Do you still surprise yourself?

We like to think we do.

The other weekend, we were working in the garage (read: standing around, mentally organizing our garage thinking about the effing 26 boxes of Christmas decorations we need to find, while checking Instagram and Pinterest every five seconds). We were also trying to help Mr. B work on the Adirondack chairs. Yes, it’s November, but hey, we feel as though we are getting a head start on the summer of 2015. #goteamgrier

Anyways, we were measuring lengths to make correct board cuts. Mr. B stood on one end of the board and we the other. We dragged the measuring tape to the edge, 48 inches, as we discussed earlier. Simple enough.

Then, “Babe, can you measure out 48 inches and 3/4”, asked Mr. B. We immediately froze. That wasn’t part of the plan. What the eff is 3/4? We fell asleep that day in math class!! We started to hyperventilate because we knew in the next 2.56798 seconds we would reveal to our engineer husband that we couldn’t measure. Gulp.

But! Somewhere between almost peeing our pants and falling over into a table saw, we dug deep into our long term memory and remembered building a bookcase with our dad as a kid. We remember our dad measuring out inches, quarters, centimeters and thinking this will be of no use to us in the future! Well, thank goodness for a photographic memory because we breathed deep, held our pee, and marked 48 inches and 3/4 on the effing board. It was the one of the more memorable moments of our math life.

Anywho, what does this have to do with spanakopita, not a darn tooting thing. Other than, we did surprise myself with the fact that phyllo is that crazy hard to work with. In this dish, we wrangled up all the Thanksgiving suspects, tossed them into a skillet, topped with buttery crumpled phyllo sheets and baked it into a golden bliss.

So, how have you surprised yourself lately?
