Hi Y'all: My current struggles. Well: SIL told DH that she finally has an appointment on Sunday to have all her teeth pulled and she will not be available next week. I have never heard of dental appointments on Sunday unless it was an extreme emergency 😳.🤷‍♀️.Busy all day trying to plan meals and make delivery order for tomorrow. I dearly love DH but he is difficult to cook for and doesn't like leftovers except the leftovers from Thanksgiving. Not sure if the doctor appointment on Friday- if the doctor will release him and let him drive. He has another friend to take him to eat on Tuesday and Wednesday. Everything that I suggested for meals- nope. The last two Sunday's per his request made meatloaf. 😡 grr. Another problem- his image of food: If everything cooked isn't in big pots - like 5 quarts: I haven't cooked enough but just us and he doesn't like leftovers. We had soup and chili last week. DH just asked if I was finished with the grocery list- I asked for - meal suggestions. Y'all have any idea what he said? " Meatloaf " = me nope. Him : why ask me anything. Next week will be very difficult.

Oh boy.  He likes to see you cook in big pots or he doesn't like to see the big pots?

I feel for you.  It's a lot of working trying to come up with meals ideas.

No one tells you this when you are growing up - being an adult is figuring out what to cook every night for the rest of your life.

Good Morning!

No one prepares you for all the dinners you need to worry about.  It should be a required high school class.  LOL

Hi Y'all: DH just gave me this: 

I will take all the help that I can get. Yep... me been praying. More later. Got to take shower and get dressed.

So many of the recipes are what I cook. DH said he found this book on line when he was looking for a recipe for traditional southern bbq pulled pork sandwiches and the picture looked so much better than mine🤷‍♀️😳. He has no idea about my recipe but very similar to the one in the book. If I cook the pulled pork: his reply good but I prefer the bbq ribs. Planning meals are not easy and especially for someone that doesn't cook but is very picky.

I'm fine with leftovers too.  A lot of things taste better the next day anyway.  DH always takes leftovers for lunch.
