i\'m just gonna type it: my wife cannot cook :(

[elky McElkerson]

hahha..Man, i love that woman. but she didnt win me over through my stomach. hahah

yesterday, i did a huge mountain bike ride. while i was showering she said, \"i\'ll get started with dinner\"..oh-o.

i showered FAST. got dressed and met her in the kitchen. it was funny. WE buy huge pillowcase sized bags of greens. spinach, kale..whatever. all part of the campaign to get more greens into us. she had the smallest pot we owned on the stove, and this huge bag of greens out. she was adding a handful of greens at a time into the pot. she would let them cook down, and then add more. (like she was trying to melt down gold ingots or something)

i asked the obvious, \"why did you choose a bigger pot?\"

no answer. i quickly rallied and whipped up a badass dinner of leftovers. quick shred...i made corned beef hash. big side salad..soft boiled egg over the hash.

she put her, tiny bowl of randomly cook greens on the table. it was mostly overcooked to death, with the last handful, barely wilted. haha.

i do most of the cooking. i\'ve been married long enough to not have to fake that her food is delicious. we laughed about her dish together.

glad i like cooking.

I must have married her sister!

lol,yall are brave men. my wifes idea of cooking is picking the restaurant out

 

[Buglemaster]

Lew & Cliff, you two must have BIG kahoonas! If my wife saw me post that, I\'d be eating as well as sleeping with the pooch.Shes a great cook, but not as good as me

It\'s easy to be brave when the wife is in the other room

I guess I am a lucky man. My wife gets up at 4:20 am and makes me a toasted sandwhich with 2 hard fried eggs a slice of cheese and a slice of ham. She then gets my tea on to simmer and makes me a PBJ for my 9am snack with a small container of applesause. She sets my lumch on the counter which is leftovers from a great supper the night before. I get up to breakfast on the table at 4:30 am. She plans her meals and plans her grocery shopping with a list in hand. My wife has a huge assortment of cookbooks and enjoys cooking. She makes some delicious meals.

I make my breakfst on the weekend and let her sleep in cause I\'m such a nice guy.

Her cleaning the house is not the best but a well fed man doesn\'t complain about that.

This is a common malady and I believe it comes from the old \'camp cook\' game, which many of our wives have perfected. In Camp Cook, you have to be the cook until someone complains about the cooking, and then they get to take over the duties. My sister in law played the game with her husband and hasn\'t had to cook a meal in 20 years. My wife? She tries very hard to get me to complain but I know the game too well. She fried some brats in oil the other night. She almost won, but then I got my wits about me and told her it was delicious! There was the hamburger soup, which she had the balls to call \'stew\'. Homemade bread made with tortilla mix (yea, she almost won that night too), and a variety of other main dishes that I somehow managed to choke down with a smile. I like to cook, but I refuse to do ALL the cooking, no matter how bad it gets. I know the game too well! :shh:

Yep, I complained and have been doing the cooking at our house for 25 years now.

 

[cnelk]

I complained once a few years ago.
Her named suddenly changed to \'Planitiff\' :crazy:

 

[bnsafe]

lol, yall are hilarious, but the truth usually is. wish I was smart enuf to keep my mouth shut sometimes. thought it would happen when I got older, but nope, it didnt

 

[elky McElkerson]

my wife\'s \"super-power\" is money.

if it wasnt for her, i wouldnt have two nickles to rub together. we spend normal, and she saves so much money!!

when i bought my tacoma, i was calling a bank for options on financing a used truck. she heard me and said. \"no, we have the cash\"

\"seriously?\".

the lady invests, saves, and just does voodoo magic to make it happen. she has taught me how to manage money, somewhat. i still bought a new bow this year, and equipped it with the latest and greatest accessories. it was nice not charging it on a card. hahah.

cooking? hahaha..one time she cooked a stew. it was purple-gray!! she didnt have any white onions, so she used a really purple onion. it tainted the entire pot this crazy color. it was so unappetizing looking. she got so angry with me when i ran for my camera. i ate it. flavor was okay, meat was tough and dry. but that color...awesome.

my wife is a funny woman. when i retire and hunt/fish into my golden years, i will have her to thank. big time.

Elky, You recon if I sent my wife out there your wife would train her?

 

[bnsafe]

[Dotman]

My wife must be related, she can make Mac & cheese and that\'s about it. Every month she tries to make a new dish from a reciepe and it never turns out. I\'m usually the cook but I enjoy it.
