In our house we have some standing agreements. This helps us in making life easier here in our household. The agreements? My husband cooks on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’s. I cook the rest of the time. The other agreement: Who ever cooks dinner the other one cleans.
Tonight my husband is in the kitchen cooking. Sometimes he can burn water, but other nights he is spot on. This post was his idea. He thought I should feature his cooking prowess. So, upon his request, I wanted to feature tonight’s meal prepared by my husband.
As I sit here waiting for dinner to cook I am overwhelmed by the aromas of tomato sauce and cheese. Could he be making lasagne? What a perfect dinner for a night when it is not only raining, but cold outside? Right now the thermometer is registering 48 degrees. Quite a change from the high 80’s of last week. As an aside, it has me wondering if I should pull my winter clothes out of storage or should I wait? In 2006 it was warm enough to sit outside in November in jeans and a t-shirt. What is one to do?
Back to my husband cooking! Oh, he is in the kitchen right now! He is pulling something out of the oven! He is telling me that we have to wait 5 minutes before he can serve dinner! My stomach is growling! I think to myself, “Have I taught him something about being in the kitchen?” The little voice in my head says, “Maybe…maybe not…” I am anxiously awaiting what we are having for dinner as tonight I have been ousted from the kitchen! Ticking down the time…

Voila! Here is a photo of my husbands creation tonight!
Such a lovely lasagne!
How was it? Well, it needed a bit more sauce but overall, it was not bad. When I was asked, I told him how proud I was of him finally putting together all by himself such a tasty dish. And, tonight he even cleaned up! Bonus night!
After he went to bed, I went to throw something in the trash, and this is what I found that I just had to share…
Who really made dinner!
Life in the Foothills 
Oh, how funny! I did not guess the ending…you led up to it very well:>) What a hoot!
Love it Barb. That would never happen to me. I hide that stuff very well.
Best,
Conor

Thank you very much!
Loved this post Barb. It was 0 °C here yesterday morning. I want Summer to arrive already.
Froze my butt off this morning! Snow went down to 3200 feet yesterday… Glad you liked this post! I had to share my funny story with my followers! Too good to pass up!
I hope your husband enjoyed reading the post too 🙂
He suggested I write the post! Hee hee! He did not think about me finding the evidence!
How did he react to your discovery?
A sheepish grin spread across his face and then he asked, “So, did you like it? It wasn’t burnt!”
Ha ha, non-burnt means he’s winning 🙂
Ahhh, at least he made the effort, bless him. It’s still nice having someone do all the cooking even if it is out of a box 🙂
Say, shopped, cooked, kitchen cleanup, well add “take out the garbage” and it’s perfect! Right?
Right! But did not do the shopping! I give him items that he could not possibly burn, although he has…but it is fun to watch, and it makes for a good post!
It’s the thought that counts, but he’ll have to learn to hide those food boxes in another can.
