My dinner if I’m left to fend for myself * cereal and Mike’s Hard Lime
Alright.
I’m not much of a cook.
Granted, I can do it if I have to. Really, I can. I’ve watched my fair share of the Food Network. I’ve seen Giada do her thing looking all sexy and I have tried to duplicate various concoctions, with edible results. However, on the rare occasion that my husband dares to ask me, “What’s for dinner?” my response is most often, “Crap! Dinner….uh, peanut butter and jelly?”
Thanks be to God, I have a husband who cooks. And he cooks darn well.
We have been together for 5 years and married for two and a half of those. I have just today confessed that I positively suck at the following things:
1] Menu Planning
2] Grocery List Making
3] Grocery Shopping
4] Grocery Budgeting
5] Making Dinner
And my dear husband reminded me that he likes ALL of those things. Even though he usually makes all the dinners, I have still been trying for the last two and a half years to establish some kind of menu and shopping routine. I have failed miserably. We have eaten a lot of burritos and cold cereal. Today it dawned on us: HEY, why doesn’t the HUSBAND do the food stuff? He likes it. He enjoys it. He’s really really good at it.
Partnership is AWESOME. We have now split up pretty much all household duties right down the middle, and now neither of us has to do anything we suck at.
Deal.
Marriage ROCKS.

Mr. E-McG - Oh, yes, friends.
This is the GREATEST. THING. EVER.
I can’t believe it took 2.5 years to figure this out.
