Here’s to ten years together, Sexy Beast. I’d do it all over again.
Well, okay, I might not have dawdled so long that your pants got ruined by the surf, but other than that, everything’s just dreamy.
So I propose a toast: to ten years, three kids, two houses, many, many dead Betta fishes and lots of laughs. I wouldn’t have wanted to navigate this crazy highway with anyone but you.
Limoncello-Gin Cocktail with Grilled Thyme
from Fine Cooking
serves 1
2 large sprigs of fresh thyme, more for garnish
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) gin, preferably Bluecoat American Dry
1 tablespoon limoncello, preferably Averna Limoni di Sicilia
Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. Grill the thyme sprigs until fragrant and lightly charred, about 15 seconds. In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the grilled thyme with the lime juice. Add the gin and the limoncello and fill the shaker with ice. Stir well. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice, garnish with thyme, and serve.

Happy anniversary!
(Is he wearing shoes?? LOL)
Congrats! I’ll toast to that! What a yummy way to celebrate. :) Grilled Thyme sounds delicious.
Happy 10 years, TKW! (I didn’t even notice that he had shoes on.:)
PS: When the page loaded my 2YO pointed at you and said, “That you, Mama?” I only wish I looked that good in a dress!
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Happy 10 years to you!!!! My 10th is this year as well.
I’ll be honest – the first thing I thought of was his poor shoes!
Congrats on 10 years and really? No wonder he was/is into you….look at them legs girl!!
OH! Happy Anniversary…Cheers!!!
Happy Anniversary you two!!!
Happy Anniversary!!! What a beautiful pic!
(And I must say, I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt bad for his shoes. I’m so unromantic, sigh…)
Happy Anniv! Love the pic and giggled about his shoes. Heh. He’s Indian. Can’t really blame him! ;-D
Aw! Happy decade!
Happy! Happy! Happy! Ten years is not small potatoes. Congrats to you both. (And what a beautiful photo!)
Happy Anniversary!!! :) That picture is gorgeous!
What a sweet post. Congrats on your anniversary. What a lovely picture of the two of you. :)
Congratulations you two! I’m jealous that you both look as good now as you did 10 years ago! How did you manage that? Here’s to another 10 happy years.
P.S. Grilled thyme? Please tell me you used a grill grid or some other device? Or else how the heck did you keep it from instantly falling through the cracks? Your man’s got mad grilling skills if he can grill thyme. =)
Phoo-d–we used a grid! :)
Happy anniversary! Wow – 10 years is amazing. And that picture? Man you’re BOTH sexy beasts – even a picture of your backs can’t hide that. You totally rocked that dress.
Happy Day!! I love that picture.
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations on your tenth anniversary! What a gorgeous photo. I hope it is framed prominently in your house.
Dyawwww.
Very cute, you two.
I’m pleased to see that (at least in the picture) your man is more interested in you than the rising tide.
Happy anniversary!!! Congrats on ten years!
Happy, happy anniversary to you and your mister. Hope you have many, many more happy anniversaries together.
Happy anniversary…cheers! (raising my glass, currently unalcoholic as it is still early) Lovely picture!
Congratulations!!! I don’t think anyone could ask for more than what y’all have got.
HE’s a handsome fella! Romantic picture, too. Happy anniversary!
What a beautiful photo. Love the dress. You are so pretty.
Happy Anniversary.
Its the sportsman and I, anniversary today also. 9 years!
Congrats! What a beautiful shot, and I love that he’s just gazing at you and not noticing that his feet are being engulfed in the surf. Now THAT is love! ;)
Great picture! And as a few people have noted…he was so in love he didn’t realize that he was standing in the surf with his shoes on. Happy 10 years!!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to get to 10 years myself . . . we’re still at 5. Love the picture–your expressions are beautiful! (and I love your dress and would wear it in a second =)
CONGRATULATIONS! You two are a great looking couple and seem to have a wonderful family and life together. All my best to you!
A grilled drink!?! you are my hero!
Happy anniversary, sweetheart! What an absolutely handsome couple you make. Congratulations on ten, and here is to many many more. xoxo
How hot is your hubs??? Great dress and great pic. You guys are rockin. Congrats.
Congratulations, Kitch, for every year. May the ones to come be ever sweeter — er, well, perhaps I should have you fill in your flavoring of choice since you’re not a dessert kind of girl. “Saltier” just didn’t sound like a nice thing for *me* to say in this context ;).
Congratulations on 10 years! Much happiness to you both!
Happy Anniversary! Didn’t ten years just fly by? What a sweet photo (and I’m not mentioning the shoes)
Cheers!
You two lovebirds are beautiful. *cheers*
Happy anniversary! Hope you had a wonderful time knocking back that grilled drink and reminiscing of when life was easier, but definitely less colorful…Wishing you a continued lifetime of happiness…
Congratulations on: the ten years; the red dress; the lovely photo; and picking the right person the first time around.
Happy Anniversary – I love the photo although my immediate thought was “why does he have his shoes on, they are going to be ruined!”
Happy Anniversary!
Awww! I love, love, love this picture! So sweet. Happy, happy anniversary!
Such a simple and sweet post :) Happy anniversary! That cocktail seems like a perfect aid in celebration!
I gotta be honest… The pants and the shoes in the surf were the first things that caught my eye! Then I zoomed out on a beautiful picture of two people in love:)
Happy 10th to you both. May you live, laugh and love through many, many more!
Hey KW, Happy Happy anniversary—and as synchronicity would have it, today is the very day of mine and Andy’s anniversary as well, ten years ahead of you on the trail.
Here’s to love and Limoncello
Sounds like the perfect drink to celebrate your anniversary. Congrats!
Congrats on 10 years!
Congratulations to you two!! Such a romantic picture. Love it.
Three cheers!
Congrats, sweetness. That photo of you is a gem, baby.
Happy 10 years. Here’s to many, many more happy ones. :)
