Possible spew warning

So, considering that this household has two husbands, you can imagine what it is like trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Thought you might like this funny.

Freezer Meals

I have changed my system for labeling homemade freezer meals. I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie."

However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes.

If you look in my freezer now you'll see a whole new set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don't Know," "I Don't Care," "Something Good," or "Food." My frustration is now reduced because no matter what my husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting.

Spew warning should have been firmly attached. Actually, my DH simply doesn't want whatever it is that I've got ready to cook. Yeah, he's sweet and wonderful and talented, but fussy, fussy, fussy -- all the while saying 'oh you know me, I'll eat anything' (except what I planned for tonight's dinner).

For many months my darling Himself answered 'Something hot with meat in it' when I asked what he would like. I offered him a cat food toastie. Cured in one. ;)

I have a friend who used to begin making her gorgeous Christmas cookes right after Labor Day -- she made double batches of about 3 dozen kinds of cookies, and froze them. Well, they kept disappearing! So she changed her labels, and to look at her deep freeze you would think the lady went nuts in the garden, because there were always lots of packages marked "squash", "asparagus", "green beans", "lima beans", etc. And until her husband and son figured it out, she always had plenty of cookies at Christmas!

My father was a very good sport about food, and would eat anything we cooked for dinner, with the exception of liver, blue cheese, tripe, and cooked carrots. However, when he came in the door after work, he REALLY wanted to see something on the stove -- anything, just some evidence that there would be food for dinner. He was kind of like an old dog who keeps watch over his food bowl when it's getting close to dinner time. Well, we found that we could put some water in a sauce pan to simmer with a few herbs, or a pat of butter and bit of garlic into a skillet, and that would keep dear old dad happy when he walked in the door. Of course, neither of those usually had anything to do with what we would be cooking, but he was happy. Just like the dog . . .

My father was like that, also. Not only something on the stove, but to smell something cooking. Oh, and dinner was at 6PM sharp every night except Sunday. We only relaxed when he went on business trips.

As long as the table is set and ice tea is in the glasses, and maybe a salad is ready, my DH KNOWS that supper will be ready within 10 minutes! No, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's a meat and 2 vegetables. Yesterday was salad, steak, 2 vegetables, and instant pudding. Barbara in SC
