supper/dinner

[im4smiley]

It is my fault...spoiled him all these years and then I decide I love to ride my bicycle We very rarely have left overs, but I am working on that. Before we married 25 years ago, he could cook hamburgers and a can of corn! I have actually asked my daughter to come and visit and bring him dinner. You guys have some good ideas though. Thanks

Maybe you could sign up the two of you for a fancy cooking course (less likely to make him defensive than if you sign up just him). Once he learns, he can surprise you with a gourmet dinner when you get home.

You decide to have a life and then it's your fault! Puleeze!

The man is grown. If he can't cook, I'm sure he can order take-out. Open a can of soup. Or go hungry. His choice.

I mean, wouldn't it be nice if you came home from a great ride and there was dinner on the table for YOU?

Sorry, but no sympathy here AT ALL. I'm happily married for 16 years and have not run into this issue. We both like to cook.

In my house, I am the fussy eater. I don't want to eat the all fat, too much salt, who knows what that the BF will have lovingly waiting for me!!!! I set up the crock pot with stuff I like so it's ready when I am....oh yeah and he will eat it or make a sammie!!! I will not spoil, I will not spoil I will not spoil. Why? Becuase I'M THE PRINCESS IN NEED OF SPOILING, not him!

Three letters "B - B - Q"

I know that abbreviation drives some people nuts, but most men I've been around love fire and believe they're a natural at the grill. We have a Weber Wherever (or something like that -- it's the mini gas grill) and just keep some pieces of meat/meat substitutes, bread and baby carrots around and he's got a pretty well rounded meal.

As the non-cook in my family, it has really helped to have a few simple meals that I can deal with, such as rice with other stuff, eggs with other stuff, etc. When my SO has time-shifting hobby or work changes, I have to resort to getting out the pan that I've been allowed to use (talk about gear nuts - I'm not allowed to use the fancy Williams-Sonoma pans, which I find humorous.) I feel pretty good about being able to do this. Of course, cooking a larger quantity ahead of time with plenty of leftovers is a good solution, from my standpoint. We also have decent take-out in town.

Okay Bikeless - I have to ask - what is lutefisk? Sounds unique.

I'm lucky - I'm married to a Cajun. He's an awesome cook! When we know we're going to be busy, sometimes we'll make a casserole of something or other ahead of time. Leaves lots of leftovers, too. Try something like poppyseed chicken, chicken curry, lasagnes of different sorts, shepherd's pie. There's all sorts of choices. I like the crockpot/slow cooker option, too. Things cooked in a crockpot usually smell so yummy! We found a great recipe for Guiness beef stew. It is a beautiful thing!.

OK, that did it. I have to go check what's in the refrigerator.

Tsk tsk. You'll be sorry you asked.
