DH keeps offering to do 'one of his specials - scary prospect!!

DH always cooks the stir fry. He nearly always serves up and is willing to cook if I am ill. HOWEVER he is so slow which irritates me, but I know I am lucky to have him.

He often prepares all the veg to go with a roast because he is not keen on the ready prepared veg I am happy to use.

If he goes away for a day or two I virtually give up on cooking and live on egg on toast or a microwaveable meal. The words bone idle come to mind ?

Mr C has many fine traits, sadly cooking is not one. I’ve tried, how I’ve tried sadly the closest to cooking he gets is cheese on toast. So now I don’t cook a full meal if I don’t feel like it. Mutterings are dealt with by a smiling reminder where the cookery books are.

DH always cooks breakfast when we have it. He also cooks dinner but not as often as 2-3 times a week. Although he would if I was unwell.

hmm

DH does cook occasionally and volunteered to make a meal this week grin
He used to make a great nasi goreng but that seems to be left to me and a jar of Tesco nasi goreng sauce these days!

Generally, he does help a bit which means peeling and chopping veg.
And he can do a fry-up which I don't eat anyway.

DS is a great cook (better than me).

Whenever we watch an Escape To The Country the husband always seems to be saying that he is the main cook, and needs a big kitchen to bash the pots and pans around.
My DH cooks once a week usually, and even that seems to be unusual amongst my friends, who’s DH’s never do more than prepare a sarnie.Do yours regularly take over the kitchen and make several meals a week? Lucky you, if so.envy
