I don't like to cook or grocery shop. With all the delivery services, shopping shouldn't be a problem these days and I really should try one but with a major grocery store walking distance from my house, well, it seems sort of silly, doesn't it?
I don't like to cook. Well, that isn't completely true. I do like to cook but I am a plain cook and I like plain food and I like vegetables. The man of the house, however, doesn't. We have been married 46 years and he doesn't like my cooking. I don't think he ever has. It is rather disheartening to stand up on my gimpy, painful knees and cook a meal only to throw most of his away fifteen minutes later and watch him get up and make a snack.
We have also gotten to the age that eating a noon meal is more appealing than a heavy evening meal. Neither of us seems to digest well anymore and that makes us very grumpy and we don't sleep well.
So, a couple of weeks ago I quit. I told Mr. that I wasn't cooking anymore. That we would just eat out and we would eat lunch and he could choose. I just didn't care anymore. I don't really have much of an appetite anymore -- I think it is due to a med I am taking -- and you would think I wouldn't have a weight problem but I do. So, since he doesn't like what I fix, I doubt he would like what eatery I would choose so it is all on him.
That has been our routine for two weeks. I haven't been to the grocery store either. Is that bad?
It is when the weather is dreadful and you don't want to go out to the restaurants! There is nothing in this house to eat. So, I am re-thinking the whole thing.
While I am not crazy about getting out of bed and starting lunch, I know people used to do just that. Maybe I should cook ahead but that means "leftovers" which Mr.'s delicate palate can't seem to handle. Maybe I should just bundle up and head out.
I have no clue. How could two people who have lived together the majority of their lives be so different? It is a mystery.
But, in other non-whining news, I have been making cards again. Here are a few of my latest creations.
Every time I make a card I sit back and look at what it looks like and how I could have made it better. The little koala needs more background "stuff" and I will probably remake it with more "stuff" but I think he is cute, just the same. The teacup mice -- well, those just went really tacky really quickly but I think the recipients will like them anyway. The music inspired one was pretty much copied from one on pinterest (I think) -- thank you whoever did it for the inspiration because sometimes the creative part of my brain is like a dried up desert.
So, yeah, that has been my week -- hoping this one starts out better.
