"How 'bout cookin something up for me...."
(but only if you tell me what!!!)
When I lived at home and all growing up my mom always used to bug us to tell her what we wanted to eat for dinner. She always said she didn't mind cooking but hated deciding what to cook. We never understood it, but having 5 kids she usually made us each take a night and pick what we were having or it was leftovers or fend for yourself.
Now that I am married and cook more often, I totally get it and I HATE it!
You feel me?
I don't mind cooking at all. In fact, although I may not be too great at it, I actually love it. But....NOT when I have to decide what to make. I HATE trying to think of something hoping that Shayne will like what it is I choose, and I HATE trying to be creative and not repeat things from week to week. I HATE trying to make sure it's a balanced meal as well as one that is at least somewhat healthy. I HATE it, I HATE it, I HATE it!!! So, of course everyday I ask Shayne what he wants only for him to say "I don't care" (just like I used to with my mom, what goes around comes around I guess). I even give him options and sometimes I still get an "I don't care, make anything" Well if that were truly the case it would be something simple like grilled cheese but of course that's too easy, not balanced, not healthy blah blah blah - you catch my drift?
So mom as you read this (I'm sure with a smile on your face) I can say now that I totally get it, and I'm sorry I didn't before!!
I think I need to hire someone to write me up a meal plan. Is that even a job? If it's not, it should be - people would pay good money for that.
So please one of you - somebody, anybody out there make my wildest dreams come true and write me up a meal plan for the next year, otherwise I fear we might starve, k - thanks! Love ya!
