my breakfast. She was just too tired.
And thus, a hero was born.
No, not my son. So, who might this hero be? This calm gentleman of fortitude and foresight? Who saw the crisis at hand, stepped up, and seized this opportunity to be awesome?
I. AM. THAT. HERO.
To get the full effect of this statement, please say (or sing) it in the same way as the LarryBoy Theme Song.
Now that we have been introduced, we shall move on to the recipe. After staring at this book for what seemed like forever, I decided to move forward, even if I wasn’t 100% sure what I was doing. So, I tried gathering the ingredients. This did not go well as I got confused, and ended up in front of the alcohol cabinet. Since I was there anyways, I decided to pour myself something to drink before getting back to work.
After my drink was ready and sampled, I went back to my book with this recipe, and was told to find a spider. At this point, I decided that I was not cooking with spiders, and I would have to do something else for today’s episode.

And that’s when it came to me. I am a man. Most men cannot cook, but almost all men can make breakfast, and I am happy to report I am one of those men!
I had already wasted a great deal of time, and my drink was getting warm, so I decided to make Cup of Noodles. But not just any Cup of Noodles. Breakfast Flavored Cup Of Noodles.
Cooking this was very hard, as I had to put just the right amount of water into the cup, and then put it in the microwave. Finally, I had to cook it for 4 minutes, which was awesome as it allowed me to relax and collect my “thoughts.”
Somehow, during this ordeal, my dear wife fell asleep. How, I truly do not know. I wanted her to eat this while it was still hot. So I quickly woke her up and presented her with the most awesome breakfast ever.
My very pregnant wife looked very skeptically at me before agreeing to take a bite.
And if you want to know her full reaction, you’ll have to watch the video…!!! (Psst, right here on Instagram.)
