Had to eat too much of that crap growing up - never got a taste for it.
Garlic, lemon shrimp w/ fresh okra over rice.
Worked great tonight.

Looks like we all cooked yesterday. I made some birria (in the taco, under the jack cheese), some red rice and charro beans

My husband to me today:
So anyways, I'm on hour 10 simmering bones and aromatics for the broth going into my made entirely from scratch chicken and noodles dish today.
We're having a bit of an argument. We agreed when we got married that he'd wash the big dishes that don't fit in the dish washer and anything else that can't go in (the fancy chef knives he got me for Xmas, the food processor bowl, etc). I get to handle everything else, cleaning the stove, counters, microwave, loading and unloading the dish washer, planning meals, shopping for ingredients, prepping and making meals.
I'd made a chicken dish that I threw together with tomatoes from the garden, fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola, fresh basil and whipped up an aceto balsamico glaze to drizzle. He eats it, raves with glowing review, and then laid into me immediately about the bowls and large items in the sink.
He says I should cook simpler meals. That I do too much and make too big a mess and it's not fair anymore, because when we got married, I had no cooking skill (I was a tomboy catching snakes and bugs as a wee lass, no time for domestic nonsense). I spent 14 years becoming a very very good cook. I think my food is so good, rarely do either of us pine for take away.
However this has me a bit miffed. I kind of want to make him ramen, ez Mac manwiches for a month and see if he still feels the same.

That will get his attention.
Fix simple meals as requested, he will notice quickly.
Be prepared for the special request, "Why don't you fix X"

This is the kind of man that would put his mattress directly on the floor. Use cardboard boxes for end tables. Thrift beanbags for living room furniture. As long as his computer has two great big monitors, a fast internet connection, the building has adequate heat and clean water he is happy. Before he met me he lived on cold cut scraps from the deli and gas station crackers. He would probably go back to eating that way with no complaints.

That’s so funny, my wife would eat potato chips for every meal if I didn’t cook and do the dishes. I like to eat and I’m fickle but she will eat whatever I fix except wild game or fresh fish if I show it to her live . The trick is to lie about buying it and just tell her hell yeah it’s full of preservatives, enjoy.
