Not hungry 

[honeybun]

Bet you were when hubby presented you with dinner CLKD.

Anyone else get thoroughly fed up with cooking day in, day out, for donkeys years, and wish someone else would do it .....just sometimes.

I cook for my mother too, and I'm so fed up with cooking.

If I ever win the lotto, I will have a cook.

Oh another thread ……… 

I enjoyed the burger Honeybun - he doesn't mind cooking  even on his birthday, after all, we went out for lunch 

[honeybun]

Sorry CLKD , I know your situation is a little different.

But after having cooked for 30 + years, and having done it for a living too, I am totally and utterly sick of doing meals for others. If your hubby tells you deferrently he is telling fibs.

If I had a break for a year then I might feel differently, but heavens I am sick of it.

  Honeybun, that's below the belt. 

He enjoys cooking ………. he loves me therefore he cooks  .  If he lived alone he would cook so he makes double.  We go out to eat a lot more than we did years ago, usually to meet with friends or when I make the suggestion.  He's also a Chemist and all the Chemists were know, cook  .

[honeybun]

Sorry, it really wasn't meant that way at all. I'm not just talking about you and hubby. It's most women I think....well at some point.

If you do the same thing day in day out you get fed up with it, so therefore it drives you up the pole.
Trying to think what to cook, every single day. Others sitting waiting to have it put in front of them. Heck anyone would get fed up with that.
It's got nothing to do with love...if I lived alone I probably wouldn't bother to the same extent I do now.

   I wouldn't bother.  I would be the old lady with the single packet of prepared mixed carrots, beans, sweet corn to last a couple of days.  I checked: his reply "Why would I be fed up cooking for you?".  You can ask when we visit 

Being 2 of us we decide mid-afternoon what to eat ……. sometimes he will make Cornish pasties etc. and freeze and there's usually trout to smoke if necessary. 

[honeybun]

If my hubby asked me that I would probably tell him because I've been doing it for 30 odd years.

Since he retired my hubby has quite taken to cooking, he makes all our bread, yogurt and does a lovely lasagne. His latest venture is buttermilk scones. I do have to do all the thinking about what to have and make sure we have all we need+ the washing up but it does make a change when he cooks. I do get fed up of planning meals, I seem to have been doing it for years-well 44 to be exact- Tonight we had pork medallions with new potatoes and veg  in a honey and mustard sauce followed by strawberries and yoghurt.

ME, ME, ME!   I'm afraid I repeat a lot of meals week in week out because I get so fed up trying to think what to make. My son likes proper cooking- by that I mean recipes that require lots of faffing about ( he watches too many cooking shows ) and my husband only likes really plain food with no seasoning. So I always cook two meals apart from mid week which is a " sausage roast" as I call it and Sundays if we have a proper roast.

My husband has never ever cooked a meal 

I once asked my husband at breakfast what he wanted for dinner and he said " I can't think about that now!"  and I said "Well I have to!"

I go to bed thinking what to have  for dinner next day

It's the planning that gets to me.
However, since my broken fibula, OH now is active in the kitchen.
Trust me ladies it's much appreciated.
He doesn't do meal planning - yet.............
