Love does go through the stomach. My husband convinced me he was THE ONE the first time he cooked orange chicken. He had me at “Taste this!”

I recall learning from our mutual friend with the initials of AL who never cooked for her and hubby that she actually could cook, but “shhhh, don’t tell him that,” she said!!! She hid that little fact for many, many years! I think she admitted it to him after they divorce

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Now, if I can just nail Husband down…

Oh girlfriend, I feel your pain. Sunday is Food Gathering day at our house. I’m too tired any other day so it’s gotta be Sunday. First I insist on making the week’s menu. I literally write out the days of the week AND LET HIM PICK WHICH DAYS HE COOKS AND WHAT HE’S COOKING. He can choose “takeout” or “eat out” on his days but he’s still in charge of making it all happen. The grocery list gets built from that and then we shop together, since we both hate it with a passion. It’s not fun but it’s WAY better than the alternative, which is to have no way to pull together a meal by Wednesday.

Now you’re talking! I have had people suggest I just stop cooking altogether and not worry about it. But, people underestimate Husband’s tolerance for just eating cereal. How is he going to live to 100 with me if he does that?
