Who decides what’s for dinner

Both Decide

We both decide. We make a dinner list for the week and then grocery shop around it. It really cuts down on the costs -at least for us. We both cook too. Usually depends on who gets home first.

Maybe that is why it is left to me is cuz I don't work only at home and with the rentals. What really gets me is since we moved up here 5 1/2 yrs ago he always has to have breakfast, lunch and supper. That is really hard for me to get used to as before we moved up here he always went to the restaurant for breakfast before he went to work and always ate lunch out but was home for supper. Now I cook all 3 meals and I still can't get used to it. When it comes to lunch he thinks this is a restaurant and he comes anytime from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm as says "Whats to eat" like I should really have a menu for him. One time when the grandchildren were here and he came and asked for some lunch the granddaughter got busy and made signs and hung them all over the house that said CINDY'S KITCHEN IS NOW OPEN. Oh Well things could be worse better go and think of what is for supper now that I am on the subject.

When we decide the night before what we will have for dinner we usually make enough for lunches the next day too ,So it kinda becomes a 2 day meal, Its also cheaper that way.... Also it always tastes better the next day...........Breakfast usually is some kind of fruit and coffee so thats an easy fix

My wife and I share the cooking. She's a pretty good cook. There are certain things that she cooks and certain things I cook. She will try different recipes on occasion and if we like it we'll add it to our repertoire of meals. Sometimes she won't like the new recipe and won't eat it. For me, I'm like a human garbage disposal, I eat anything and everything; under cooked, overcook, burnt, crappy flavor, doesn't matter. Oh, and by the way, I always tell her how delicious it was, like it or not!

I'm am like Skidooski in that I eat everything. I never ever complain when she cooks as I am happy as heck that she does. She gets home 2-3 hrs before me so she usually cooks. When she says it's my turn to cook, we go out to eat, lol. I do run the grill 90% of the time though. I love when she tries new things, most of them are awesome. We have a thing though that if it isn't very good, I will let her know nicely so we don't do that recipe again.

Yes i remember it well as all the other bars in batavia that have come and gone ( not that i ever went to them all....lol) Batavia was a town of bars thats for sure... We moved to Cortland because Batavia ,Geneva ,St Charles are now huge and fast paced, where as Cortland is still small for the time being ... Guess our next stop to live will be the u.p in the next 5 yrs ,We are looking to buy land or a house up that way very soon

Somebody has been reading too much...professor pc...starting to put...little dots...everywhere...LOL. Just giving ya a hard time Mrs. Bear.

My wife cooks, I can't, so she usually decides what we are having. If she asks me for ideas, I always say steak! One time a couple of years ago, my wife was gone so I was the cook for a few days. The one night I left the cardboard under the pizza in the oven! LOL. My daughter got a good laugh out of that one.
