Does your wife cook your tea?

Recommended Posts

I must admit that I only do about 15-20% of the food preparation these days, as well as a lesser percentage of the shopping. I am very lucky, and my wife says that she wants to ensure I'm well fed (I do eat stupid quantities) for work.

 

At the end of the day, forestry/arb/sawmilling is backbreaking, exhausting work, made all the worse by the feeling that you are dragging around lead trousers all day. A day's office work, whilst obviously not without it's merit, is not in the same ball park for fatigue.

 

But yes, I do appreciate that I am very lucky. I do however make bloody excellent curry (used to be a chef in a previous career) which raises it's head once a week or so.

My awesome wife cooks me tea every night of the week, and lunch if I know I am going to be home.

weekends we eat out for breaky and buy in tea.

Our lives revolve around eating well, that's all we spend our money on really. Tonight was steak and salad and I am having calamari for supper :)

I get breakfast in bed every day and have done for 20 years:thumbup:

 

She makes my packed lunch every day and my tea is always ready when I get home:thumbup:

 

My fiancé is the same, she even makes packed lunch for lads working for me.

Her mother stops with us every weekend, she was a chef for years an loves cooking for people with a good appetite.

The only things I cook are things I've shot.

I would love to cook the faimily supper but it's a case of 'sorry love but I don't have the relevant certificate for cooking 'woodsman tea' NPTC CS 49/50:sneaky2: (with CS 50 - as you all know is for washing up) but she did buy me some domestic PPE I think it's called an 'Apron with Marigolds' bit hot in the summer.

 

She's a real pet, cooked my dinner every day. When we had our son, and she started her labour pains I said," Don't worry love just cook me a quick full english while I phone for a taxi for you:blushing:

 

Back me up on this lads just in case she goes on Arbtalk later:blushing:

Generally I do nearly all the cooking during the week as I'm usually home first. Worst thing I find is I'm real hungry when I get in and end up eating loads before have even thought about starting tea.

 

The odd times I take sandwiches in my bait and Wife's up at a similar time to me, she'll make me a sandwich, but usually I end up making my own packup.

My girlfriend and I have only just moved into our first house and she wanted a new kitchen right away. She loves her kitchen so much I'm not allowed near it!

She works for the council and gets home before me and my dinner is usually ready for me. I made sure we got a dishwasher along with the new kitchen ;)
