My wife is my toughest critic, we dislike some similar things, and then we have some Stark differences on some foods. But, there are some things I get super nervous cooking for her (she is a Horrible cook), but, she has these moments in time with a few meals that her dad grilled, or her mom cooked that I often do not nail. Even though I probably did, just not to the emotional memory’s of a certain meal. Other things she is so on board for the meal,

This was a tough one for me. SWMBO and I love many of the same foods but we also have several foods that she hates and I love and vice versa. In restaurants, we will usually order different things even if we like the same thing so we can sample each other’s plate. For cooking, 98% of the time I am cooking something we can both eat and the remainder of the time, I am usually adding on some ribs or pork butt just for me.

As we speak, she has homemade borscht in the fridge which she loves and I don’t care about, so she makes it every once in a while like I do with my ribs.

IFindZeroBadCooks this is me and my wife to a tee! She likes pork ribs as long as they aren't too fatty and does not like pork butt much at all. She does however like brisket, beef ribs, and chuck roasts. Guess she just doesn't like pig as much as cow.

this is why I'm getting fat... my wife likes to order more than she can eat so she can sample everything, and I always forget to bring the cooler and ice packs along for leftovers... so I eat

My wife's and my tastes have always been similar. Over the 23 years we've been married, our tastes have both evolved, and now they're almost identical. The only difference we could come up with is that I like radishes and she doesn't. But I don't often eat radishes, so that's hardly worth mentioning. She has introduced me to new foods that I now enjoy, such as Soul food, and I've introduced her to a few things, like aebelskivers. (She's African American and I'm half Danish.) And we've discovered a lot of things together. Reading some of the comments above makes me realize how lucky I am.

There's a reason he picked you. Was wandering the neighborhood, checking out the sights and smells and general vibes and whatnot. Catches a whiff of something smokey and is mesmerized. Comes in for a closer look, hears some sweet guitar licks and senses some general good vibes and whatnot coming from the house, yadda yadda yadda, finds his soulmate.Last edited by CaptainMike; October 19, 2021, 06:31 PM.

He Chose Me...:
Sometimes, on rare occasion, amidst th Gods an Goddesses rollin dice, an playin cards, they throw a straight up one out there, without any twist of th wrist, jus to see how we mere mortals might potentially respond....
Smokey was one such occasion that I have witnessed, in this Life....
