The Confession

So my husband made a confession to me about 2 days ago. I am appalled, I am horrified, I am upset.

His big confession...

He doesn't read my blog most days!

How awful is that?!?!?!?!?

Really though, I can't blame him. Who wants to read about chicken fried steak and Indian tacos and cookies and such when you are subsisting on ramen, macaroni and cheese, and chow mein meals?

See, my husband is in school in another state. And with teaching and studying and papers to write... he doesn't have much time to cook. I keep saying it would be a great boost to my blog of he, a man who can cook eggs and ramen, would try out my recipes and give me feedback on how well I gave the instructions. But, I guess that's hard too when I am the grocery shopper for us and him as well (I buy the groceries for him, stick them in the pantry and wait for him to come home, then I drop the groceries in his car). Usually, the most he has to buy are eggs and milk (lucky man!).

I did make him up a ton of homemade meals to stick in the freezer at his apartment. That lasted a whole semester. Then his roommates took off with the microwave dishes (I think that was in protest to him taking up so much space in the freezer, LOL).

I need to work on a compromise. Some homemade meals for the freezer (to shove between the frozen pizzas and microwave burritos) and some shelf-stable stuff like the ramen and chow mein meals. At least then he wouldn't take up all of the freezer space, but he'd still have homemade meals to remind him what he is missing out on.

So, I'll forgive my husband (this time) for not reading my blog. I really don't blame him. He can keep on writing his paper while munching down a bowl of blue box mac and cheese. I'll keep cooking up great meals for my kids and blogging about it.

At least he's eating something, right? Hopefully he can sqeeze in some time to read your blog...send it to his email. :)

My husband has to go to school for a couple months this summer and I have no doubt he'll come home a little lighter. :) It's an easy diet for him! Lol.
