While my husband, Felipe, and I were dating, he moved across the state to open a wine store. For 2 years, we were long distance and every other Friday after work I would fly in for a visit. Since he was opening a new business and didn’t have any employees, our weekends consisted of hanging out in the wine store. Banish any glamorous, romantic visions you’ve conjured up in your mind and instead imagine countless Saturdays and Sundays working the cashier register, moving boxes, and dusting bottles. Two years later, Felipe proposed to me after an amazing day hiking the ruins in Belize and promised me that if I said yes, he’d turn Sundays back into Fundays. True to his word, Sundays are still our special day. We typically spend the morning doing something active and then head home to relax, him watching football and me playing in the kitchen. Felipe always requests this crab and avocado dip for our Sunday afternoons; it is a great snack throughout the day as we hang out and, most importantly it keeps him from rooting around the kitchen and out of my way. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. —melissav
