Having been married for 25 years to someone whose idea of cooking a meal was to nuke instant rice and a can of beef stew and mix together, I have come to appreciate a man who can cook. Is there a way that your hubby could start some prelims (water for pasta boiling, salad made, etc.) so that the 2 or you can finish the meal prep when you get home... that way he's responsible for some of the meal, and you can eat together?
