Mrs Mungo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I am a good cook. That is not bragging, it is just a fact. Tonight I made a beautiful quiche for dinner-bacon, onions that I cooked down forever, gruyere cheese, cream, etc. I cooked it in a deep dish tart pan so that the quiche could be all beautiful. It was lovely and delicate. My husband took two bites and then put salsa all over it. :001_huh: It is completely ridiculous to fret over it, right? Things like that should be the least of my worries in a husband, right? I am sorry, but it does bother me. Boo.

Starr Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Boo, I wish I were there. I would love your cooking! You just have to let these guys dump whatever sauce they think they need on their food. Although I do encourage dh not to do it when eating at other people's homes. Sorry.

Really, it isn't that big of a deal, but being all hormonal right now, I would have been, oh let's just say slightly upset;). Maybe he was just craving salsa. Maybe he was being intentionally evil.

Kate CA Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah, I don't get the whole ketchup/salsa over everything, but I have learned that I can enjoy my work in my way and they can enjoy my work in theirs.

DH told me to get over the fact that two of my kids (who shall remain unnamed) put ketchup on it. Uh, no. I will say that the kids have humbled me. I can't tell you how many times I have had to inform them that they are nuts because my _________ is craaaaaazy delicious. (Do not fear for my children's feelings.

scrappyhappymama Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 My husband and my MIL put hot sauce or tabasco on just about everything I have ever cooked for them. Now, I am not against a spicy dish- yum! But when it's supposed to be savory or delicate or something else instead, well then, no. For the first few years I would try to protest, "But it's not supposed to be a spicy dish!" Yet they still persist. Now, I just love them as (the Philistines) they are. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I make my quiche w Gruyere too, it's so delicious. My dh has done that before w other dishes and tabasco and I felt the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Just wanted to add..... I am Cajun. My whole family is Cajun. Tabasco Sauce (not hot sauce, not "Louisiana" hot sauce) is required on everything, along with Tony Chachere's seasoning. It doesn't matter who cooked it, what was cooked, wheter you ordered it in a restaurant or not, you put at least one of those two things on it. Those don't bother me. Other stuff does, but I know it shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerPoppy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 On your behalf, I'd like to let out a loud HARUMPH! Your quiche sounds divine--a work of art.

Abigail4476 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I vote for uncouth Philistine! :D My husband has an obnoxious affinity for cajun seasoning and Frank's hot sauce. He puts one or the other on just about everything. :glare: I've yet to see him use both at the same time, but I'm certain it will happen someday. I let it go, but it always make me a little cross. On a positive note, your quiche sounds heavenly. I need to make a one....:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy in Australia Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Sadly, I know this scenario all too well. It just has to come down to "yes, it bothers me, now move on :)" . Fortunately my DH is generally a connaisseur of fine food (ie. my cooking :D) and usually appreciates. Also, he has learned to apologise before putting said salsa/chili sauce/tomato sauce on dishes that should bever be treated that way :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myeightkiddies Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I voted that it would bother me. It does, but it doesn't upset me, any longer. I'm use to my husband. We've been married for a long time. He is just like that and I strive not to take any of it personally. Sometimes that is a challenge. On many occasions I have gone to a lot of trouble preparing a beautiful meal. The kids love it. It tastes great, looks beautiful, and was worth all the time and effort to prepare. He, my dear husband, will come in just prior to it being finished and start making macaroni and cheese with tuna :glare:. He has decided that he has a craving and really wants that. I use to get rather upset about it, but over time I just enjoy the dinner and let him do this thing. :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaNZ Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 My dh puts chilli sauce on everything, unless I've made him a (hot) curry. I'm so used to it now it doesn't bother me.

Janie Grace Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Well, I do have to say I'm glad I'm not the only one! It does help a bit to not take this personally. For my dh, the condiment of choice is hot sauce. On EVERYthing. Sometimes crushed red pepper, but definitely one or the other. My brain says "whatever." My heart says "why don't you eat it the way it is, in all its lovely perfection!?!?!" That said, he does it in restaurants, too ("Can I have a side of buffalo sauce with that?"). I just roll my eyes.

Chris in VA Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah, definitely Philistine. But love him the way he is. Too late for change. Maybe. I felt the same way (and so did my parents, who have NOT gotten over it) when dh would take a beautiful steak (in a restaurant or at home--restaurant was way, way worse, esp to my mom and dad) and put A1 on it. <shudder> To them, it reflected the fact that he came from more blue-collar roots than I did. THey didn't like that. Steak was about once every 2 weeks for me--it was more like once every year for him (on his birthday). Funny, tho, cause my mom and dad were pretty poor during their growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 What, nobody else? It's all just husbands/kids? :laugh: Well, there are times when my husband (who, I admit, cooks more often than I do and is a better cook) makes something that I just happen to ENJOY eating (fill in the blank) on. It might be ketchup or gravy or A1 or sour cream or extra salt, or whatever the case may be. If I put it on it's because I LIKE adding that flavor, not because I DON'T like what he made. Every now and then he acts a little offended and it makes me nuts that he would take it so personally or that I should have to feel awkward about eating my food the way I enjoy it. So, I had to go with "You are being silly, Mrs. Mungo." Sorry. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom says a nice person wouldn't even think thoughts like those. Sigh. Oh, and Dh is the easiest person in the world to cook for. He has only asked me once to not make something again.

cdrumm4448 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It could have been worse. Yesterday, I made a Paleo salad with red cabbage, almonds, chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, extra-virgin organic olive oil, and balsalmic vinegar. I loved it! I put some on a plate for my DH, and when he came inside, he said he doesn't eat garbage, and threw it away. He reserved the chicken and proceeded to melt cheddar cheese on it, then ate it. He said he wants normal food, like HOT DOGS. Some people cannot be helped. (I bought him the cheapest hot dogs I could find at Wal-Mart yesterday. $.75! And yes, I am offended by the use of the term "garbage" in referring to my cooking. I am comtemplating evil toward him. :glare:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
