Next week my wife and I will be celebrating 13 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!   And in the ongoing effort to “keep that romantic spark alive,” we decided to come up with some fresh variations of the classic phrase, “What’s Cookin’, Good-lookin’?” Maybe this list will also inspire other married couples, so here we go!

• What’s On Tap, Thirst Trap?
• What’s In the Oven, One I’m Lovin’?
• What’s in the Food Processor, Romance Professor?
• What’s in the Mixer, Broken Heart Fixer?
  • Closely related is “What’s in the Blender, Broken Heart Mender?”  The availability of your kitchen appliances may dictate which phrase you use in this case.
• What’s in the Toaster, So Beautiful You Could Be On a Poster?
• What’s on the Traeger, Opposite of Brownbagger?
• What’s in the Boiling Pot, Spouse That Is Royally Hot?
  • This one is particularly spicy, because your lips make an obligatory kissing shape when enunciating the “oi” or “oy” sound.  Va va voom!
• What’s in the Microwave, Psycho Babe?
  • On second thought, I could see how this last one might backfire.  The obvious meaning is that the couple is “crazy about one another,” but I think that the risk of being banned from the kitchen forever might not be worth it. 

So anyway, hopefully this was helpful!  But I think the Key Takeaway from this exercise is summed up by this quote from J.D. Salinger:

“Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.”
