Any Home Bakers Here?

When my husband gets like that, I kiss him and tell him I'm looking forward to seeing what he's making for dinner before I walk out the door.

Excellent advice! One shouldn't complain about the menu if they aren't going to assist.

I went shopping this morning, mid "old people only" time. There was not a speck of flour or anything else to bake with. I was actually looking for Bisquick. DD2 likes it for pancakes since that is what she grew up with before DD1's gluten issues. Guess I'll have to find a sifter other than the one that is saved "gluten untouched" for DD1 so I can make the pancakes from scratch.


I think I do I thanked people for using VT flour - King Arthur is a Vermont company.


Hang in there Jared, you'll be OK. When you start to feel stressed out take a few deep breaths and push the stress away.

Oh! I remember that now! Thank you. I don't know why I tied that in with Gold Medal.

My kitchen is poorly set-up and my DH is going through his terrible-twos. He has suddenly decided that he does not like 1/2 of the meals that I usually make. There are only so many times that I can eat burgers, brats and italian sausages in a week. I get home from work and THEN he decides what we have for supper. By the time I defrost stuff and get supper made - he complains that we eat too late.
Sorry - off my rant. For some reason this has been a hard week for me.

Lol, mine has many of the same complaints. He doesn't like what I fix, it's too bland, or stinky (fish, cabbage, or brussels sprouts), or has too many veggies. He cooks as a result and most of it comes out of a bag in the freezer or a sauce from a jar.

I don't get off work until 5 and I have to go to the farm after work so I sometimes don't get home until 7-8pm at which point it is clearly (in his eyes) too late to eat. In fact, he cooks, eats, and gets grumpy because my food is cold by the time I get home... Not my fault he cooked early... Some people have things they have to do after work... And I am NOT going home, sitting down to dinner, and then driving out to the farm to try to take care of things out there after 7pm (by the time I get home it's almost 6 so an hour or so to eat, then 30 minute drive to the farm) which would probably put me coming home around 9-10pm... yeah....

I really feel bad for you. My recommended solution would only cause you more trouble at home. Tell him to fix his own d--n supper.

Perhaps if he were to go help at the farm dinner would be earlier

I think it seems worse now because he is working from home and I am still going into the office. His commute is walk to study and sit down. I have a 1/2 hour drive and I start work at 8 instead of 6:30. When I get home, I have to do barn chores for chickens & cats before I even enter the house. I know he has commuted from the study to the family room and planted himself in front of the TV - as that is where he is when I finally get in the house.

This too shall pass.

Maybe he could commute himself to the barn and deal with the chickens and cats on his way "home" from work. I don't know about your setup but evening barn animal chores here take all of maybe 10 minutes.

It's here!!! (well there!!!)

Now will you be able to peel yourself away from it for the move? I'm pretty sure you would have a heck of a time leaving it boxed up until after the move.

I mentioned this about a week ago but finally found a picture. My favorite bake ever!
