Mr P has just complained about his dinner, who's right, him or me?

All sounds perfectly balanced to me, I always do more choice of veg on Sundays than I probably would for a weekday meal.

Well it sounds wonderful to me! I don't think you can have too much veg and you've just reminded me of how long it's been since I had bami goreng yum.

Surely it's just a matter of opinion - neither of you is 'right' or 'wrong'...

I think he is a nit picker !!

If that is the normal menu for a weekend and Mr.P is not too happy, I am more than willing to pop down each weekend with Tara. I think from memory you have cats so that may be a slight problem. I am good at washing up.

I am sure he gets no fruit or vegetables during the week so he is eating healthily at weekends. He is lucky and should be counting his blessings. Amazing that his plate was empty but he had been given too much food!

Oh! I would prepare enough of whatever you fancy veg wise and just do frozen peas for Mr P net weekend He'll get the message!

I just did a recipe which included roast avocado..I won't be doing that again

What's your address, phoenix?

Yes, I suppose no one is right or wrong Ana, but what makes it even more is the fact that once everything is ready, meat rested, veg drained etc, it's actually HIM that dishes up!

I got fed up with my DH being a fussy eater so I stopped cooking for him. He has to sort himself out for 90% of his meals. (He does eat quite a lot of tins of soup but that's his choice!)

How would Mr P feel about that?

We will all come next weekend Phoenix! We will appreciate it all!!

Sounds just abut perfect to me

I'm another Gransnetter who's inviting themself to dinner, Phoenix.

Maybe remind your dh that we're all supposed to eat Five a Day. Dh and I tried the recent recommendation of ten a day and that was a bit much, even though we like our veggies!

Thanks all!

Mr P isn't really fussy, apart from not liking carrots, or parsnips, sprouts, trifle, cake, mince pies, Christmas pudding............!

Generally he's very appreciative of what I cook, and when he isn't away happily does some of the cooking, but he did have the nerve to complain/pass comment/moan about today's offering!

Perhaps he just doesn't want you doing too much? Sounded lovely to me, I'll be round next weekend

I love a good mixture of vegetables, half my plate is always just veggies. As I live alone I buy the pre chopped fresh mixed vegetables from Sainsburys, more expensive but at least I don't end up throwing anything away. Next week try him with beans on toast, I guarantee he won't complain again!

My DH does the cooking and he does about the same variety of veg so it seems normal to me. Love your chicken parcels - have passed it on as a suggestion.

All sounds good to me Phoenix. My husband wouldn't date....more than his life's worth

I love your version of a healthy meal Phoenix chicken, bacon, sausage, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese. Tel me you have sticky toffee pudding and custard for desert and I'll be over like a shot.......with DH following behind as fast as he can.

We have 3 ½ oz plain chicken (no skin), one small boiled potatofor me and 2 for DH, some cauliflower (no cheese) a couple of carrots and for pudding a handful of grapes and a pear. I know whose house I'd rather eat in ...can we come over next weekend please

dare not date, yeah that would be more than his life's worth too

Yes, mine does the cooking too, NfkDumpling, and I feel very lucky (it's something he's only taken up since he retired, so we've reversed roles in this respect). With that in mind, I have to say that I never, ever, complain about anything he dishes up, and I thank him profusely after every meal. He's a good cook and I'm not rocking the boat! Your menu sounds just fine. to all the cooks!

How very dare he complain!
MrA worked away for 5 years and the weekends were actually quite difficult!

Was he just hinting that he is not a great fan of mashed swede? In which case his name might be legion, for we are many.
