I let my wife pick dinner again. I offered her oven fries but she opted for instant mashed potatoes with instant chicken gravy. She regrets that decision. But it was tasty.
Beef was free. Cost per person: $1.30 Cost if you have to buy the beef: $3.55
Bonus pic. Worst miss en place ever is in the comments.
I need to stop asking what they want. Roast me in the comments.
I put the buns in the microwave for 30 seconds
you don't get maillard reactions in the microwave
This meal couldn't cope with that much flavor.
im always looking for cheap ways to inject flavor in my meals from my ramen and pb&j days. the oils used to grill are also extra filling easy calories and i like to use some of the leftover grease from frying the meat to grill the buns, it would just get wasted otherwise.
Justified. But if I add too much flavor on a wife designed meal she says I ruined it. She likes her comfort food bland.
Oh, I get this.
My wife quite likes pasta with just some basil pesto stirred through it. Pasta from a packet and pesto from a jar. I once hand-made some pasta and made pesto from scratch. Her reaction: "It's ok, but I prefer the normal version." She generally prefers meals from her childhood to be the simple nostalgia version rather than my "zhuzhed up" version. Which makes sense, I suppose.
Brother
well we wouldn't want your wife's socks getting knocked off now would we
You haven't felt an icy shoulder until you have ruined your spouse's comfort foods by trying to make them better.
I remember when I knew this would be an ongoing issue. She sat there with a scratch made pierogi on a fork. Just looking at it. "What's wrong?" "I'm going to taste this and then I'll never be able to enjoy freezer pierogi again." "Sure you will." "No. Those have been great my whole life. But I'm going to taste this and every pierogi I've ever had will suddenly suck. And if I eat another freezer pierogi I'll think about this one and wish I had it."
I never made them from scratch again.
my wife actually tends to like when i make food better.
Which is completely normal.
the things we do for love...
