Hahaha! I empathise. I occasionally come up with a good meal but David’s the whizz. I got it sussed, he cooks half the time.
Good fun poem. Real life!

lol I enjoyed reading. such a fun poem. It sometimes happen, can’t help it.

When all else fails open a can of pork & beans and heat up some weiners.

I really enjoy your amusing posts. This one hits home. I don’t get cooked for anymore. Have to do my own laundry, too. lol.

CR…Sneaky little devil!!! Show me your cooking prowess…Cute, very cute!!! Sounds like something I’ve heard before!!! I like this one so like everything else of yours that I have read, I voted that I Like It…Thanks
P.S. Talking about fish and chips…there is a restaurant here in Winnipeg called The Brit that has just been voted one of the top three English restaurants in the world…they still serve fish and chips in newspaper..I’m vegan, but remember having my fish and chips wrapped in newspaper in Twickenham, Middlesex several years ago…

I love this poem. Our rule in the house >> “Eat what is served”

Christine, you have brought the first real smile to my face today thank you…. now how did you get my menu? ha ha ha…. each picture was straight off my plates ha ha ha…. seriously I do a mean Tatties neeps n Haggis, or mince n tatties he he cheers.

I don’t like cooking. It just takes too much time. OK-sometimes- just sometimes I am inspired to make something- and I can produce some interesting and tasty dishes but often I feel too lazy. So undomestic of me:D

I love cooking. However, with this new diet I am on I avoid the kitchen as much as possible.

Even though cooking is not your favorite, you\’ve a good touch on foods. Thanks, and clicked you \”liked it\”

Cooking isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

wow…you got the first smile out of me today… i have to let my bestfriend read this…she got to!

I really like this Christine and I feel hungry by looking at those yummy and nutritious foods in the picture. Everybody can cook it just takes time to practice.

I like your ability to write simple verses from simple things of life. Always enjoy these types of writings written by you. This one also very funny and interesting and very close to reality.

What’s for dinner tonight dear is something I never have too say, as my wife is an Excellent cook. Yes she really is happiest in her kitchen cooking and baking.
The only problem is she still cooks for four, even though the kids have long flown the nest!! As a result I’m getting bigger and bigger, still washing all the dishes after dinner helps keep my weight down!!
Excellent fun poem Christine, your really cooking!!

Ha ha very good. sorry but I can cook, my sons and daughter are all chefs. but my kitchen is mine. hope you are well. judi

a good post

Enjoy reading your poem Christine, the topic always interesting and wonderfully expressed. Both my thumbs up!

(see my hungry expression on the face with tongue sticked out?)

Another fantastic piece, and very entertaining to read! Thank you for sharing (:

Fascinating write. And scrumptious dish pics. I’m just hungry. lol

What a delightful and refreshing way to express your woes in cookery. I, too, am the same and do not have a vast amount of cooking skills, but we get by! Great write.

Hehehehahahahaha! I’m not a bad cook and will often follow a recipe if I’m not familiar with the dish .. but they reckon men are better cooks than women Ha! I think you’re born into cuisinedom too Christine and if my partner don’t like what I put in front of him, you can guarantee he’ll be cooking the following night ~ loved this piece Christine

If not for microwave’s and fast food I’d starve! Fun rhyme Christine.

Christine, I’m with you. I am a plain cook and it is bothersome to be trying to think of something new to cook. I can cook cakes, pies, and plain meals but as you say, don’t expect me to cook anything fancy.

I don’t have a big variety in our weekly menu either: It’s bake chicken on Sundays, Fish on Mondays, pot roast on Tuesdays…. Of course these are served with some type of carbohydrates and vegetables. So my hubs knows what to expect. There’s not much more to it, except that I don’t like to cook either, but do it because I have to. A great write Christine : Funny and playful as usual.
Monica.

Good Post

I know you spoke for me; you probably spoke for many. I get sick of him wandering in WHENEVER he decides to come home from a golf game expecting a meal. I don’t need to cook a meal for me.

nice article

I love your fun verses. You my dear, can make a poem out of anything. I love to bake but find planning dinner a terrible task. My husband on the other hand loves to cook so he does most of our dinners.

I can relate, Christine. I can’t cook. lol.

I can certainly relate. My husband cooks from time to time as I can only fry fish and chicken and saute some veggies.

I feel I hit the mark with many of you, lol. Guess what’s for dinner today…Sunday roast ha ha! Thanks for all your wonderful comments.

Christine

I am sure your cooking is just great I like pasta and a good sauce.
I can cook to survive I suppose so take heart.

Oh I know that feeling. I am lucky, because now that my partner is working less, he is doing more of the cooking. Great poem!

Wonderful. When my kids start grumbling about meals I have them cook the next one – then we are good for another week.

great post

yummy

Great poem for the appetite Christine. Maybe someday I’ll graduate from the microwave and try to cook something.

Wonderful Christine your true to life poems are magic..
Try this one on hubby and see what he says?
you will need
1½ pounds asparagus, steamed
2 largknobs of butter
three quarter cup bread crumbs
and a quarter cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Butter a baking dish, then arranged steamed, well-drained asparagus in a single layer
Cut the remaining butter into small pieces, then combine with bread crumbs and cheese. Use your fingers to mix and squish everything together into buttery crumbs. Sprinkle over the asparagus.
Broil 2-3 minutes, until the crumbs just turn golden – check frequently or the crumbs will burn.
use fresh bread crumbs and freshly grated Parmesan, store bought crumbs and pre grated Parmesan will detract greatly.

Its easy to do and as long as he likes Asparagus your onto a winner, good luck Christine

Nice to read your Article, Keep writing more about it. Is is really Gracefully and very well written skill. Thanks for sharing.

Sara….!!!

I think this is the reason why my sister never had kids and she married a gourmet cook

Sometimes it is the guest that can fully rate your meal. tx for the poem that I enjoyed.

Ha Ha, you got me on this one! Mabey you have spoiled someone too much. What you said is plain sounded real good to me! A couple of days with crackers and a can openner and he\’ll think a peanut butter sandwhich is right fancy! Friend, fan, smile

I loved your poem. Your hubby sounds like a few people I know very well. You would think that people would be thankful for what they get if they are not the ones who have to cook it.

This one is a standard line in our home too! I usually answer with ghasphus which means grass and straw

Mum, I crave your home-cooked meals everyday!

Hi great read thanks Hettie

Excellent writing with very informative sharing.

lol. =) Nice. I like it.

Nice Writing and sharing Good & informative Piece. Thanks and Cheers.

Sunita:

I’m a terrible cook so I identified with this a lot. A wonderfully written poem Christine.

Beggars can never be choosy. So I will say Bon Appétit

Excellent as ever,I know just how you feel.

Lovely as normal Christine!! I think even your hubby could venture in the kitchen to make salad and jacket potato

Well written, and I agree with lillyrose, he can as I have my husband doing, ventured into the kitchen to put a dish or two together.
You writing is so free flowing, I love it.
Fantastic

Interesting Piece.

Today I know more about it. Good subject selection for writing article.

Thanks for sharing good one.

Anjal….!!!

Lol, my husband is a wonderful cook, and he probably cooks more often than I do when I’m busy.

I can relate to your predicament Christine, this is my son’s line whenever my wife is away.. Luckily, my son loves scrambled egg. LOL

You are not a bad cook at all Mum. I always look forward to my meals when I visit. I like the poem.

Ha ha…I enjoyed your poem. I love cooking and my whole family loves eating; so I try out new dishes always. Some dishes would come out well while some don’t.

love it!!

I loved this poem! I cooked dinner for my mother and stepfather for the first time last night and I was completely stressed out haha.

Excellent!
