Quote:I'm not going to pretend my days for dinner are anything fancy 

 

When I'm doing dinner it's either Fried Chicken and Fries, I pick up Pizza or Spaghetti! My wife makes the REAL meals no denying it! 

 

WHeres the fried chicken from? Homemade or take out?

Every now and then I really enjoy cooking. If I'm not hungry, I will cook anything. If I'm hungry, I go for the quickest thing possible. For thanksgiving, my wife will do a turkey and I will also. But mine is going in the Egg. She doesn't know it, but I'm making it a competition. She'll do most of the sides except mashed potatoes. For whatever reason I can't figure out, her family doesn't make them on TG. So, I will be making that as well because, [REALLY BAD WORD REMOVED]. I want my potatoes!!!

I enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but lately it's been hard to find any Indians to invite.

Well, if you do, be polite. Keep your drooling confined to anticipation of the turkey's breast, not the hawt wife's.

Quote:That's what im doing with my daughters. I am starting them on something small like cutting-cooking up the shrimp/meatballs and prepping the pasta for Spaghetti. I even have them prep the Mac-cheese for baking by stirring the milk-eggs & cheese inside the Macaroni pasta once its soft and in the pan.

How old are your daughters?  Mine are 7, and they help with the pumpkin pie (as long as they get to lick the beaters), Cranberry Salad, and cranberry bread.  I'm too worried about letting them handle a knife just yet.   But I'm a worry wart.

 

 

Quote:Im going to try out that bread for Christmas. From googling and reading the recipe, it looks and sound delicious.

 

Great!  It's really good.  I always love trying new recipes.  It's really tempting for me to go get a piece right now and eat it.

Hamburger Helper is where it's at!  Though I try to cook something nice at least once or twice a week.  (Of course my job is easy and I set my own hours.  While my Wife's a high school teacher who takes her job very seriously and spends a lot of time grading papers and planning lessons)  

 

As for cleaning... I have to be in the mood to clean.  My wife does most of it at our house (our daughters do keep their room pretty clean, at least when it's inspection time).  Our house can get a little messy, but it never gets too bad.  When we have company though... then it's time to make the house spotless.

Wife and I typically cook alot for the family to where it last 2 days, we cook the big meals on the weekends.  If both of us are tired or dont have time we will order from Pizza Hut etc.

The girls are 6, and 7. I dont let them handle anything hot, or a knife. We mostly cut up everything for the kids to help make the meal. Everything is repetition, by the time we make something they are familiar with, we just guide them.

Quote:Ok...maybe we'll let that one slide....

 

I can't cook (very well) don't have the patience for it....so if she's not a good cook, its a dealbreaker for me....

Unless she's skilled in other ways! :thumbsup:

Publix or Tyson Chicken strips premade in a bad, I keep it real man! Just drop them in some oil for 7 mins and you got restaurant quality chicken!

I venture out sometimes, I just know not to try any of the refrigerated stuff. 

 


 

Hahaha, when I was younger thats what got me out of doing the dishes and cleaning after we had company/family over for dinner. I always helped my mom cooked. My cousins and sisters hated it.

I tried pineapples in Sweet potato casserole once and it was good.

I do a sweet potato casserole with a pecan topping. Yum!

Haha, that might be tough....I'll make sure I'm hungry, maybe that will help.

I hear ya, but the old adage of the way to a mans heart is through his stomach rings true with me. I'll take the "other ways" and food, thank you. :yes:

I agree, PH really hit it big with the dinner box. I wish they would switch up and add more desserts to the dinner box than just cinnamon sticks. Usually we just get some honey buns from a dollar store and that works.

Pecan toppings work on a majority of sweet baked dishes especially red velvet cakes.
