Oh man I missed this thread, I'm an expert at this topic.
They both don't like the same foods, so dinner time is realy rough time, in turn causing a void in the marriage.
It's all about food. I know, believe me, I feel it, and I let it show in my songs.
All the problems in the world are food, it starts back in ancient times, it's always about food. Wah, I want water, Wah I want bread. Now it's wah I want Pollo En Mole Verde or Bistecca alla Fiorentina
The way to a man's heart is through his stomach ladies. Remember this... LOL!
I've planned in advance...while 'tis true I myself and of the VEGAN sort, I am totally flexable* and have no intention of imposing my dietary practices on my better half =P
*I'll cook it 4 him but, I won't eat the MEAT ;)
I wonder how many other sisters are like this. I've tended to shy away from vegetarian (and especially vegan) sisters for just that reason.
I think we need to take a poll on this: How many of you sisters out there would cook something for your husband/boyfriend that you personally would not eat? Maybe even something you find repugnant?
Haha - not me! I buy Donovan some foods that he likes that I think are disgusting, like potato bread. But he eats better with me making culinary choices for him. If given the choice, would you want a sandwich or lamb stew for lunch?
I guess it would depend on the sandwich...
what exactly IS patato bread anyway?
It's one of the most wonderful inventions known to man. It's bread made from potatoes.
Haha just had this mental image come to mind... after darth potato slices up storm trooper potato... he makes a sandwich. :-)
Your sense of humor is so refreshing,LOL!
I have Darth Tater...really need to buy Spud Trooper.
Lamb stew. I'm totally willing to let a girl decide what I eat, and I'm sure I'd eat much better that way, but I don't want someone trying to force vegetarianism on me.
I agree. Whenever someone asks me what I want to eat I get kind of annoyed. With most of my friends I tend to make the decisions, but when it comes to eating out I always delegate. I don't care what I eat. I'm like a garbage disposal. I'll eat anything. If I ever get married I'll certainly look forward to the missus surprising me and making me whatever she feels like making.
it is so nice having a wife that loves to make food for you :)
i always enjoy the surprise too of opening my lunch bag at work.
that's awesome. does she include lil notes?
wow, your wife makes you lunch too? i tried that for austin for awhile, but i can never think of what to make, so instead of eating a sandwhich everyday, i think he's happier going out to eat lunch.
yeah, she always makes me lunch. it's SOO much cheaper. that's the main thing, really. plus, she tells me that she loves making lunch for me. i guess she's just too in love. awwww
favorite thing: she puts the lettuce in a separate baggie so my sandwich doesn't get soggy. \m/
Awww SHUT UP w/ that, sooo sweet.
I'm the same way. Unfortunately, because so many of my friends are married, unless I take the lead in suggesting places to go after the meetings or after service we all just end up going home which kinda stinks for me.
Lamb stew would obviously be my choice for eating. No idea what to think of Potato bread, never heard of the idea, and subsequently never had it. Altho, I wouldn't object to having rarebit. That's a bread-dish.
i hate meatballs but i sometimes make them for chris, because i'll pretty much do anything for him, :)
it's been a while actually, hey chris do you want meatballs?
I've cooked andrew stuff he likes that I don't. Also having food restrictions sometimes I cook him stuff with regular ingredients and then cook for me with special ingredients. but he's learning that special ingredients aren't much different tasting than regular ones.
no problem doing this. i've cleaned calamari for my dad and it makes me want to yak. i can't picture anything else grossing me out more than that.
It's funny you mention calamari here. My mom used to tell me this story about how her grandmother used to cook calamari for her grandfather. Apparently she hated the smell so much that she would be holding her nose, facing away from the pot while she stirred it.
i wear rubber gloves and put a clothespin on my nose. so glad i moved out!
i would def do that. i'm not a dinner person and watch what i eat but just because thats MY way of eating, doesnt mean my man has to ya know.
yea, i've cooked lots of things, that i dislike, but austin likes. i know if he could cook he'd do the same for me. :)
I cook things for brandon all time that i wont eat. Like i hate Veal, pork loin, antipasto, and a few other things. I don't want him to miss out on foods just cause i dont like them and goodness knows i am picky. lol. I don;t like cheese but if i cut cheese out that'd would be a crime so i am told.
YOU DON'T LIKE CHEESE!? cheese, is like, the best thing, ever! i've never met anyone that doesnt like SOME kind of cheesey goodness...(well except dan, but i'm pretty sure he still eats soy cheese)
I don't really like cheese that much either - I'll eat a little fresh mozzarella and of course grated parm and pecorino, but that's about it. Donovan loves it because if we order the same thing at a restaurant, he'll always get my cheese, which gives him double! I even give him the cheese off my pizza.
My son rips the cheese off pizza too.
Doesn't even just the cooking of it, go against veganhood?
seriously, but i also think that the world's problems can be solved with food, particularly ice cream, chocolate and tea. i mean how can you be mad at someone when you are eating ice cream and or drinking tea. they should try it in the middle east-it would be instant peace over there.
don't forget fruit snacks
how can you be mad while looking at a tiny yellow face of superman and a tiny grey face of lex luthor
seriously. aaaand they are arch enemies. if they can live together in peace in the fruit snacks packet, anyone can get along.
