I thought some of you might like this….

No good at downloading videos, but I have a brilliant one showing a conversation between a woman and her partner:
Him: what's for dinner?
Her: nothing
Him: we had that yesterday
Her: I know, I made enough for 2 days....

I keep meaning to cook double portions and freeze half - the days when I just have to heat something up are blissful and so productive because I can get on with other projects. But very often I forget, or I cook twice as much and it all gets eaten first time round, and now in the summer it's mainly salads which you can't freeze.

DH doesn't like eating the same thing twice in a row.

Went on holiday for a week with a male friend whose boyfriend was out of the country on business. He was used to providing a cooked meal every evening and I had no input. It was peculiar not having any idea or choice of evening meal.

Sorry to go against the grain but I love to cook for my DH. I grant you not every day in the week
but especially love a roast Sunday lunch, usually eaten in the evening with a large glass of vino. One of life's pleasures, food and wine.

One of my mum's neighbours once asked her husband what he wanted for his tea He said "Just some toast and 2 or3 baked beans". She gave him the benefit of the doubt and gave him 3!

How often would we all like to do that .??

Perfect.

I know how lucky I am that I haven’t had to cook or food shop for about 20 years.
My OH likes doing it, I don’t.

I often make a meal that's enough for three (there's just two of us), then I ask OH if he's happy to have it a second day, he know if he asks what else is there, I'll just say "nothing". I'm happy with cheese, fruit and crispbreads.

I gave my daughter this birthday card last week, she’s doing Slimming World.

Love that card! I sent it to someone a while ago.

On Sunday I cba to faff around with cooking. So we had an ‘iffits’ dinner.

If it’s there you can have it!

Cheese and crackers on a paper plate, with some grapes and sliced apple.

Best Sunday dinner for a long time. Tasty… No cooking. No mess. No washing up!

Luvverly!

It just all gets sooooo boring. I mean I really just cba sometimes and that goes for eating too so why do we have to be worried about everyone else too!

My kinda gal! Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Bought for my DiL. She has already perfected "the face".😁

My kind of girl Gala!

I know exactly how she feels. Me too luck girl! I am fed up of thinking what to cook and then cooking it!

I do understand that. Sometimes I look back and think that I produced 3 meals a day for 5 people over decades - how the hell did I do that? I now eat the same few meals on a cycle as I am all cooked out.

Love it, Gala!

On a similar note.....

Yep, me too

Totally get this! We are having a week of family time, including the far flung contingent, totalling 15: endless catering, dishwasher, table laying and clearing..
It's wonderful, but when they all go I will enjoy a recovery week of bread and cheese, possibly eaten from the bread board to save on plates.

I feel like this everyday. I would just be happy with cheese and crackers every night for dinner.

Love it!
I gave up peeling potatoes years ago. One Christmas, I spent hours peeling them, no one notices the naked roasties! Never did it again. 😂
