While we were at Target, Stephen and I intended to just grab something for lunch since it was already nearly 2pm... Well, Stephen had other ideas. I knew as soon as I saw the wheels in his head turning just as we were about to head to the checkout.
I'll let him tell you about the delicious lunch he made.
As Jesse said, we were at Target and decided to grab something easy to eat for lunch. Well I couldn't find anything that I wanted to waste my calories on since most things in the ready made deli section were all about 600+ calories and all the frozen items didn't look appealing. So Jesse walks back towards me holding a serving of sushi for her and asked what I picked up for my lunch. I said, "I'm not sure nothing looks real good, but I think......" and basically the wheels started turning from there. Of course Jesse says, "Oh boy, your wheels are turning and theres no telling what you're thinking." So I start to pick up ingredients and she finally asks what I'm makings and my response, "BBQ Turkey Cheeseburgers with Jalapeños and Onions. Jesse quickly puts the sushi back on the shelf and says she'll eat my version of lunch.
