Fattening! But to give him his due, he's relearning too, and will cheerfully eat my more experimental efforts. Good luck! PS As he says of our fussiest cat, lock her in the shed for a few days, and she'll come out ready to eat anything! Perhaps if your husband took Triscuits (what are they, by the way??) and hummus to work now and then, he'd find dinner time more appealing?rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-57372710533820866782013-01-06T15:47:37.714-05:002013-01-06T15:47:37.714-05:00Like Rose ...

I like goat cheese and arugula and cilantro -- he doesn't. He wants hot meals at night -- I'd be happy with a sandwich most of the time.

I told him a while ago that when he cooked I felt guilty and he said, "I don't cook because <i>you haven't.</i> I cook because I want to." So he isn't . . . <i>churlish</i> about any of this.<br />I think, truly, that I could eat the same thing day after day and not be bored. Perhaps not.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-54539499269587779432013-01-05T23:06:24.172-05:002013-01-05T23:06:24.172-05:00Oh, you are singing my tune!

There's only so much I can pack that doesn't require heating and can stand the test of time in a cooler bag. He's not as tactful as your husband. I believe the word "barf" was used when he let me know he was tired of sandwiches.<br /><br />Same for dinners, apparently. He's tired of my choices - many of which have to be prepared early and be able to sit (like yours) or be made with little more than 30 minutes notice when he calls to let me know he's coming home. <br /><br />I've scoured my recipe books for inspiration and have bought new ones. He's also a moderately picky eater who doesn't like things like pesto or most cheeses. Makes it tricky.<br /><br />Okay...I've had my rant. Gawd, it feels good to know I'm not alone in this. <br /><br />P.S. If you want a truly delicious taste sensation, add smoked cheddar to your mac & cheese. Hmmm...yum.

If I made dinner, he wouldn't eat it. He likes to forage and come up with his own mini-meals. He won't eat sugar, white flour, processed food or red meat. He prefers to eat one meal of his own making in the middle of the day. It does give me a lot more free time in retirement, not having to plan and make meals, though I used to enjoy that. But his health-minded habits are starting to resonate a bit with me and I'm hoping 2014 will find me slimmer and much more fit.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-80223479125449543092013-01-05T18:18:05.657-05:002013-01-05T18:18:05.657-05:00Maybe I'll take a chance and cook some experim...Maybe I'll take a chance and cook some experimental dishes.<br />John MJohn Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185765129472832100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-18814959369432994892013-01-05T15:53:23.029-05:002013-01-05T15:53:23.029-05:00Oh June so much of your post had me in stitches, y...Oh June so much of your post had me in stitches, your opening line just cracked me up.<br />My tuppence worth is:<br />Thanks you I wondered what Triscuits was.<br />You haven't lived until you've tried peanut butter and chopped banana sandwiches (together on the sanga)<br />Yes! long live the wrap and all it can hold dear inside.<br />-whisper- if I were you I'd stick with the old stand-bys and let 'husband' experiment in the kitchen with 'something different'!!<br />I have an old friend whose husband has done ALL the cooking for the past 30+ years (because he LOVES it) and had the kitchen in their new home designed especially to his specifications!! <br />x<br />Rose ~ from Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908281749611280188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-76695887121475041442013-01-05T15:38:58.750-05:002013-01-05T15:38:58.750-05:00All I need to say is ditto!

Beans and hotdogs on Saturday nights was a law in New England until its repeal in the early '60's. I grew up with a mother who loved cookbooks and new recipes. I believe that the NYTimes magazine never printed a recipe that she did not at least try once.
