How many of you actually plan your home menus?
I ask this because my *ahem* boyfriend loves to cook & he needs an audience when doing so. He won't admit it, but he gets off on it. *lol* I haven't cooked a dinner since I started seeing him. I even offered to help once or twice & both times was told, "Stay out of my way & do what you do best - sit there, look cute & keep me company." Who I am to argue? *lol* We are barely finished with one meal before this man is sketching out the next one.
Also, this dude loves the grocery store & Sam's Club. Now, I love shopping as much as the next person, but he is just sick with his. Sick, I tell ya! He's a union man & gets paid every Friday and every Friday we are in the grocery store & Sam's Club.
Those who know me & who've been to my house know I'm a kitchen gadget freak, but I don't like to cook. I enjoy making desserts, but y'all can have that cooking crap. Not to brag or boast but I have some pretty nice stuff in my kitchen & a lot of it has never been used. Boyfriend was in hog heaven when I gave him free reign of the kitchen & all it's glory.
My dining table seats 8 & my island seats 3....with 4 resin chairs to the side if necessary. My house has been full every weekend with his family & mine (his brother is married to my cousin).
I just have to be careful because my ass will be wide as the doorway if I let him feed me like he wants.
Back before I started working like a galley slave and had TIME to cook real food, I used to plan my menus for two weeks at a time, and shop accordingly around each pay period.. I like having folks nearby when I'm doing my thing, but like your *ahem* boyfriend I don't typically need much help. Enjoy! And work off those extra calories the best way you can. *wink*
ReplyDeleteOOuuu boyfriend huh? *giggles*
ReplyDeleteYes I plan out my meals sometimes for the next two weeks because it helps in saving me money at the grocery store. Although the kitchen i use isn't well stocked with all of the gadgets I need I try and make due until i am able to get them (which from the looks of it will be soon). I enjoy the kitchen and the grocery store and was happy to be back on my feet to do both of them again. I have already started planning for Thanksgiving.
Aww shucks!
ReplyDeleteWhat time is dinner?? LOL
Stop dang complaining and just be dang happy. I remember days like that...I want them back dammit..lol
ReplyDeleteYou are not coming to Arizona lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she is complaining :)
ReplyDeletewell, I'm like you, I love kitchen gadgets, but don't like cooking. I like making deserts, but not cooking meals, LOL. Not that I can't or bad at it, I just don't enjoy it. I just make sandwiches for dinners, so I don't need to even plan meals, just by bread and pb and J for my sandwiches and then frozen meals for lunch and I'm set :)
ReplyDeleteHey man, it's still warm enuff in the South that I could ride my bike all the way there and back. Might take me a week, but I'll get there.
