Instructions for my Husband: Asian Food Does Not Include Indian Food

I know that technically India is considered part of Asia, but for food ordering purposes if I say, "I feel like Asian," you can not always say you want Swagat and then act surprised when I'm like "I don't feel like Indian."

Asian means Chinese, Japanese, Thai and even... Malaysian. There may even be some other exceptions if anyone wants to suggest other Asian places I've left off my list. Oh, like Vietnamese. If I feel like Asian, I probably feel like Vietnamese. But there aren't any good Vietnamese places that deliver since Saigon Grill doesn't any more 'cause of the whole controversy, and Monsoon closed.

What say you? Does Asian food include Indian food? Or shouldn't a husband know what a wife means regardless of the words she's saying?

This is my ninth post in my ongoing series of Instructions for My Husband.

Easter Crafts - Make Geode and Decoupage Eggs, Marshmallow Bunnies and Handprint Art Ideas, Too

I've been looking around online for the last few days for handprint crafts for Easter, because I feel an obligation to provide handprint crafts for the fifty-percent of my traffic (I'm totally serious) that comes here from a Google search of some variation on "handprint crafts."

But my search for handprinted bunnies and eggs? Eh, not so great. So instead, I offer these fun craft ideas for Easter:

Geode Easter Eggs. I love these. I was totally going to make these with my kids, but to be honest, it seems a little difficult so I will put them on my "to do next year" list. But they sound sooo cool and they look amazing:

Decoupage Easter Eggs. These eggs are gorgeous, and I personally love any opportunity to Mod Podge - and I'm not even kidding.  Anything the kids want to do - save spring flowers, press fall leaves, protect prized art work from their little brother, my answer is always "OK, let's do it. We'll Mod Podge it!"

Best about the Decoupage Easter Egg project, the directions are very easy to follow and show exactly how to go from this:

I also saw some fantastic eggs decoupaged with postage stamps, which I should definitely make because I had a buying-postage-stamps-from-eBay habit for awhile there, and now I find those little wax envelopes filled with stamps all over the house and know I need to find a use for them.

And last, Cute Food For Kids has super-adorable Marshmallow Bunnies, and clear, detailed directions, too.

Happy Easter!
