Husbands

Tonight B wanted something to nibble on so he went into the kitchen and shouted , " do you want some Ritz crackers ?"
I said yes I will have just a couple , so in he came with a plate with Ritz crackers pickled onions and cubes of CHEESE ,
Now that doesn't sound a problem does it ? ,

Except I have known this Man since I was 13 years old , he cooks for me every day , not once in all those years have I ever ate hard cheese

I will have Brie or other mild soft cheeses now and again , But I only ever eat hard cheese if its grated and melted on top of something then only sparingly .

Why have you put cheese on a plate for me I asked , you know I don't eat hard cheese ?

His answer was well I thought you might have changed your mind and fancied some

I think getting to 63 without eating hard cheese im not likely to suddenly change my mind overnight now am I

This man never ceases to amaze me with his logic .

Ha ha Oma 😀. They never cease to surprise us, do they.

Reminds me of the time we were out for a meal and I just couldn’t decide on a dessert. There were two delicious chocolate puddings on offer, I always choose something chocolatey when I have the chance, so I said to P..you go and order and surprise me! Wrong!!! What did I get... a brandy snap! I ask you, how could he get it so wrong, 54 years of living with me, knowing what a chocoholic I am and I end up with a brandy snap ☹️.

But we wouldn’t change them, would we? 😀

[Oma]

No we wouldn't Enfys if nothing else life is never boring hahaha

I think he must think this is your new year resolution Oma

I wasn't with my ex as long as you and B, but it was over 30 years.
I don't like chocolate cake. I love chocolate, I love cake, but chocolate cake - no thanks. I'll eat it to be polite but will never ever choose it. What did I get most birthdays from him? A chocolate birthday cake! As I knew I was lucky to get a cake, not many husbands bother, I never complained. He should have known I would much rather have had a nice plain non chocolate sponge cake, or my favourite coffee and walnut!

These posts made me chuckle. It's not just husbands!

We'd been married about 6 years (so very early days, that's my excuse), and we were both peckish one evening. I went into the kitchen to make us a sandwich, asking OH what he'd like on his. "Cheese and onion, please" he said. Errr .... he never has cheese and onion sandwiches! So I checked I'd heard right and I had. I gave him the sandwich and he just looked at it as if I'd handed him a plate of barbed wire to eat.

Apparently I should have known he'd meant to say 'cheese and tomato'!!

This thread is making me chuckle.

OH knows I don't like mushrooms, so what does he do when we ate out? He orders me a small breakfast with mushrooms included. When I asked how long he'd known me & known about my dislike for mushrooms he winked & just grinned back at me. He picked up my plate & scraped them onto his plate saying "Well you don't like them, but I love 'em".

Meanwhile the juices from the mushrooms had soaked into everything they touched. Ugh. I told him next time he even touches my plate his hand will be pinned to the table with my fork.😉🤣🤣🤣

Hubby not too bad,he knows what i like and dislike.
But,after being married for 51 years,he still asks me how many sweetners i have in tea.
I don't have sweetners in tea.
Best about it is,he still asks me how many sweetners he has in tea and coffee.

[Oma]

Nana I love Mushrooms but I cant have them on the plate with other food they have to go in a little ramekin dish on the side ,
I hate the juices touching any food it makes my stomach churn.

Nanto that reminds me of my Nephew , he was 23 at the time he went to his sisters house she made a cup of tea and asked him how many sugar's ,
His reply was ...I don't know Mams does that for me ...

Lovely reading these funny comments. My OH was hopeless if it was a buffet meal, he would send me up for his, saying you know what I like. He hated queuing.

[Daisy]

This thread has reminded me of a friend of ours. We were having lunch out at a fairly posh restaurant. Looking at the choices on the menu, he turned to his wife and said "do I like any of these"?

Then yesterday at DS1's, GS1 pulled a bottle of juice out of the fridge and asked his mum if it's the one he likes!

[Gemini]

My OH still often asks me which coffee she likes in restaurants! Left to her own devices she would (and has) ordered espresso which she hates. She has a mental block about Americano it seems

[Daisy]

This thread is so funny. It seems there are lots of people who don't know their own tastes in food or drink.
