When my dh & I were dating, he decided to prepare a meal to impress me and save some money. The menu was fried chicken livers, real mashed potatoes, green beans that his mother had canned, rolls, yellow cake with chocolate icing. So what if the rolls and cake weren't made from scratch, I was definitely impressed with the fact that he was cooking. I could see the 2 of us cooking together as we started a new life together, laughing and having fun as we chopped, diced, sauteed, and baked. His mother is one of those amazing cooks that throws together a meal out of what seems to be nothing but leftovers--I figured he watched her closely and learned a few things.

When we got married, he helped a little. Made some biscuits and Snickerdoodle cookies a few times, cut up some vegetables, once attempted to make a crust for a pumpkin pie which was then pressed into a pie plate because it tore to pieces as he rolled it. I think he must have a long-standing case of selective amnesia, because ladies, he doesn't remember how to prepare half what he made when he lived on his own!

So...after 26 years of marriage, he makes the coffee on the weekends and cinnamon toast on rare occasions. That's it. He does a mean takeout, though. That's nice, but I really miss him making the biscuits every now and then...maybe he could get really adventurous and fry some bacon and some eggs. Yes, there's a good cook deep down in him somewhere...he's just one that conveniently suffers from selective amnesia.

My dh doesn't cook much now, since I'm a SAHM, but in the pre-kids, both working days he did his fair share. Now he is the pancake king. we do breakfast for dinner frequently, and he makes the best pancakes. The kids like his better than mine, and so do I. They also prefer his method for grilled cheese (don't ask, long standing silly family joke kind of disagrement.)

After 45 years of marriage, we have subjected each other to some of the worst cooking imaginable-I especially remember the "Porcupine Balls" (meatballs with rice, except he didn't know to cook the rice first). I, on the other hand, when trying to "help" managed to scrape off 2 sections of siding from the barn learning to drive the tractor. Accordion pleated it nice as you please.

So we learned, cut each other some slack. You are both on the SAME TEAM! Choose the hill you want to die on; if it ain't a big deal, it ain't a big deal. What difference will it make in a year?

Same here. When we go out to eat, its my treat and he almost always states "you are a very good cook when you aren't the one cooking" or "nice dinner, Dear"

Speaking as a husband. I do all the cooking as the wife brings home the bacon. Her only complaint is I'm making her fat. (too many Paula Deene's recipe's). I was a bachelor for 20 years so I learned to take care of myself plus my grandmother was an excellent cook and I learned a lot from her. My wife and daughter keep telling me to open a restaurant but I don't think I'd enjoy it as much then. I am trying to get creative with egg recipe's since we're getting overun witht them. One of the things I do now is when I fix Tortilla soup I'll use the leftovers and mix it with scrambled eggs and put them in tortilla wraps and wa-la, breakfast burritos.

my husband used to be a chef! (sounds so glamorous but the pay sucked!)
needless to say, he taught me how to cook. i still make him cook for our anniversary and my birthday though.
