Or he could do like my dh does. When I'm away he makes something he can never have when I'm home because I can't stand it ... lutefisk with mushy peas, bacon, and potatoes. The lutefisk and peas can, I gather, be heated in a microwave (though I can't swear to it since I'm never in the kitchen that day or for several days following).

As a corollary, when he's away I make things we never have when he's home because he can't stand them ... like liver with onions and lemon juice.
